Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
OCD is actually your way of coping with anxiety. You might not have knowingly chosen to become obsessive with your thoughts and compulsive in your actions. But your body is convinced doing the excessive acts will somehow make you less stressed. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Let me teach you new ways to cope with anxiety so that you can start changing how much time and energy your thoughts and behaviours are robbing from you.

Freedom & Hope Counselling and Therapeutic Services
Licensed Professional Counsellor, RPC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
People exhibiting symptoms of OCD often appear anxious and engage in repetitive behaviors such as checking, counting, ordering, and rearranging things in search of reassurance. Many have experienced these symptoms during stressful periods in their lives. The stress of initiating therapy may exacerbate these anxious behaviors. However, once a trusting connection is established, comfort levels rise, allowing for modeling healthy coping mechanisms within a supportive environment. The focus will center on the underlying trauma below it

OCD is an anxiety disorder that dominate the mind with obsessive thoughts and is often followed by compulsive behaviors.

OCD
Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Having Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be incredibly distressing. It involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing anxiety. These compulsions provide temporary relief but create a cycle of distressing obsessing thoughts and compulsive behaviors. The constant fear of something terrible happening if rituals are not performed can be paralyzing. Despite recognizing that these obsessions and compulsions are irrational and disruptive, individuals with OCD often feel powerless to stop them. Therapy, such as Narrative Therapy (NT), is used to explore their experiences, while lifestyle changes and mindfulness techniques can help manage symptoms. Internal Family Systems may also be employed to identify and address the roots of these behaviors. Each person's journey with OCD is unique, but an integrative and evidence-based approach can lead to a significant reduction or elimination of symptoms.

OCD
Maryam Abro
Psychologist, MC(Psych), Registered Provisional Psychologist
OCD can be overwhelming and life interfering. I help clients identify the subtype of OCD they are experiencing and specific strategies to cope with the related obsessions and compulsions, including exposure and response prevention. I also explore the origins of clients' OCD to see if a triggering experience needs to be healed to reduce or eliminate symptoms.
