My therapist Michele Anuszkiewicz was super helpful even in just a handful of sessions. She did a great job of balancing listening and supporting without reinforcing obsessive thoughts or compulsive mental rituals. I felt like she was able to work with all the different OCD themes I experience, and had creative ideas for exposures.

Michele Anuszkiesicz at NOCD has been helping me immensely for over three months now and I continue to look forward each session, as I continually notice results and growth and feel very respected and supported. I highly recommend her. I came to Michele looking for help with what I suspected was hoarding and/or OCD. I wanted help: 1) getting rid of stuff that I had trouble letting go of, 2) stopping collecting in the first place, 3) stop excessively reviewing my work, 4) stop getting mired in decision making with perfectionism. Michele has helped me every session immensely in all these areas and more that I probably forgot and we've agreed on useful homework that feels doable, our "experiments" to see how I can try on my own. I have felt very safe to go through the whole process with her because of her nonjudgmental, respectful communication, and the way she has encouraged me gently to take on challenges. It is evident that she has had a lot of experience in this area, which feels incredibly valuable when we address the challenges I face and the thoughts and feelings I have. She has discussed setbacks with gentle nonjudgmental encouragement and celebrated my getting through challenges, in what feels very kind and genuine. Her questions and ideas have been presented gently and I always feel that I am treated as an independent person, with great respect for the power to ultimately be mine to make decisions. I hope this review has been helpful and wish anyone reading good luck on your journey!

Michele is really open-minded and nonjudgmental, and I feel more grounded and in control of my mental state after speaking with her.

I have been pulling my hair for at least 25 years. I’ve been working with Michele for 2 months and I went 10 days pull free already. She has been so helpful in figuring out the root of the problem and exploring different ideas that would work for me.
