Gary Vandalfsen

My session with Gary today was so so helpful. I had a really rough weekend after a trigger on Thursday night, and so my boyfriend encouraged me to meet with him before my next scheduled time (in October). He helped me understand the situation and factors that triggered me so badly and why I reacted the way I did. He also gave me tips for when to not overwhelm myself with exposures. So grateful for him!

Gary continues to be such an incredible, encouraging therapist. He not only helps me realize what I need to work on, but he provides realistic exposures and exercises to learn how to build strength in that area. My struggle has been SOOCD for the more part but for the last couple months, I’ve struggled with symmetry OCD/need to make things “just right” and he helped me create simple ways to combat that. So so grateful for him!!

Cannot say enough good things about Gary and his expertise. He is the perfect balance of encouraging and challenging and always pushes me to work hard. I am so grateful for his work with me!

Gary has been absolutely wonderful to work with. His wisdom and approach to OCD have been nothing short of life- changing for me. Would recommend him and NOCD to anyone struggling with OCD. You will be uncomfortable, you will face things that you didn’t think you could, and in the end, you will be all the better for it.

I can’t thank Gary enough for all the help he’s already provided!! He’s always open to questions and pushes me and really encourages me to get the most out of the therapy, which requires a LOT of work on my part. He’s amazing!!

Great therapist.

Gary made me feel incredibly comfortable & at ease. I was able to share openly & he was very informative and knowledgeable.

Gary is a fantastic therapist. He listens to me and makes me feel like he truly cares for my health and happiness.

Gary is the best!

Gary is an incredible therapist to work through OCD therapy and ERP. He is kind, non-judgemental and he really helps to make sure I'm an active participant in our sessions!

Gary is a wonderful therapist with extensive training in OCD. I often find myself repeating his mantras. He pushed me out of my comfort zone but also met me where I was. He was very sweet and understanding when my life got in the way of therapy appointments and I had to watch my daughter simultaneously. Thank you Gary!

Extremely helpful session. Thank you.

Gary is extremely good at what he does and does it with kindness and compassion.

When I started with Gary Vandalfsen I was at the lowest point I’ve ever been. OCD was negatively affecting my relationships, had caused me to go into a deep depression and left me feeling like a shell of my former self. OCD had caused my entire world to shrink, so much so that I just wanted to stay in bed. After only a few weeks of working with Gary Vandalfsen I was beginning to see significant change. Today, my relationships are healthy, my depression has significantly reduced, and I feel joy and hope in my life. Gary Vandalfsen Is kind, straightforward, and invested in your success. He shares in your joy when you make improvements and pushes you to succeed. Could not recommend enough and I am incredibly grateful to him for truly helping me to live again.
