OCD
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.

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.

Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting clients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) focuses on creating a safe and understanding space where they can explore the intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that impact daily life. I use evidence-based strategies, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP), to help clients gradually confront fears, reduce compulsions, and regain control. I work collaboratively to develop practical tools and coping strategies while addressing the underlying anxiety that drives OCD patterns. My goal is to empower clients to manage their symptoms, increase confidence, and build a life that feels freer and more balanced.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
The counting, checking, arranging, and repeating aren't the problem—they're your mind's desperate attempt to manage overwhelming anxiety and find control. I understand that even starting therapy might trigger your symptoms, so we'll build trust and safety first, letting your nervous system settle before pushing deeper. Once comfort is established, we'll explore what's really driving the compulsions: the underlying trauma, the unbearable uncertainty, the fear your rituals are trying to neutralize. You'll learn healthier ways to manage anxiety, challenge the obsessive thoughts without judgment, and gradually reduce the behaviors that have taken over your life. Freedom from OCD's grip is possible through understanding what fuels it.

Kyle Loney
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, CCC, LCT-C
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can easily get to a point of running our lives, having us feel disconnected from ourselves and others, and causing us to spend much of our day stressed and uncomfortable. I use Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help my clients work with their OCD and get back to a sense of control, stability, and safety. Moving away from OCD is a careful process of working with our fears and understanding our patterns, so that we can get better doing what needs to be done, and sitting in emotion when the best option is doing nothing.
