Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be profoundly distressing. It involves persistent, intrusive thoughts—often unwanted and anxiety-inducing—that drive individuals to perform repetitive behaviors or mental rituals in an attempt to relieve the discomfort. While these compulsions may offer temporary relief, they ultimately reinforce a cycle of obsessive thinking and compulsive action, deepening the distress over time.
The fear behind OCD can feel overwhelming, even paralyzing—anchored in the belief that if these rituals aren’t completed, something terrible might happen. What makes it even more challenging is that individuals with OCD are often aware that their thoughts and behaviors are irrational or excessive, yet still feel powerless to stop them. This internal conflict can lead to intense emotional exhaustion and a diminished sense of control.
Therapeutic approaches such as Narrative Therapy (NT) can help individuals explore and reframe their experiences, while mindfulness practices and targeted lifestyle changes support the management of anxiety and obsessive thinking. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy may also be used to uncover and heal the deeper emotional wounds or internal conflicts that give rise to compulsive patterns.
Every person’s experience with OCD is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, with an integrative, evidence-based approach tailored to the individual, it is possible to significantly reduce—and in some cases, eliminate—symptoms, empowering individuals to reclaim a sense of peace, agency, and stability in their lives.

Steph Collins Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MDiv
I support clients navigating Religious/moral OCD (Also known as Scrupulosoty). Folks with these symptoms experience intrusive thoughts, intense anxiety and pathological guilt about violating their religious, moral or ethical values. These excessive thoughts focus on the fear of being“sinful”, offending God, behaving immorally and often lead to compulsive acts like obsessive praying, confessing, doubting etc

OCD
Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
When working with OCD, I focus on helping clients understand both the patterns behind their thoughts and the behaviours that keep the cycle going. Often, compulsions develop for understandable reasons—they are attempts to reduce anxiety or regain a sense of control. However, eventually they get in the way of us living the life that we want. Together, we take the time to explore what may be driving these patterns while also working on practical strategies to loosen their grip.

Bonnie Nelson

Distressing preoccupations and relentless thoughts left untreated can cause life disruptions, isolation and avoidance behaviours to take over. Sometimes mental relief feels like miles away, but psychoeducation mixed with talk therapy can help clients to take back their power.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves struggling with obsessive or compulsive behaviors that impact your daily functioning. The brain gets stuck on a particular thought or urge, such as excessive hand washing, checking that the door is locked 20 times, or hoarding things in the house that isn't needed. It's often linked to fears of losing control, of not having enough, or of being contaminated by germs or contaminating others. Therapy can help you identity triggers, monitor and resist urges, and combat obsessive thoughts.

OCD
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is another mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is usual to have routines that make us better even though it would not distress us if we could not do them. OCD on the other hand is when these routines start to impact the sufferer’s life, they inhibit them from fully functioning daily. Thus, people with OCD can feel as though their impulses and behaviours are outside of their control and are somehow unnatural.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
OCD can feel consuming—thoughts, urges, or rituals may take up significant mental and emotional energy, often leaving you frustrated, anxious, or exhausted. You might find yourself stuck in patterns that feel uncontrollable, or constantly trying to prevent worst-case scenarios, even when they don’t make sense to others.
In therapy, I provide a compassionate space to understand how OCD shows up in your life and work with you on strategies to manage intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsions, and regain a sense of control. The goal is to help you live more freely and confidently, without being ruled by fear or ritual.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
