Therapists in South Cambie, Vancouver, BC

At New Heights, we specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We are proud to say that we are Vancouver's only such Clinic. OCD is often recognized and treated as any other anxiety disorder resulting in treatment that is non-effective, and, at times, counter productive. Although OCD is an anxiety-based disorder, the treatment protocols are unique and highly specialized. It is our belief that OCD warrants its own specialty, and we are committed to providing evidence based therapy that reflects current research and best practice. We acknowledge the degree to which this condition is under-serviced and under-recognized amongst mental health professionals and the public mental health system.
