Find an Obsessive- Compulsive (OCD) Therapist in Edmonton

OCD involves persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that create anxiety — often followed by repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) that temporarily reduce that discomfort. Over time, this cycle can take over your mental energy and make everyday tasks harder. Therapy helps you understand why the cycle happens and teaches you how to retrain your brain’s threat response so you can live with more freedom and calm.

We combine structure, education, and deep reconditioning. Using Pattern Theory™, we help you see how limiting beliefs — such as “I’m not safe unless I control everything” or “If I don’t do this, something bad will happen” — drive obsessive-compulsive loops. Through our Reconditioning process, we use guided imaginal exposure to help your brain unlearn those threat responses at their source, so triggers lose their emotional charge over time.

While we share some principles with ERP, our approach includes additional components that target the deeper cognitive and emotional patterns behind obsessions and compulsions. We combine exposure-based work with education, emotional regulation tools, and mindset reconditioning. This helps clients not only manage OCD symptoms but also understand and rewire the thought patterns that maintain them.

No — therapy is gradual and collaborative. We start by helping you understand what’s driving the compulsions before working toward reducing them. Your therapist will move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, teaching you to recognize triggers and change your responses over time. The goal is confidence and control, not overwhelm.
