Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Mississauga, ON

I am passionate about my role as a therapist. With Psychotherapy, I help clients understand and explore how their unhelpful thoughts, moods and behaviours keep them stuck. I help clients identify patterns of thinking and behaviours that are unhealthy and that keep them experiencing distress in their lives. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which is highly effective in dealing with depression and the broad spectrum of anxiety disorders. Anxiety is usually about future worries often associated with physical symptoms and depression is usually about some past events/regrets & feelings of hopeless and helplessness.

I offer individual and couples counselling for a variety of issues using a collaborative approach, within a judgement free environment. The majority of my experience revolves around using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness based approaches, and Existential Therapy. I am also most familiar with mental health issues regarding anxiety, depression, stress, postpartum issues, obsessive compulsive tendencies, and self-esteem.

Things happen. It is easy to get overwhelmed. Panic attacks, flashbacks, sadness and feelings of uncomfortable tension might become a part of everyday existence. Our attempts at coping help at first, then end up by compounding the pain. Worry, procrastination, excessive defensiveness, addictions or even perfectionism, are all examples of initially helpful coping strategies that backfire over time. We might worry about our problems daily, and yet remain unable to face them. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) can help make sense of things.
