Do you suffer from unwanted

Perhaps you fear that you will become contaminated or that you will be responsible for a tragedy. Do you wash your hands excessively or check things like door locks or the stove? Or do you avoid things like knives, public restrooms, or anything that might trigger your fearful thoughts? Do you find that your

Lauren Wood
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Verified
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) are key elements of effective
OCD
treatment.
Many of us have not been provided the proper tools for managing difficult emotions. Without these tools, we become easily overwhelmed and act in ways that are detrimental to our overall wellbeing. I believe there is tremendous value in helping people recognize and understand their emotions, as this is the first step to learning to cope more effectively when feeling distressed and hopeless. While my practice caters to clients experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, I do specialize in the treatment of
Obsessive
-Compulsive Disorder (
OCD
).

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.
