Jenny Peetoom
Psychologist, MC, RPsych
Verified
I focus my work in anxiety (all kinds) and compulsive disorders (
OCD
, BDD, Trichotillomania).
It can be hard to step into life the way you want when struggling with painful thoughts, emotions, or experiences. Asking for help takes courage and I work hard to provide a safe and authentic space to support you. I am passionate about working with people who feel hijacked by their thoughts and emotions, and with couples who are finding it difficult to feel securely connected. In therapy we work collaboratively so that you can gain new insight, experience peace, and find creative, workable ways to tackle difficult behavioural, emotional, or interpersonal problems.

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.

Alissa Priolo
Registered Provisional Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I believe that when young people feel seen and heard, anything is possible! Working with anxiety,
OCD
, ADHD, medical trauma, and identity exploration are my speciality.
We have all experienced a time when things just suck! The impact of living with medical or mental health conditions; being marginalized or stigmatized; or simply trying to navigate life can lead to heightened levels of stress and anxiety. This continuous state of fight or flight responses may result in meltdowns, avoidance, and risk taking behaviours. Without feeling safe, many children and youth get stuck within their own body and mind. That is why I aim to help young people find safety and connection within a society that does not always support diversity or pursuing life outside the “standard box.”

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.
