OCD
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
Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Living with obsessive-compulsive disorder can feel like being trapped in an exhausting cycle of intrusive, unwanted thoughts and the urgent pressure to perform compulsive rituals just to find a moment of relief. It can take up enormous amounts of time and energy, leaving you feeling isolated and overwhelmed. You don't have to fight those mental loops by yourself. Using an evidence-based cognitive behavioural approach—including specialized tools like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—we will work collaboratively and at your pace to gently untangle the grip of OCD, help you build tolerance for uncertainty, and reclaim your time, peace, and freedom.

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.

OCD
Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
OCD is exhausting in a way few people understand: the intrusive thoughts you'd never act on, the rituals that promise relief but demand more each time, the shame of a mind that won't let go. None of it reflects who you are. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to understand how OCD operates, separate yourself from its demands, and gradually reclaim the time and peace it's taken. The goal isn't just to quiet the thoughts, it's to genuinely understand yourself, change your relationship with uncertainty, and build a life led by your values instead of your fears. Together we'll work toward feeling more free, more present, and more equipped to live on your own terms.

Michael Chu
Registered Psychotherapist
OCD can be hard to understand in ourselves. Why are we so fixed? Therapy can be a space where we can uncover the fixation beyond the obvious. What drives you? Why must this be perfect? I'll work with you every step of the way to ensure you leave with a better understanding of yourself.

Nadia Yuen
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Living with OCD can feel like being caught in a loop of intrusive thoughts and urges to do things a certain way just to feel “okay” again. It can be exhausting, confusing, and isolating. I support adults with OCD using a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps you better understand what’s happening in your mind and gently build new ways to respond—with less fear and more freedom.

OCD
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
MindFit offers a 10-12 weekly OCD-Busters program, personalized to your strengths and challenges, and grounded in gold standard evidence-based approaches which include cognitive-behavioural therapy and exposure and response prevention. More specifically, you and your clinician would talk more about what OCD is, discuss how thoughts-feelings-and behaviours are related/impact anxiety, list your feared situations, teach you strategies to manage your anxiety, and then engage in step-wise and gradual behavioral experiments to help you face your fears. Many of the coaches at MindFit have been trained specifically in OCD treatment and receive ongoing consultation and/or supervision.
It's important to note that OCD is not your fault! You didn’t do anything wrong to develop OCD. It’s not a matter of choice anymore than asthma or diabetes. It’s an illness and it can’t be cured through willpower. However, with the help of a professional, you can participate in effective “workout programs” (treatment plans) to regain control of your life.

Anna Skomorovskaia (Sky)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
As a psychotherapist, I chose to work with OCD because I understand the significant impact that this condition can have on an individual's daily life. OCD is a complex disorder that involves intrusive and persistent thoughts, images, or impulses, which can cause distress and anxiety. These thoughts and impulses can lead to repetitive and ritualistic behaviors that interfere with an individual's ability to function in their daily life. I believe that through therapy, individuals can learn new coping strategies and develop a better understanding of their OCD symptoms. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify the underlying causes of their OCD and develop new ways of managing their symptoms. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental and supportive space where my clients can feel heard and understood, and I am dedicated to helping them achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.

Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
If obsessive thoughts or ritualistic behaviors are starting to take over your daily routine, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep it all inside. People with OCD feel stuck in cycles of anxiety and relief, where avoidance or compulsive behavior offers only temporary comfort. Therapy focuses on breaking the loop between the thought and the ritual. Rather than trying to eliminate intrusive thoughts, treatment helps you shift what happens next. It helps you notice the thought without debating it, neutralizing it, or chasing certainty, while resisting the compulsions that keep OCD going. Visit pathwaytoself.ca to book a free 20-minute consultation and ask any questions you have.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder that's actively disrupting your life, make sure you find a specialist to work with.
If you have a specialist, or your tendencies are more mild (i.e. not an active threat to your health and well-being), let's talk. Somatic Experiencing has the potential to help you track with the physical aspect of a compulsion, that is, instead of thinking about what the urge is, you feel what the urge feels like.
It's hard to believe it till you experience it, but once you can find the physical aspect of a compulsion and learn to track it with some curiosity, it has the potential to change more quickly than addressing the specifics of the compulsion itself.
Again, this isn't a treatment for an OCD diagnosis, but it can be a great supplement to treatment, helping you feel safer and more settled in your body as you navigate this.
