Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I provide targeted support to individuals struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, and anxiety that interfere with daily life. My approach combines evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to help clients challenge and manage their symptoms in a safe and structured manner. I work collaboratively with clients to build coping skills, reduce distress, and regain control over their lives, fostering resilience and hope throughout the therapeutic process.

Joanna Szczeskiewicz
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) is characterized by presence of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are the unwanted intrusive thoughts and images that can include unwarranted concerns about a loved one dying in their sleep, disturbing vivid images of stabbing a person standing nearby, or worrying about having grabbed a used needle and injecting oneself with drugs without even being aware of having done so. Obsessions are all about uncertainty. Compulsions represent attempts at dealing with that uncertainty. Some compulsive behaviours appear to make at least some sense (e.g., being vigilant about wellbeing of others), while others don’t make any sense at all (e.g., counting to 100 each time a thought of potential harm comes to person’s mind). Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) protocol for OCD starts with building an inventory of obsessions and compulsions that the affected person engages in. This is followed by cognitive interventions that seek to understand and challenge the beliefs that underpin these symptoms. Many persons with OCD recognize the irrational nature of their thoughts and behaviours. So we use exposure response prevention (ERP) techniques that teach at a very visceral level that despite undeniable initial discomfort, letting go of one’s rituals does not lead to danger. It might not be the most comfortable treatment but, given its proven effectiveness, it’s worth the effort.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
OCD can feel consuming—thoughts, urges, or rituals may take up significant mental and emotional energy, often leaving you frustrated, anxious, or exhausted. You might find yourself stuck in patterns that feel uncontrollable, or constantly trying to prevent worst-case scenarios, even when they don’t make sense to others.
In therapy, I provide a compassionate space to understand how OCD shows up in your life and work with you on strategies to manage intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsions, and regain a sense of control. The goal is to help you live more freely and confidently, without being ruled by fear or ritual.
