Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Winnipeg, MB

My name is Recene Valgardson and I am an Indigenous mental health therapist. My goal is to provide a holistic, person-centered, anti-oppressive approach to counselling that is culturally safe and accessible. I believe that every person is the expert in their own lives, and I feel honored to be a part of their journey. In providing therapy my number one goal is to ensure folks feel validated and supported to allow for space for processing and healing.

Living with OCD or anxiety can be scary and overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. With my expertise and dedication, we can work together to help you take back control from the OCD. I help individuals and their family members stop engaging in compulsive behaviors and reduce the impact that intrusive thoughts have in their daily life.

You may come to therapy for relief from depression, anxiety, fear or other stressors. Maybe you want to get to know yourself better, change patterns that are not working for you, or because you aspire to grow and be a better version of yourself. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to navigate your way through life transitions, separation, doubt, difficult choices, pain, trauma, stress, relationships or important life events such as marriage or the birth of a child. I hold a place for you to find your voice, explore options, invite different perspectives, discover your purpose and feel empowered.

Are you struggling with obsessions causing intrusive ideas, urges, images, or thoughts that are unwanted and may cause guilt, shame or worry? Engaging in actions in order reduce the upsetting feelings or to prevent something bad from happening? Do you require family members to accommodate or participate in the compulsion? OCD can cause you to feel stuck and worrying about the "what if's". I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) which has been found to have the most strong effect on the successful outcome of treatment for OCD.

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.
