OCD
Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a compassionate approach to supporting clients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), blending a range of therapeutic techniques to suit each individual's journey. Through the use of holistic strategies such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we tackle the complexities of OCD together. This integrative method allows us to address both the obsessive thoughts and the compulsive actions, working towards managing symptoms and reducing their impact on daily life. By emphasizing personal growth and self-awareness, we explore strategies for coping with anxiety, enhancing decision-making, and improving overall mental well-being. My role is to walk alongside you, providing the tools and guidance needed to navigate OCD, aiming to empower you with the strength and resilience to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) reveals a complex interplay between intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, and past relational experiences. Originating from the structure of attachment ties, OCD may appear as a coping strategy to reduce stress and restore control when faced with imagined dangers. Trauma, whether explicit or implicit, can exacerbate these symptoms, deepening the sense of distress and amplifying the need for ritualistic behaviours. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for exploration, providing a safe space to unpack the underlying attachment dynamics and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering self-compassion and addressing the root causes of distress, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of OCD, reclaiming agency over their thoughts and behaviours, and forging a path towards healing and resilience.
