Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most common and misunderstood mental health conditions that affect one in every 40 people worldwide. While it is typically shown to be a condition where people are obsessed with cleanliness and organization — there is a chasm of difference between being extra neat and having OCD. Additionally, there are forms of OCD that lead primarily to recurrent intrusive thoughts and beliefs.

Therapy is a very personalized endeavour so it is understandable that it is hard to make the right connection. Sometimes you might feel an immediate bond with a therapist, other times it may take a few sessions before you feel fully comfortable. However, if you aren't clicking with the therapist, we can help you find another one who will better meet your needs.
You will know the therapy is working when you notice a reduction in symptoms and find it easier to move toward your values and goals.
According to the American Psychological Association, around half of people who receive therapy benefit after 15 to 20 sessions. Some might see benefits sooner. Others may have more barriers and require more sessions to make a breakthrough.
Many people will continue therapy long after they start experiencing benefits because they will grow over time.
