Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW Registered Social Worker/ Psychotherapist
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder that affects people of all ages. Obsessions are unwanted intrusive thoughts, images or urges that trigger distress. Compulsions are behaviours that individuals engage in to try to get rid of the obsessions and/or decrease the distress. OCD treatment can be really difficult and requires a lot of support. I am here to help. I have specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to treat OCD.

MindFit offers a 10-12 weekly OCD-Busters program, personalized to your strengths and challenges, and grounded in gold standard evidence-based approaches which include cognitive-behavioural therapy and exposure and response prevention. More specifically, you and your clinician would talk more about what OCD is, discuss how thoughts-feelings-and behaviours are related/impact anxiety, list your feared situations, teach you strategies to manage your anxiety, and then engage in step-wise and gradual behavioral experiments to help you face your fears. Many of the coaches at MindFit have been trained specifically in OCD treatment and receive ongoing consultation and/or supervision.
It's important to note that OCD is not your fault! You didn’t do anything wrong to develop OCD. It’s not a matter of choice anymore than asthma or diabetes. It’s an illness and it can’t be cured through willpower. However, with the help of a professional, you can participate in effective “workout programs” (treatment plans) to regain control of your life.
