Why OCD Is My Specialty
I chose to specialize in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder because I have seen how deeply it can impact a person’s daily life—and how much hope there is when the right treatment is available. Many people with OCD spend years feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or trapped in cycles of fear and compulsion. This is why I committed my training and practice to learning the most effective, evidence-based approaches for OCD, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
OCD is complex and often looks different from person to person—whether it shows up as intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination fears, “just right” feelings, or moral doubts. I find it deeply meaningful to help people understand that these experiences do not define who they are. In therapy, I work alongside clients to reduce the power OCD has over their lives and to help them reconnect with their values, relationships, and goals.
Specializing in OCD allows me to provide focused, compassionate, and practical care for individuals who may have struggled to find the right kind of help before. It’s my goal to create a safe space where you feel understood, supported, and equipped with the tools to build a life less dominated by OCD.

Satvinder Khurme
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
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.

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.

OCD
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is another mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is usual to have routines that make us better even though it would not distress us if we could not do them. OCD on the other hand is when these routines start to impact the sufferer’s life, they inhibit them from fully functioning daily. Thus, people with OCD can feel as though their impulses and behaviours are outside of their control and are somehow unnatural.
