OCD
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.

OCD
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.

Amelia Traer
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), BA, PsiChi
What if your brain won’t let you leave a thought alone, no matter how much reassurance you seek? OCD can make everyday life feel exhausting, with intrusive thoughts, unwanted images, doubts, and compulsions taking up far more space than you want them to. Amelia offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space to understand OCD and work toward feeling less controlled by it. You don’t have to be ashamed of your thoughts or figure them out alone.

OCD
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.
