Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Toronto, ON

As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, through in-person or video counselling, I provide goal-oriented therapy (ERP, ACT, ICBT, MBCT) specializing in the areas of OCD & Anxiety (see IOCDF listing https://iocdf.org/providers/carman-gray-glenda/). My entire practice is devoted to the treatment of adults (18+) suffering with OCD, Anxiety, BFRBs & other related disorders. In therapy we work to better manage anxiety & feared and intrusive thoughts, strengthen coping skills, build self-esteem, reduce negative self talk, learn how to be self-compassionate, and address obsessive thoughts & compulsions/rituals.

Do you often find yourself trapped in the relentless grip of anxiety? Does social anxiety make even simple interactions feel like daunting hurdles? Are you familiar with the never-ending cycle of obsessions and compulsions brought on by OCD? Have irrational fears cast long shadows, consuming your thoughts when confronted with phobias? Do these moments leave you feeling overwhelmed and isolated? The weight of anxiety can be immense, but you don't have to bear it alone. I recognize the unique struggles anxiety presents and am here to journey alongside you, offering unwavering support.

My name is Dr. Katie Stewart and I am a registered clinical psychologist. My area of expertise is in assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, PTSD and trauma-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism, and depression. I also work with people who are experiencing general life stress and anxiety and who need support. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and walks of life and aim to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you feel understood and validated. I love helping people face their fears and find an inner strength they didn't know they had.

My therapeutic orientation is primarily cognitive behavioural. My approach to therapy is collaborative and supportive, with a focus on creating a safe environment for therapeutic change and combining client strengths with evidence-based treatment principles. Specifically, I specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and mindfulness and acceptance-based treatment approaches (MBCT, ACT).

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and offer short- and long-term psychotherapy for individuals coping with anxiety, OCD, trauma, interpersonal problems, depression, and many other issues. My PhD in Clinical Psychology from Stony Brook University, New York, has well prepared me to offer evidence-based treatments for a wide range of mental health concerns. Prior to coming to Toronto, I worked as a Clinical Psychologist in New York where I continue to hold licensure.

Choosing the right therapist is a big deal. Just like a travel partner will impact the experiences you have on your trip, your therapist will impact how your mental health journey unfolds. I commend you for making this important decision thoughtfully. To tell you a bit about myself, I am a psychologist working with adults facing a variety of life struggles including trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, perfectionism, shame, health issues and life transitions. I am grateful to have received training in a range of modalities including mindfulness, compassion focused, emotion focused, CBT and psychodynamic therapies.

I am a registered clinical psychologist. I currently work in private practice but have previously worked in University counseling centres, and inpatient and outpatient hospital-based treatment programs.

Specializing in anxiety and OCD symptoms! Do you feel stuck in your anxiety? Are intrusive thoughts or memories disturbing you? Maybe you've tried many ways to cope but you haven't found anything that feels very effective in the long-term. Perhaps your anxiety is also affecting your ability to be present and to function in the ways that you would like to in your relationships, work, or school life. If this is the case, do these issues then lead you to experiencing feelings of shame, wondering if there is something wrong with you, or questioning if things will ever get better?

Has your anxiety left you stuck in a relentless cycle of worrying, obsessing, and avoiding? Have you been suffering from panic attacks and fear having another one? Are you struggling with crippling shyness and feelings of insecurity? Do you find yourself obsessing about contamination, the well-being of yourself or others, your sexuality or relationships, or the sense of needing things to be “just right?” Do you find yourself desperately attempting to get rid of these thoughts and feelings? Are you ashamed of these thoughts and worry that they mean something about you? I want to assure you of one thing - you are NOT your thoughts.

I am deeply committed to creating a healing space where individuals can explore and navigate life’s challenges. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally-sensitive framework, recognizing the impact of diverse identities on mental health. Working collaboratively with both adults and teens, I offer support for a range of issues, from anxiety and depression, to Tourette’s and OCD, to the aftermath of trauma.

In addition to anxiety and depression, my specialty areas of focus are: 1. OCD (with its subtypes) and intrusive thoughts. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a core part of the work. 2. ADHD and executive function skills building, such as time management, focus, impulse control, emotion regulation and organization.

Does anxiety run your life? Are you always ready and waiting for the other shoe to drop? You fear that you won’t be able to cope and worry that you’ll lose control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Maybe you feel stuck in the past, haunted by painful experiences; churning over the same thoughts and images again and again. Imagine moving out of survival mode; being excited about life and feeling motivated by joy and not fear. Imagine being able to put the past behind you, and living fully in the present. You don't have to struggle alone. With compassion and authenticity, I am honoured to join you on your healing journey!

My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

Thank you for your interest. I am a registered clinical psychologist who provides Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to individuals who experience mood and anxiety issues (i.e. depression, panic, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder) as well as "OCD spectrum" disorders (e.g., hair pulling, skin picking). I value your time, and so my approach involves using evidence-based psychological treatments that have been found to be effective in the treatment of mood and anxiety. All sessions are online (not in person), for individuals living in Ontario, Canada.
