Marg Totten Counselling Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, MPCC, CPCC, LCT
Obsessive thinking and ruminating are one response to anxiety and easily takes over when we feel, "if I just think harder about this problem, I will be able to solve it." Unfortunately, the opposite is often true. And, the subject we are obsessing about or have developed compulsions to deal with, is rarely the real issue. I would be pleased to work with you to help you reframe any "thinking errors", and build on your experiences of resilience in a solution-focused way to take constructive action. I would also be honoured to work with you to help you mindfully ground yourself in you body when and therefore stay present, where peace and relief can often be found.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
OCD can leave us feeling trapped in cycles of doubt, worry, and the need for certainty. You may find yourself getting caught in repetitive thoughts, seeking reassurance, or feeling unable to move on until something feels "right." Therapy can help you develop a different relationship with uncertainty and feel more confident in your ability to navigate it.

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.

Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
OCD goes far beyond a desire for cleanliness; it is a cycle of intrusive, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and the repetitive behaviors (compulsions) used to neutralize them. This cycle can feel like a mental prison that consumes hours of your day. Using evidence-based approaches, we work to break the "feedback loop" of OCD, helping you learn to tolerate uncertainty and reclaim your time and mental energy from these intrusive patterns.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, you may feel trapped in cycles of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours. The thoughts can feel unwanted and distressing, often centred around fear, responsibility, harm, contamination, or doubt. The compulsions may temporarily reduce anxiety, yet the relief rarely lasts, and the cycle begins again. Over time, this can feel exhausting and isolating.
At Selah Counselling, we approach OCD with compassion and clinical clarity. We understand that OCD is not about preference or personality. It is a pattern rooted in anxiety and nervous system activation. Together, we work to reduce the power of intrusive thoughts, build tolerance for uncertainty, and gently interrupt compulsive behaviours through evidence-based strategies. Our goal is to help you regain freedom, strengthen regulation, and live with greater confidence rather than being driven by fear or rituals.
