Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, and feeling trapped in cycles that are difficult to interrupt. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and build coping strategies that support more freedom and flexibility. When needed, we can also discuss referrals or coordinated care for more specialized OCD treatment.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: CBT-informed support with referral for specialized ERP when indicated.
I help clients understand the relationship between intrusive thoughts, anxiety, avoidance, and compulsive behaviours. Because Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized evidence-based treatment for OCD, I would refer or collaborate with an appropriately trained clinician when ERP is required

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.
