Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Change. Do you have the feeling that something has to change… but you’re just not sure what it is? Or you have a good idea what and where you want to be… but just don’t know what changes to make to get there? Are you struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety? Or are obsessions and compulsions ruling your life? Are your relationships – intimate, family, work – suffering? And are you ready to take that first step… towards change?

We all have the potential to make meaningful changes to lead the lives we desire.  I specialize in helping adults with concerns such as obsessions and/or compulsions, chronic worrying, social anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, perfectionism, and body-focused repetitive behaviours (e.g., hair-pulling, skin-picking). I greatly enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life. My therapeutic style is sincere and unassuming. I bring compassion to each session as I work collaboratively with my clients to explore difficult issues.

Welcome. I have over 25 years experience working with children, teens, and adults dealing with generalized and social anxiety, mood, ocd, perfectionism, self-doubt, body image, sport psychology, relationship and parenting challenges, workplace conflict. My approach is focused on creating a warm, safe space for clients to be able to share and process their feelings. Working from an attachment lens, I use a combination of insight psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and self-compassion techniques to help clients change unhelpful beliefs, thoughts, and feelings into new positive ways of being.

I am a Registered Psychologist and director of Wise Mind Centre, a Vancouver-based service that provides primarily cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and comprehensive dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to adolescents and adult clients and their loved ones. I work with clients who struggle with a variety of psychological problems, including anxiety, OCD, stress, depression, substance use, life transitions, parenting difficulties, self-harm behavior, suicidal ideations, PTSD, interpersonal difficulties, emotion regulation difficulties, and borderline personality disorder. My service could be offered in both English and Chinese.

Hello, I am a registered psychologist working online with adults across British Columbia. I provide evidence-based treatment for OCD, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to develop meaningful goals, teach practical skills, and provide empathetic support throughout the ups and downs of treatment. My clients say they value my authenticity and warmth, and I admire their bravery and determination to improve their lives.

While stress, anxiety, sadness, health problems, and relationship conflicts are a common part of life, if they're interfering with work, school, family, relationships, or other areas of your life that are important to you, you may benefit from therapy. My clients experience a range of difficulties from anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, depression, substance or impulse control issues, chronic pain or health problems, and high-conflict relationships. The thing they all have in common is they feel like their emotions, behaviours, or past experiences have prevented them from living the fullest, most meaningful life possible.

Do you feel like your thoughts have taken control of your life and you're left feeling overwhelmed without any breaks? My goal as your counsellor is to provide evidence based treatment to support you in meeting your goals so you're able to live the life you aspire to. I work with you to create meaningful and lasting change using a warm, collaborative, and client centered approach to ensure that treatment is tailored to your unique needs. I primarily utilize CBT in my counselling style, but will also pull from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention and Mindfulness.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with BPD (attachment trauma), anxiety and OCD, couples, and folks who have complex difficulties and may have received multiple diagnoses. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

Do you feel like sometimes you’re at the whims of your own mind? Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts, heavy emotions, or feeling overwhelmed and not in control of your life? I work with teens, pre-teens, and adults of all ages experiencing depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, and life transitions. I am particularly passionate about working with lgbtqia+ folks and helping explore issues of identity and belonging.

Having been a client myself, I know that counselling can be enormously transformative and rewarding. At the same time, I also understand that it can require incredible courage, which is why I consider it an honour and a privilege to hold space for those with whom I work. My approach emphasizes nonjudgment, empathy, and respect for all clients, as well as their sense of safety and genuine connection in the room. Many of these folks are seeking support as they navigate issues related to relationships, interpersonal conflict, masculinity, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Welcome, I'm Michael. I'm a Registered Social Worker and Therapist, with over a decade of experience in the field of mental health. If you are experiencing anxiety or OCD, I can support you in finding relief. I grew up in Vancouver, where I struggled with anxiety and depression throughout adolescence and early adulthood. Driven to seek solutions, I spent years studying meditation and plant medicine in Japan and Peru. Through those experiences, I learned that there is not one miracle cure, but an array of skills and practices we can harness to cultivate our health and wellbeing.

My patients face challenges such as OCD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. They seek to regain control over their lives, build resilience, and foster optimism using the latest effective and scientifically validated strategies. With a PhD from UBC and over 20 years of experience, I offer empathetic, research-informed, and practical help to support their journey toward well-being and personal growth.

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.
