Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Toronto, ON

My practice specializes in helping people struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, obsessive behaviours, insomnia and other lifestyle concerns, interpersonal and intimate relationship challenges, and a sense of lack of meaning or purpose in life. I use an integral and person-centered approach, one which considers and values a person in all of their dimensions: mind, body, spirit, heart and culture.

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.

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.

My name is Dr. Katie Stewart and I am a registered clinical psychologist in supervised practice.

I also work with people who are experiencing general life stress and anxiety and who need support.

I especially love helping people to face their fears and find an inner strength they didn't know they had.

Are you struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or rituals you can't help but do? You might be experiencing distressing emotions, or trying to heal from a trauma or loss. I’m passionate about helping people overcome their struggles. Whether that’s feeling hopeless, stuck, lost, or overwhelmed, there are real tools that can help you move past these challenges.

Accepting new clients! I help teenagers and adults manage anxiety stemming from life transitions, work-life balance, 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.
