Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
OCD isn’t just worry—it’s a cycle of intrusive thoughts, distress, and compulsions that temporarily relieve anxiety but strengthen the loop over time. Therapy can help you learn evidence-based tools to tolerate uncertainty, reduce rituals, and get your life back from fear. We’ll move at a pace that is challenging but safe, with clear structure and support.

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.

Oshawa is an Ontario city east of Toronto whose identity has long been tied to General Motors and the automotive manufacturing industry, and the economic and psychological stresses of an industrial economy facing ongoing transformation shape the mental health needs of many residents. The city is home to Ontario Tech University, whose growing student population creates demand for young adult and student mental health services, and Durham College also provides counselling resources to its students. Common therapy concerns include workplace and financial stress, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and the challenges of living in a city navigating a significant economic identity shift. Access to Toronto's larger therapy market via GO Transit gives Oshawa residents more options than a city of its size might otherwise offer, and telehealth has further expanded the range of available practitioners.
