Grounded Minds Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you're constantly battling anxiety, repetitive intrusive thoughts and doubt, you're not alone. You may have found that pushing away distressing thoughts or urges only works for a short time. At Grounded Minds, we know how awful OCD can be. OCD is a vicious cycle that can be incredibly difficult to break out of, but we're here to help. OCD doesn't have to be something that you just get used to dealing with- we can help you learn how to manage uncertainty, reduce distress and limit compulsions. Our approach is gentle and relationship-focused. Together, we may work on taking the power away from intrusive thoughts and worries, stop compulsive rituals, or learn how to manage doubt. Our therapists offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the leading treatment for OCD. Let's work together to kick OCD out of the driver's seat. Please reach out to schedule a therapy session or free fifteen minute consultation call.

Denisa Zitnansky Caceres
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
When you experience unwanted or intrusive thoughts that trigger anxiety, disgust, guilt or shame, you might be trying to distract yourself to avoid the thought, try to explore/analyze the thought, or do things to make the thought go away or at least quiet them down even if just for a moment. However, they just keep coming back. If unwanted thoughts are taking over your life, therapy can help you to work on reclaiming your mind and life.

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.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
OCD is a self taught coping strategy (ex. Only If I check the door 3 times, it’s closed). Understanding the root cause of the anxiety that’s fuelling the behaviour is transformative because it brings awareness to the situation.
