How family members respond to OCD matters. Here’s why:

* Giving into OCD demands = worsening symptoms
* Doing things on behalf of your loved ones = worsening symptoms
* Helping your loved one avoid OCD triggers = worsening symptoms

Worsening symptoms = longer duration of illness

As Pride Month winds down, we’re holding space for all the emotions it may bring...joy, exhaustion, pride, grief, hope.

Healing from OCD doesn’t mean setting parts of yourself aside. In fact, the most meaningful healing happens when your whole self is welcomed.

If you're living with OCD and looking for affirming, informed care, we're here. 🌈💙💛

Feeling safe to be yourself in therapy should never be a concern. However, the LGBTQIA+ community experiences higher rates of stigma, discrimination, and non-affirming care within mental health services, contributing to feelings of mistrust and avoidance of treatment. Our therapists are deeply committed to providing care that is affirming, evidence-informed, and grounded in compassion and expertise. 💙

Welcome to OCD North

Welcome to the clinic! I'm glad you're here. If you're reading this you either suffer from Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder or supporting someone who is. I'm Merrisa, and I'm here to help.

Throughout my education, practicums, and work experience, I knew I never wanted to become a generalist.
