OCD
Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
OCD is not about being particular or liking things clean. It's a cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions that can quietly take over enormous amounts of time, energy, and quality of life. I work with clients using evidence-based approaches, with room for the shame and exhaustion that tend to travel alongside it. The intrusive thoughts don't make you a bad person. That's usually worth saying early.

Yasmin Rombola-Bacchus
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, Registered Psychotherapist, Dipl. Psych.
OCD can be challenging to live with as you often struggle with negative or intrusive thinking patterns and feel limited control of situations. As a result, you engage in compulsive behaviors that helps you feel more in control of the situation, resulting in a decline in your quality of life. Together, we can explore strategies that can help you understand your thinking patterns and healthier coping mechanisms.

OCD
Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Whether you have an official OCD diagnosis or not, intrusive thoughts can feel like a prison holding you captive in painful feelings, confusion about yourself or reality, a constant need for reassurance and/or avoidance. Together we can use Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard OCD treatment, to teach you how to help yourself when intrusive thoughts arise and reclaim a life that feels worth living.

OCD
Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
OCD can leave us feeling trapped in cycles of doubt, worry, and the need for certainty. You may find yourself getting caught in repetitive thoughts, seeking reassurance, or feeling unable to move on until something feels "right." Therapy can help you develop a different relationship with uncertainty and feel more confident in your ability to navigate it.

OCD
Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
OCD is an incredibly isolating experience that often carries a heavy weight of shame and self-judgment. I want you to know right away that this is not your fault, and no one would ever choose to be stuck in a relentless cycle of intrusive thoughts and exhausting rituals just to feel briefly safe. I am deeply passionate about helping you break out of this mental prison. Using a direct, compassionate, and evidence-based approach, a core part of our work will involve Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Step-by-step, we will practice becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable. By integrating mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we will collaboratively face your fears without surrendering to the compulsions. We aren't trying to simply ignore the thoughts, we are working to strip away their power so you can finally experience true freedom.

OCD
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
OCD can feel consuming—thoughts, urges, or rituals may take up significant mental and emotional energy, often leaving you frustrated, anxious, or exhausted. You might find yourself stuck in patterns that feel uncontrollable, or constantly trying to prevent worst-case scenarios, even when they don’t make sense to others.
In therapy, I provide a compassionate space to understand how OCD shows up in your life and work with you on strategies to manage intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsions, and regain a sense of control. The goal is to help you live more freely and confidently, without being ruled by fear or ritual.

OCD
Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
I like to help clients let go of the need to control everything. Often the cost of preventing bad things from happening is greater than the cost of the bad things actually happening. I often use CBT to do structured work beginning with psychoeduction particularly around the causes of OCD and what is maintaining it. Then an examination of unhelpful thoughts specifically targeting the client's thoughts about the intrusive thoughts. Often followed by Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) where the client is aided in reducing compulsive behaviour.

OCD
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
OCD is often far more exhausting and misunderstood than many people realize. It is not just about being organized or liking things a certain way — it can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, mental rituals, shame, and the constant pressure of trying to find certainty, relief, or safety.
For many people, OCD can overlap with trauma, neurodivergence, nervous system dysregulation, or deeper patterns of fear and self-doubt.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in helping you better understand what may be happening beneath the surface while building awareness, reducing shame, and strengthening healthier ways of responding. Together, we work toward creating more freedom, flexibility, and self-trust rather than staying trapped in cycles that feel exhausting and hard to break.

5 Years Experience
Online in Toronto, ON Ontario (Online Only)
Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
