Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Change. Do you have the feeling that something has to change… but you’re just not sure what it is? Or you have a good idea what and where you want to be… but just don’t know what changes to make to get there? Are you struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety? Or are obsessions and compulsions ruling your life? Are your relationships – intimate, family, work – suffering? And are you ready to take that first step… towards change?

Reaching out for help can be uncomfortable and intimidating, but an important step in leading a more fulfilling life. I’m a warm and compassionate registered psychologist (registration number 2216) with over 8 years of clinical experience helping people from diverse backgrounds overcome anxiety and depression. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and respectful space for clients to explore and work through their challenges.

Welcome! My name is Michael. If you're coping with anxiety, OCD , or trauma, I can support you in finding relief. I grew up in Vancouver, where I struggled with depression and low self-worth throughout my adolescence and early adulthood. Driven to seek solutions, I spent years studying Zen meditation in Japan and plant medicine in Peru. Through those experiences I learned that there is not one miracle cure, but an array of skills and practices we can harness to cultivate our health and wellbeing.

We all have the potential to make meaningful changes to lead the lives we desire.  I specialize in helping adults with concerns such as obsessions and/or compulsions, chronic worrying, social anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, perfectionism, and body-focused repetitive behaviours (e.g., hair-pulling, skin-picking). I greatly enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life. My therapeutic style is sincere and unassuming. I bring compassion to each session as I work collaboratively with my clients to explore difficult issues.

While stress, anxiety, sadness, health problems, and relationship conflicts are a common part of life, if they're interfering with work, school, family, relationships, or other areas of your life that are important to you, you may benefit from therapy. My clients experience a range of difficulties from anxiety disorders, OCD , PTSD, depression, substance or impulse control issues, chronic pain or health problems, and high-conflict relationships. The thing they all have in common is they feel like their emotions, behaviours, or past experiences have prevented them from living the fullest, most meaningful life possible.

I am a Registered Psychologist and director of Wise Mind Centre, a Vancouver-based service that provides primarily cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and comprehensive dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to adolescents and adult clients and their loved ones. I work with clients who struggle with a variety of psychological problems, including anxiety, OCD , stress, depression, substance use, life transitions, parenting difficulties, self-harm behavior, suicidal ideations, PTSD, interpersonal difficulties, emotion regulation difficulties, and borderline personality disorder. My service could be offered in both English and Chinese.

I am a registered psychologist practicing in clinical psychology. My practice focuses on assessment and therapy for anxiety, OCD , stress, posttraumatic stress, habit disorders, and depression in adults, using CBT, ACT, and other evidence-based approaches. I enjoy helping clients take practical and active approaches to their problems, learn ways to handle difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively, and have richer and more rewarding lives.

I have a PhD in Clinical & Counselling Psychology and am currently applying for registration as a Registered Psychologist in BC. My private practice work focuses on obsessive -compulsive disorder ( OCD ) and related concerns. If you are experiencing intrusive or obsessive thoughts related to contamination, accidents or violence, sex, identity, morality, religion, health/illness, checking, repeating, counting, "just right" feelings, or other types of troubling thoughts and behaviours, I'm here to help. I also offer treatment for phobias, panic attacks, and health anxiety, as well as social anxiety, perfectionism, and depression.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues? I am here to help you. I primarily offer therapy via videoconference or telephone to adults living in British Columbia.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with anxiety and OCD , BPD, addictions, and depression. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

I am a Registered Psychologist with a PhD from the University of British Columbia. I have been in mental health practice for over 20 years. During this time, I have helped patients presenting with a large variety of issues through difficult periods in their lives. By providing clarity, hope and practical help to people, I have been able to shift lives in a positive direction. As a Scientist-Practitioner, I am dedicated to evidence-based therapy. I keep abreast of recent advances in the scientific literature and regularly update my training so I can offer treatments that really help.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with expertise in the delivery of scientifically-supported treatments for obsessive compulsive and related disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, as well as a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems. I have worked with clients in both outpatient and inpatient hospital settings and currently oversee clinical services within a hospital setting as well. My practice, Forward Thinking Psychological Services, provides clients with the skills and tools they need to move ahead in their lives and achieve their goals, despite the distress they may experience.

Welcome! I am a PhD trained Clinical Psychologist. Areas of expertise are OCD , anxiety (panic, phobias, social, generalized), health fears/illness anxiety, and somatic distress.

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.

Welcome! My name is Jordana. I am here to help you navigate the challenges that prompted you to seek counseling. I am passionate about working with clients with Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ( OCD ), and Burnout. I also work with High Performance Individuals, including athletes and performing artists.

I work with all sorts of people, but 2SLGBTQ+ issues and the challenges of being queer in a majority heterosexual world are often the centre of conversation. I focus on helping people to understand and express their identity in the context of the intersection between 2SLGBTQ+ issues and the mental health struggles that accompany this journey, such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive -compulsive disorder. Many people in and out of the 2SLGBTQ+ community are struggling with anxious or intrusive thoughts, dealing with family rejection or loss, and experiencing depression. It's time to take control of our identities.

Most of my clients struggle with Obsessive -Compulsive Disorder ( OCD ), Anxiety and/or Depression. Often times, their day-to-day activities suffer due to the implications of these challenges. Their relationships, professional goals, and personal aspirations seem difficult to realize. Their primary goal is to live purposeful, happy lives alongside OCD , Depression, and/or Anxiety. They wish to manage the impact of these challenging mental health problems and feel empowered.
