OCD is an insidious disorder that it often attaches itself to those things that are most valued by an individual.
At New Heights, we specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We are proud to say that we are Vancouver's only such Clinic. OCD is often recognized and treated as any other anxiety disorder resulting in treatment that is non-effective, and, at times, counter productive. Although OCD is an anxiety-based disorder, the treatment protocols are unique and highly specialized. It is our belief that OCD warrants its own specialty, and we are committed to providing evidence based therapy that reflects current research and best practice. We acknowledge the degree to which this condition is under-serviced and under-recognized amongst mental health professionals and the public mental health system.

I have worked with a diverse range of presenting issues within the school system and non-profit organizations, some include: anxiety, depression, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, eating disorders, perfectionism, burnout, and childhood trauma.
Hi! I'm Dominique. Life can get tricky and I understand that speaking to someone about it may be difficult. Finding the right words to describe how you feel or what you have experienced can be challenging, and it should not be something that one should have to experience on their own. With my understanding that each individual has their own unique story and experiences, I tend to take a person-centered in counselling in which I alter my clinical skills to fit the needs and preferences of my client. I am attentive to each client's biological, environmental, and social factors and consider them when applying therapeutic approaches.

I believe that the experiences we have in our inner and outer world teach us something about the world, ourselves, and others; and they contribute to the forming of often unconscious patterns in the way we think, feel, and act. These experiences can even be stored in the body/nervous system, otherwise known as trauma. In other words, our experiences help create a “map” that show us how to navigate uncertainty, relationships with others, and relationships with our selves. I believe that people come to therapy when those 'maps' are no longer working and need updating. That's where I come in!

There are many times in one person's life where one seeks support and information with resolving personal and psychological difficulties. Seeking counselling at this time will help break isolation and improve coping more effectively and quickly. Finding a good fit with someone is important to the success of the journey. I am trained in Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) where a client directs the counselling relationship by the feedback they provide. I believe in the right FIT and relationship between client and counsellor to be of great importance in helping a client in counselling.

Entering counselling is an exciting and brave step towards overcoming life’s challenges. As both a clinician and client, I’ve noticed that as people we tend to enter counselling when we are feeling stuck, uncertain, or when we need help figuring out how to best move forward. My hope is that you feel safe and supported as we explore what life has to offer. My counselling approach balances a recognition and acceptance of how things are, with striving for change. As we look at the space between your current situation, and how you’d like your life to be, we will create a roadmap for our work together.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors

How long does OCD treatment take?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.

What happens if OCD is not treated?

Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.

Are there medications for OCD?

Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.

Can OCD come back after treatment?

Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
