Online Treatment for Children and Teens with OCD across Ontario
Have you noticed that your child seems to do certain behaviours over and over again? Or perhaps your child is spending excessive amounts of time washing their hands or reorganizing items around the house and you notice that they get upset when you try to stop them. You’re not alone; approximately 1 in every 100 Canadians will experience OCD in their lifetime (CPA, 2021)
At the Ontario-Wide Psychology Clinic (OWPC), we have child psychologists and social workers who are experienced in working with children and teens with OCD as well as their family members. Over the past few years our child/adolescent therapists have supported many families across Ontario (e.g., Ottawa, Hamilton, Oakville, Windsor, etc) through virtual care and can’t wait to get started with you!
How do we treat OCD?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be treated through therapy, medication, or a combination of both! At the Ontario-Wide Psychology Clinic (OWPC), we provide the following evidence-based therapies for OCD:
Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Parent-based interventions focused on reducing familial accommodation. While we may think that we’re helping a loved one by accommodating their OCD, research has shown that this actually maintains symptoms and that we need to reduce accommodations in order to help people overcome it.
Some great books for parents wanting to support a child/teen with OCD are:
