Productive psychotherapy occurs within the context of a positive therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client, so often times the first one or two sessions are focused on a consultation to review the client’s concerns and for us to see if we are a good fit to work together. During this time, I will make recommendations for a treatment plan and will ask for the client’s feedback.

Veritas is Latin for truth, which is a central value in my therapeutic approach. People have a tendency to mask what they are actually experiencing, subscribing instead to behaviour dictated by social norms. Over time, suppressed emotional suffering manifests itself in disorders such as anxiety, explosive anger, panic attacks, addiction, and depression. While many modern therapies focus on treating surface symptoms (band-aid solutions), I believe in getting to the root of the suffering to help clients gain insight so that they can truly grow, heal, and flourish.

All of this is possible with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is the most evidence-based treatment for OCD.
Have you or a loved one struggled with OCD for a long time? Has the OCD either worsened or continued to significantly interfere with functioning in daily life? Being tormented by excessive thoughts that go against one’s personal values and attempting to stop, control or neutralize these thoughts with compulsive behaviours or mental rituals is the cycle of OCD. The good news is that breaking this cycle is possible. Common emotions that you are probably feeling are anxiety, distress, frustration, guilt, shame, depression, anger, and hopelessness. Please understand that you are not alone as OCD affects 2% of the entire population.

This might mean doing Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), doing what matters to you even when you feel ugly, exploring beliefs about possessions, or learning to sit with discomfort.
Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts? Do you have the urge to repeat certain behaviours until “it feels right”? Are you preoccupied and bothered by aspects of your appearance? Are there parts of your home that are too cluttered to use, yet you find it hard to get rid of anything? Do you struggle with body-focused repetitive behaviours like hair-pulling or skin-picking? If you are saying “yes” to any of these questions, you may be dealing with Obsessive-Compulsive and/or a Related Disorder (OCDRs), which includes Hoarding, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs).

Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviours that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioural therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioural change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
