Annette Poizner
Registered Social Worker, MSW, EdD, RSW
Verified
I analyze a set of your childhood memories/dreams you bring in to figure you out, understand potential root issues, then use EMDR and NLP to architect change. First, we identify personality style and inner-dynamics, then, the work. We consider various angles: nutrition, lifestyle factors and other variables. My work is technical. I deal with the gamut of problems but specialize in working with problems that have been unresponsive to conventional psychotherapy:
OCD
, Anorexia, etc.

,
OCD
, body-focused repetitive behaviours, binge eating).
Accepting new clients! I help teenagers and adults manage anxiety stemming from life transitions and trauma. Anxiety and past experiences should not define one's value or future, and we can make active changes to overcome these challenges. Many complain about how exhausting anxiety can be - but we don't have to resign to living like this forever. The way I see it, the goal of therapy is to both get to know yourself and your anxiety, but also to take back control to minimize its impact on relationships and academic or professional development.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviours that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions). It affects children, kids, teens and adults. Often the person carries out the behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts, but this only provides temporary relief. Not performing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety. A person's level of OCD can be anywhere from mild to severe, but if severe and left untreated, it can destroy a person's capacity to function at work, at school or even to lead a comfortable existence in the home.
