Michelle Labine
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Counselling Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
OCD is more than intrusive thoughts and visible compulsions. It can also show up in relationships through persistent doubt, reassurance-seeking, overanalyzing, rumination, and a need for certainty about feelings, decisions, or the relationship itself. These patterns can be exhausting and often create more anxiety rather than relief. Together, we can develop a better understanding of OCD, reduce the grip of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, and build greater confidence in tolerating uncertainty while strengthening your relationship with yourself and others.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
The counting, checking, arranging, and repeating aren't the problem—they're your mind's desperate attempt to manage overwhelming anxiety and find control. I understand that even starting therapy might trigger your symptoms, so we'll build trust and safety first, letting your nervous system settle before pushing deeper. Once comfort is established, we'll explore what's really driving the compulsions: the underlying trauma, the unbearable uncertainty, the fear your rituals are trying to neutralize. You'll learn healthier ways to manage anxiety, challenge the obsessive thoughts without judgment, and gradually reduce the behaviors that have taken over your life. Freedom from OCD's grip is possible through understanding what fuels it.

Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
OCD goes far beyond a desire for cleanliness; it is a cycle of intrusive, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and the repetitive behaviors (compulsions) used to neutralize them. This cycle can feel like a mental prison that consumes hours of your day. Using evidence-based approaches, we work to break the "feedback loop" of OCD, helping you learn to tolerate uncertainty and reclaim your time and mental energy from these intrusive patterns.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
OCD is a way of coping with deep anxiety and a need for control in a world that has felt unsafe. These patterns often develop early, when a sense of safety or emotional connection was missing, leading the mind to create order as a way to manage overwhelming internal experiences. In my work, we explore the underlying roots of these patterns with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
OCD can leave us feeling trapped in cycles of doubt, worry, and the need for certainty. You may find yourself getting caught in repetitive thoughts, seeking reassurance, or feeling unable to move on until something feels "right." Therapy can help you develop a different relationship with uncertainty and feel more confident in your ability to navigate it.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, you may feel trapped in cycles of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours. The thoughts can feel unwanted and distressing, often centred around fear, responsibility, harm, contamination, or doubt. The compulsions may temporarily reduce anxiety, yet the relief rarely lasts, and the cycle begins again. Over time, this can feel exhausting and isolating.
At Selah Counselling, we approach OCD with compassion and clinical clarity. We understand that OCD is not about preference or personality. It is a pattern rooted in anxiety and nervous system activation. Together, we work to reduce the power of intrusive thoughts, build tolerance for uncertainty, and gently interrupt compulsive behaviours through evidence-based strategies. Our goal is to help you regain freedom, strengthen regulation, and live with greater confidence rather than being driven by fear or rituals.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space for individuals living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I understand that OCD can feel overwhelming, intrusive, and isolating, and believe that healing begins with compassion, understanding, and practical strategies.
Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—including exposure and response prevention techniques when appropriate—and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), I work collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop tools to manage obsessions and compulsions.
