Feel Your Way Therapy
Treatment Center, MA, RP
Living with OCD can feel exhausting — caught in cycles of intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and overwhelming anxiety. At Feel Your Way Therapy, we offer specialized, evidence-based support to help individuals manage OCD and regain a sense of control over their lives.
Our therapists use approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies to help you face fears, reduce compulsions, and build resilience against obsessive thinking.
We understand that OCD is more than just “being particular” — it’s a real, painful experience that deserves compassionate, skilled care. With the right support, it’s possible to break free from OCD’s hold and move toward a life guided by choice, not fear.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
OCD is a way of coping with deep anxiety and a need for control in a world that has felt unsafe. These patterns often develop early, when a sense of safety or emotional connection was missing, leading the mind to create order as a way to manage overwhelming internal experiences. In my work, we explore the underlying roots of these patterns with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment.

Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
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.

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.

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.
