Hi, I’m Stephen, a therapist and trained OCD clinician specializing in OCD, anxiety, and related conditions. I was born and raised in South Africa and later moved to Victoria, BC, where I completed my Master of Counselling degree. My work is informed by both clinical training and my own experience with OCD, anxiety, and body dysmorphic disorder. I understand how overwhelming, scary, confusing, and exhausting these obsessive experiences can feel, and I aim to offer a space grounded in compassion, non-judgment, and real understanding. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, focused on helping you move toward your goals.
I primarily use ERP and ACT, the gold-standard treatments for OCD and anxiety. I also offer psychoeducation sessions for family members supporting a loved one with OCD or BDD. My clinical experience includes addiction, complex trauma, depression, relationship struggles, and shame.
Outside of work, I spend time with friends, watching movies, and being outdoors. You can also find me with Oreo, my clinical associate, who also happens to be a cat. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you take your next steps.
Take the first step to help. Stephen Thomas - West Coast OCD & Anxiety now
