Claire Benade
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
OCD can have an impact on several areas of our daily lives. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Having Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be incredibly distressing. It involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing anxiety. These compulsions provide temporary relief but create a cycle of distressing obsessing thoughts and compulsive behaviors. The constant fear of something terrible happening if rituals are not performed can be paralyzing. Despite recognizing that these obsessions and compulsions are irrational and disruptive, individuals with OCD often feel powerless to stop them. Therapy, such as Narrative Therapy (NT), is used to explore their experiences, while lifestyle changes and mindfulness techniques can help manage symptoms. Internal Family Systems may also be employed to identify and address the roots of these behaviors. Each person's journey with OCD is unique, but an integrative and evidence-based approach can lead to a significant reduction or elimination of symptoms.

Megan Hanrahan
Psychologist, M.C., Registered Psychologist
OCD is a complex disorder that is often misconstrued in our popular culture. It encompasses a lot more than just orderliness and compulsive handwashing. Individuals with this disorder experience distressing obsessions and/or compulsions that are usually categorized thematically. These themes include (but are not limited to) fear of contamination, fear of acting aggressively, fear of something terrible happening or fear of becoming ill. OCD can be all-encompassing and can make it hard to get through the day. In our work together, we’ll explore how OCD shows up for you, what it tries to tell you, and how to tackle it head-on.
