Hi, I'm Monica - a therapist here at NOCD! Drop me your questions about OCD in the comments below

Hi everyone, I'm Monica! I'm based in Plainfield, IL. I have been married 15 years and have 3 children. My greatest joy comes from embarking on adventures with my family. Seeing the world through my children's eyes and sharing their excitement is truly fulfilling. I decided to beocme a therapist because I have always been drawn to helping others and wanted a career where I could make a meaningful difference in people's lives. I'm passionate about helping individuals with OCD overcome their challenges and live fulfilling lives. The resilience and strength of my clients inspire me every day. My members often tell me they feel comfortable with me because I create a safe, non-judgmental space where they can openly share their experiences and emotions. If you're currently struggling with OCD, you are not alone in this journey. OCD can be challenging, but with support and effective treatment, you can overcome it and live a fulfilling life.

Yes, I completely understand wanting to have answers. I encourage you to reach out to our care team to be matched with a therapist who can assess and talk to you in more detail about what you have been experiencing.

Hello, My sincere apologies for the delayed response as I am just returning from vacation today. Yes, we are now accepting BCBS. By all means please reach out to our care team to take the next steps to get started with treatment. We can assist you with a referral to a psychiatrist who can talk to you in more detail about medication options. And we do not offer in person sessions. All sessions are held virtually via Zoom. Please let me know if you have any other questions and I will be sure to get back to you in a timely manner.

Thanks for getting back to me. No.apologies are necessary. I am glad you had a,vacation!!!😊 Anyway, how does treatment o er the phone wirk? I only have my phone, bo computee. I had to speak with my daughter's pediatrician and that did not work well wherher the problem was with my cell phone or on his,side. We ended up speaking o er the pho e each time we talked...no zoom meeting. Would that be allowed? Also, would I have to see a while different petson to be on medicine I r does NOCD speak to that psychiatrist and then prescribe?

Thank you! We are not able to provide treatment over a phone call. It does have to be video. Are you able to download zoom or have access to Google meet? You would see two different people for psychiatry and therapy but those two are definitely able to coordinate your treatment to optimize your success.
