Therapists in NYC - feedback
Hi! I’m new to NOCD and seeking the right therapist. Wondering if anyone has experience with a therapist in NYC that can be recommended?

Hi there! I know it's been a minute since you posted this. Were you ever able to get intel on NY based therapists? I know you were looking more-so for feedback from people who have received therapy, but if you're still curious and have questions, you can reach out to the care team directly and book a 15 minute call. If you have any specific treatment related questions, feel free to respond here and I'll do my best to answer what I can :)
Could I see a therapist at NOCD and also see a psychiatrist?
Hello! I am trying out and looking to partake in therapy, but I literally don’t know what is good. So could use some personal perspectives. Thanks
I've been in and out of talk therapy for OCD-related issues for years, but it hasn't been effective long-term. I am struggling with body image / eating disorder adjacent obsessions and I am really hopeful that ERP might actually give me some relief. I had my first session with my NOCD therapist a few weeks ago. It felt like a good match and I was ready to unpack my obsessions and compulsions to try ERP for the first time. The day of my second session she canceled due to personal illness. Then this happened a second time. Yesterday all of my future booked sessions were canceled without explanation. I went to schedule with a new therapist and the ones that seemed could be a good fit are filled up until at least early April. I booked a slot and sent the therapist a message letting her know I would be interested in starting sooner if a slot opened up. I am just disappointed. I could just meet with another therapist who has earlier availability, but it's most important to me that the therapist be a good fit since I've been through therapy so many times. I feel like I'm in limbo until I have an ERP plan set up and I'm not sure how to move forward in the meantime. I'm planning try out a support group but I need a personalized exposure plan and I'm not sure if that's something I should just try to set up myself? Anyone have something similar happen to them? Any thoughts or advice would be helpful.
