Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
OCD is actually your way of coping with anxiety. You might not have knowingly chosen to become obsessive with your thoughts and compulsive in your actions. But your body is convinced doing the excessive acts will somehow make you less stressed. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Let me teach you new ways to cope with anxiety so that you can start changing how much time and energy your thoughts and behaviours are robbing from you.

OCD
Hailey Goldberg
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker (MSW), DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™
I provide support for individuals experiencing OCD, particularly when intrusive, unwanted thoughts are creating significant distress or interfering with daily life. Many people with OCD worry that their thoughts mean something about who they are or what they might do, leading to significant fear, shame, self-doubt, and attempts to gain certainty or reassurance. In therapy, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore these experiences and better understand how OCD can become stuck in cycles of fear and compulsive responding.
Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients learn new ways of relating to intrusive thoughts so they have less power and influence over daily life. Whether your OCD involves themes related to harm, relationships, sexuality, morality, health, or other unwanted thoughts, my goal is to help you build confidence in your ability to tolerate uncertainty and live in accordance with your values rather than your fears.

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.

OCD
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.
