Angela Jones
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, BSW (Psychotherapist)
Living with OCD can feel exhausting and overwhelming. The endless cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions can take so much away from daily life. You don’t have to go through this alone. I provide specialized, evidence-based treatment using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you face fears, reduce compulsions, and start reclaiming your life.

Atlas Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Support for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) focuses on helping individuals understand the cycle of obsessions and compulsions and reduce the distress they create. Using evidence-based approaches, clients are guided in learning how to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, manage anxiety, and gradually reduce compulsive behaviours. The work is centred on building tolerance for uncertainty, strengthening coping skills, and improving overall functioning and quality of life.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
OCD is often far more exhausting and misunderstood than many people realize. It is not just about being organized or liking things a certain way — it can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, mental rituals, shame, and the constant pressure of trying to find certainty, relief, or safety.
For many people, OCD can overlap with trauma, neurodivergence, nervous system dysregulation, or deeper patterns of fear and self-doubt.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in helping you better understand what may be happening beneath the surface while building awareness, reducing shame, and strengthening healthier ways of responding. Together, we work toward creating more freedom, flexibility, and self-trust rather than staying trapped in cycles that feel exhausting and hard to break.

OCD, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by persistent and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). The compulsions are performed in an attempt to alleviate anxiety caused by the obsessions, but they often provide only temporary relief and can interfere with daily life activities.
Symptoms of OCD can vary, but common obsessions include concerns about contamination, a need for order and symmetry, and intrusive, distressing thoughts. Compulsions may include excessive cleaning and hand-washing, repeated checking, counting, or organizing, and mental rituals.
OCD can have a significant impact on quality of life, but it is treatable. Effective treatments for OCD include a combination of psychotherapy, specifically Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP), and medication. If you or a loved one is struggling with OCD, it is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional to receive a proper diagnosis and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
