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.

Feel Your Way Therapy
Treatment Center, MA, RP
Living with OCD can feel exhausting — caught in cycles of intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and overwhelming anxiety. At Feel Your Way Therapy, we offer specialized, evidence-based support to help individuals manage OCD and regain a sense of control over their lives.
Our therapists use approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies to help you face fears, reduce compulsions, and build resilience against obsessive thinking.
We understand that OCD is more than just “being particular” — it’s a real, painful experience that deserves compassionate, skilled care. With the right support, it’s possible to break free from OCD’s hold and move toward a life guided by choice, not fear.

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.
