Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting clients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) focuses on creating a safe and understanding space where they can explore the intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that impact daily life. I use evidence-based strategies, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP), to help clients gradually confront fears, reduce compulsions, and regain control. I work collaboratively to develop practical tools and coping strategies while addressing the underlying anxiety that drives OCD patterns. My goal is to empower clients to manage their symptoms, increase confidence, and build a life that feels freer and more balanced.

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.

Kevin Ruddell
Psychologist, M.A., R. Psych
OCD is an anxiety disorder that dominate the mind with obsessive thoughts and is often followed by compulsive behaviors. By challenging faulty thought process and adjusting behavioural patterns we can often reduce the intensity of the anxiety that presents when the stimuli that triggers the anxiety presents.

Adrie-Anne Gamble
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC, CCC, EMDR | ERP | IFS | Attachment
If you’re struggling with OCD, you may feel trapped in cycles of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, reassurance seeking, checking, avoidance, or mental rituals. OCD can be exhausting and all consuming, especially when it starts to interfere with your relationships, work, faith, or daily life.
I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to help you learn how to respond differently to obsessive thoughts and reduce the compulsive behaviors that keep the OCD cycle going. I have specialized ERP training through the International OCD Foundation’s Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI).
