We will collaborate on the best treatment plan for you. I typically use a less traditional approach to CBT, in place of having you fill out a chart, I will ask you the questions. We can come up with exposure therapy that suits you.

Ahmadreza Zamani
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
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.

Throughout our journey, you'll learn coping mechanisms, mindfulness practices, and strategies to challenge the patterns that OCD has created. Remember, you have the strength to overcome these challenges and rewrite the narrative of your life.
Let's embark on this journey towards empowerment and change. Reach out to me today, and let's work on overcoming OCD together, one step at a time, towards a life that's not defined by rituals and fears.

OCD consists of obsessional thoughts and/or compulsive behaviours. These thoughts are recurring and persistent, and are unwanted and intrusive in nature. Additionally, compulsive behaviours are repetitive and done in response to obsessional thoughts or in response to rigid rules. Your therapist will work with you to identify your obsessions and compulsions, while utilizing Exposure and Response Prevention therapy.

Dr. Justin Dubé
Psychologist, Ph.D, C.Psych (Supervised Practice)
Anxiety provoking intrusions and the ways that we manage these can be extremely disruptive. What's worse is that the harder we try to manage our intrusive thoughts or images, the stronger they become. I have extensive training in the gold standard treatment for OCD -- Exposure and Response Prevention -- and will help you to learn skills to effectively manage symptoms of OCD and built a life worth living.
