OCD
Ida Uzelman
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC-P, RTC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can feel consuming, making it hard to focus, relax, or feel in control. I provide a safe, compassionate space to explore the patterns and triggers behind intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, while helping you develop practical strategies to manage symptoms. Together, we work toward reducing anxiety, building resilience, and creating a life where OCD no longer dictates your daily choices or limits your potential.

OCD
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.

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.

OCD
Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
OCD is an incredibly isolating experience that often carries a heavy weight of shame and self-judgment. I want you to know right away that this is not your fault, and no one would ever choose to be stuck in a relentless cycle of intrusive thoughts and exhausting rituals just to feel briefly safe. I am deeply passionate about helping you break out of this mental prison. Using a direct, compassionate, and evidence-based approach, a core part of our work will involve Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Step-by-step, we will practice becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable. By integrating mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we will collaboratively face your fears without surrendering to the compulsions. We aren't trying to simply ignore the thoughts, we are working to strip away their power so you can finally experience true freedom.
