Len Ramsay
Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Obsession. Compulsion. Addiction. These are first cousins, thoughts and actions that seem to happen all on their own volition. In my work, there is always something good about these 3 amigos - or they would not be here in your life. The work is to discover what that is, and like in the serentiy prayer: Deal with what you can change, accept what you can't , and know the difference. Sometimes it means changing a belief, sometimes a field or environmental condition... sometimes taking care of some emotions hiding in dark places.

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.

Scott Page
Registered Psychotherapist
OCD intrudes into a persons mind by bringing up the most obnoxious, scary or offensive thoughts possible then demands that you exhaust yourself to ensure it goes away, though it never seems to leave. While this can be very painful I love working with people to address their OCD because change can be so meaningful. The thoughts do not have to win and you can make changes to live a richer and fuller life.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a compassionate approach to supporting clients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), blending a range of therapeutic techniques to suit each individual's journey. Through the use of holistic strategies such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we tackle the complexities of OCD together. This integrative method allows us to address both the obsessive thoughts and the compulsive actions, working towards managing symptoms and reducing their impact on daily life. By emphasizing personal growth and self-awareness, we explore strategies for coping with anxiety, enhancing decision-making, and improving overall mental well-being. My role is to walk alongside you, providing the tools and guidance needed to navigate OCD, aiming to empower you with the strength and resilience to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
