Hi, I'm Noah - a therapist here at NOCD. Ask Me Anything in the comments below!
I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and have lived in New York since 2008. I live with my wife and son and daughter (ages 3 years old and 6 months). I enjoy following sports, politics, reading, and studying Talmud and other Jewish texts. I love the idea of getting to know a person and helping them find their strengths and then working with them on utilizing those strengths to overcome their challenges and achieve what they want to achieve. I myself was diagnosed with OCD when I was a senior in high school. Thank G-d, through a combination of therapy, hard work, and medication, I have been able to make tremendous progress in overcoming my OCD and taking my life back. I love the idea of being able to help other people on their journey towards freedom from OCD. I have a good sense of humor which I employ during sessions and I am a good listener. What you are going through is extremely challenging, and unfortunately, largely misunderstood by the general population. However, there are many wonderful therapists who truly understand how debilitating this mental illness is and who are qualified to help. Overcoming this is possible! I'd love to chat with you. Drop me your questions or share your experiences below, and I'll be sure to respond to each and every comment!
