can NOCD therapists offer sessions that cover other mental health/life issues that i need to work on and fix? like just my day to day life, issues that I'm having with family or my relationship, ext. and school stress? as well as receiving treatment for OCD.
I try to have two therapists when possible, one on here for the ERP for OCD and another therapist elsewhere for CBT for most of my other issues, between the two therapists it covers about 90 % of my issues and concerns.
thank you!
I just have my NOCD therapist. I’ve been with her for almost two years. At first it was strictly OCD and ERP, now I just do check ins and we talk about others things besides OCD; any stressors, life events, etc.
that's lovely! I'm hoping to be able to get into therapy when I can afford it, so I have been hoping that an OCD specialist and also be a "talk about life and other problems" therapist too but I know that could be a lot to expect sometimes.
You’ll need to find another specialist for your other mental illnesses but that’s completely normal.
We know from personal experience that living with OCD can feel isolating, so it’s important to have support from someone who truly understands you. That’s why every member who begins treatment at NOCD Therapy is connected to a Peer Advisor. Our team of Peer Advisors at NOCD Therapy has experienced OCD and completed ERP at NOCD Therapy. They can relate to what you may be experiencing as you begin your treatment journey and are available to address questions, hesitations, or fears you may have. They’ll help you prepare for your first therapy session and will check in afterward to ensure that your NOCD therapist was a good match. At NOCD Therapy, you’re never alone as you begin your OCD treatment journey. Book a free call with our team to learn more about working with a NOCD therapist that can help you get better, and getting support from a Peer Advisor when you start.
Part of my goal is to give back to others who have struggled like me so I would love to answer questions anyone has about OCD, Anxeity, or Depression! As a background around 2 years ago I fell into a really bad stint of depression, anxeity, and severe OCD. Through help with NOCD and lifestyle changes I was able to get my life back on track and create a wonderful life for myself! Drop any questions/ reach out if you just want to talk below!
Do you need a formal OCD diagnosis to have specific therapy for it, either on this app or for in person/other online therapy? Can NOCD give you a diagnosis or do you need to go to a doctor?
