Getting to know Darlene Friend
I specialize in OCD and use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Beyond our sessions, you'll have access to ongoing support when you need it most, including direct messaging, support groups, and real-time help when OCD symptoms spike.
At NOCD, you're in a safe, non-judgmental space. Know that what you're experiencing is valid. I take a comprehensive and individualized approach to OCD treatment, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). With compassion and collaboration, I'll develop exercises that help desensitize the triggers that provoke your anxiety. In addition to OCD, my areas of focus include anxiety disorders and depression.
