OCD
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.

OCD
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.

Whitby is a Durham Region community east of Toronto, notably home to Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, one of Ontario's largest dedicated mental health hospitals, which reflects the significance of mental health as a local concern and provides specialized inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services that make the area an important hub for mental health care in the eastern Greater Toronto Area. The city has grown rapidly as a commuter community for Toronto, with GO Transit service making the journey manageable, and the pressures of long commutes and the costs of homeownership are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. A private therapy sector serves those seeking outpatient counselling, and the presence of Ontario Shores means that more intensive mental health needs can be addressed locally rather than requiring travel to Toronto. Common therapy concerns include commuter and work-life stress, family and parenting pressures, anxiety, and the transition challenges of a rapidly growing community.
