Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

At Red Oak, we offer support for OCD and help individuals navigate the condition more effectively.

At Red Oak, our psychologists treat OCD by teaching their clients psychological strategies to manage their intrusive thoughts using evidence-based practices including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP).

  • OCD is a disorder characterized by persistent, unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to high levels of anxiety or discomfort, resulting in a strong urge to engage in repetitive behaviours (compulsions) aimed at reducing that anxiety.

    Common OCD themes include concerns about contamination, cleanliness, safety, and symmetry.
