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.

Lisa Low (Alliance Counselling and Assessment Services)
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, BA, M.Ed., RCC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic disorder where a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts and behaviors that they feel the urge to repeat over and over again. Engaging in these repetitive acts and thoughts is a way to reduce and manage a person’s anxiety. We will look at how to approach
situations that create obsessive thinking and emotional distress and how to resist acting on urges to engage in your compulsive behavior. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming compulsive urges.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a compassionate approach to supporting clients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), blending a range of therapeutic techniques to suit each individual's journey. Through the use of holistic strategies such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we tackle the complexities of OCD together. This integrative method allows us to address both the obsessive thoughts and the compulsive actions, working towards managing symptoms and reducing their impact on daily life. By emphasizing personal growth and self-awareness, we explore strategies for coping with anxiety, enhancing decision-making, and improving overall mental well-being. My role is to walk alongside you, providing the tools and guidance needed to navigate OCD, aiming to empower you with the strength and resilience to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
