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.

Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
When working with OCD, I focus on helping clients understand both the patterns behind their thoughts and the behaviours that keep the cycle going. Often, compulsions develop for understandable reasons—they are attempts to reduce anxiety or regain a sense of control. However, eventually they get in the way of us living the life that we want. Together, we take the time to explore what may be driving these patterns while also working on practical strategies to loosen their grip.

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.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
