Hey there! Welcome :) I specialize in the very big spectrum of disordered eating/ED and related issues. Perhaps you have consuming thoughts about what your look like or what you ate (or didn't eat, or can't eat, or when you can eat...)? Maybe you're tired of being stuck counting calories, body checking, and not feeling great about yourself? These things can take up a lot of thought time and be emotionally painful and I suspect you will know exactly what I mean by that. So, if your looking for a new perspectives and hoping to get some mind space back and feel better you're in the right spot.

Linda Morrell
Psychologist, MC
Verified
I have extensive training treating
Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder.
People are often at a point in life where they realize that change needs to occur in order to promote psychological well being. I work with clients to identify their unique skills and facilitate change at their own pace. I offer services to children, teens, adults, and the elderly.
The statement that drives my life view is: "Life is colourful and constantly changing." Nature appears to attest to this philosophy as well with the four seasons of colors and changes. With every season, life (and death) ebbs and flows, always towards what is to come...whatever that may be.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviours that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions). It affects children, kids, teens and adults. Often the person carries out the behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts, but this only provides temporary relief. Not performing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety. A person's level of OCD can be anywhere from mild to severe, but if severe and left untreated, it can destroy a person's capacity to function at work, at school or even to lead a comfortable existence in the home.
