I was diagnosed with OCD when I was in high school. I would classify the severity as moderate. I have had many providers and psychiatrists due to moving states and not always having a need for therapy. Brian is one of the best providers that I ever worked with. I started therapy with Brian in February of 2023 via Zoom due to my distance from his practice. He spent 35 minutes on the phone with me during my initial consultation which I appreciated immensely. He was very thorough during the intake assessment and asked me which strategies worked for me and where I struggled. He immediately introduced me to different concepts and showed me how to apply skills in various parts of my life. He made a treatment planning document for me which no other provider has made for me which was an extension of the concepts we were working on and gave me a reference for between sessions. I found Brian to be very responsive to questions in between sessions or when I had a difficult moment. He is very friendly and engaging. He has a good sense of humor which helped me. I was very impressed with his deep knowledge and acumen of OCD and how to help me. I am happy that I found him and I think he could help anyone struggling with the condition who is motivated and willing to put in the effort. read more

I saw Brian for a few years. I have seen multiple OCD specialists as this condition has impacted me a ton over the years. He has a way of understanding your mindset better than everyone and he's given me my life back. He's helped me more than medication and he's so knowledgeable and kind. He's always there for me when I need it. One of the best providers I have ever had. To update this review, my OCD has waxed and waned over the years. I find that I can get stuck on one thing and then it can surface in a different way in the future. I still see Brian for booster sessions. Treatment is less intensive now. For anyone seeking OCD treatment, it is possible you will need to be in treatment multiple times for a refresher. The information Brian shares with me tends to be more precisely related to my current issue. At times, I just cannot help myself and that is where he comes into play. I just need that person to point out what my struggles are or more accurately, what I may be doing to make my OCD more intense or severe. I have to balance the mechanical nature of not engaging in obsessive thinking while being more aware and accepting and that is where Brian helps me the most. If you can find someone you can stick with over the years, it is so reassuring. read more

At the risk of sounding dramatic I am confident that, without the help of Dr. Brian Moran, I would have eventually been a prisoner in my own home. This is a psychologist who effortlessly creates an atmosphere akin to your living room rather than an office. No matter the depth of our conversations, he actively listens and participates with empathy, candor, sometimes frustrating rationale, and a level of sarcasm that brilliantly matches mine.  He's the most real therapist that I have ever had and I have recommended him to my friends and all have had positive experiences with him even though their personalities and issues were different. Through Dr. Moran's patience and my persistence, I am making careful progress. With his support, I'm learning to see these intrusive thoughts for what they are: just thoughts. I'm slowly learning to sit with the fear and anxiety while not allowing it to dictate my reaction or next step. read more
