Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Ribalkin, MA, MA, RP
I am very knowledgeable about the OCD and am very familiar with effective ways of managing OCD. This is an area in which I am particularly well versed in and can offer experience, understanding and practical steps for people to start managing their OCD.
Are you preoccupied with obsessive thoughts? Do these disturbing thoughts interfere with your work or social life? Do you engage in compulsions or rituals to try to reduce the distress associated with the thoughts?
At CareWay we offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and incorporate mindfulness, cognitive restructuring and acceptance practices in order to help you 'unhook' from the thoughts, change your focus of attention and engage in behaviours which are in line with your values and goals. Now also offering Inference-Based CBT for OCD! Please reach out today for a free telephone consultation.
Every one of us has habits, but when some habit becomes disruptive and effects an individual’s smooth functioning in day-to-day life that can be challenging and if not treated at an early stage it can become a mental illness.
You may feel powerless to stop obsessive thoughts and urges or repetitive behaviours. We can explore ways to help you change these thought patterns to reduce anxious feelings and compulsions. Let us work together to create strategies to help break the cycle of undesirable urges.
Some of our licensed therapists have extensive training and experience providing ERP psychotherapy treatment for OCD to children, adolescents, and adults.
