Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
OCD can be debilitating due to having unwanted, recurring thoughts that cause people to engage in frequent, repetitive behaviours in order to relieve anxiety. People with OCD often feel overwhelmed due to needing things a certain way with leaving little to no room for flexibility. Rigidity takes over, which can create feelings of sadness and helplessness. The therapy models that I use for OCD are primarily Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The CBT model involves challenging unwanted thoughts that may be exacerbating the OCD. Once clients identify the thoughts that are linked to the unwanted behaviours, they learn to have more choice over how they would like to respond to those thoughts. Gaining control over the unwanted thoughts is a powerful step in the healing process, as clients feel empowered to make independent choices that are in line with their values. Values-oriented work is largely derived from the ACT model. As we explore values, clients gain a deep understanding of the type of life they would like to live. They explore what makes life rich and meaningful and what changes need to happen in order to reach their full potential.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can look very different from person to person. For some people, it will involve actions that they feel they have to do over and over again, and can't stop doing. For others, it may mainly involve intrusive thoughts that pop into their mind over and over again, when they don't want them, and which are very upsetting. Some people who had mild versions of these thoughts or compulsions may have been triggered to more severe experiences during the past few years. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will work on changing your relationship with these thoughts and urges, so that you no longer feel trapped by them every time they occur.
