Do you...

Our team specializes in supporting individuals with anxiety disorders and OCD. With extensive training and experience, we welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Perhaps you've been to therapy before and just felt like it wasn't the best fit. You may have even really liked your therapist but you didn't see the changes you were after.

Our therapists are skilled experts in anxiety and OCD treatment and use the most up to date, evidence-based practices. At Grounded Minds, our mission is to help you feel understood and supported while also seeing a significant improvement in the symptoms that brought you here.

Do you spend too much time worrying about the future or dwelling in the past? Are your fears preventing you from taking steps forward? Are you consumed by doubt and overwhelmed by worry and unwanted, intrusive, uncontrollable thoughts? And the more you try to avoid or fight them, the stickier they become?

Let's work together to help you feel calmer, happier, and more like yourself.

I primarily work with OCD, anxiety disorders, BFRBs, trauma and body dysmorphia. I love helping people learn how to manage and overcome anxiety, worry, and OCD.

Anka's Approach

I foster a "zero judgement" environment and work collaboratively to help my clients navigate the issues that are bringing them to therapy. My approach is very flexible and person-centered. I am able to provide directive, manualized therapy or more open-ended talk therapy depending on your needs and goals. Struggling with OCD or anxiety can result in a lot of distress and shame, but there is a way through these uncomfortable emotions. Obsessions in OCD can vary widely. Regardless of the "theme," I have years of experience and training successfully helping people manage OCD.

Whatever brings you here, I am humbled by each opportunity to use my training and experience to help you reach your goals and live a fulfilling life. Let's work together to break the cycle of OCD, worry or anxiety.

I incorporate elements from the following evidence-based therapies in my practice: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention.

Whether you're feeling stuck, lost, or overwhelmed, there are effective tools to learn and steps to take that can move you forward. I am passionate about helping people overcome anxiety because I know first hand how challenging it can be to contend with on a daily basis. Your mental health doesn't have to control your life if you’re ready to put in some work.

Together, we will identify and practice meaningful strategies that will help you feel more like yourself. I know that coming to therapy and facing your fears is stressful, but you're not alone. I'll be here to support you every step of the way.

Montana's Approach

In therapy, we may focus on decreasing symptoms of OCD, skin picking or hair pulling. We could spend time building your tolerance to uncertainty or doubt. Perhaps our focus will be coping with the loss of a loved one. Maybe you're struggling with your sexuality or gender identity. Whatever it is, I'm here to help you accomplish your goals.

I believe therapy works best when the client and therapist collaborate to find a unique treatment plan that is tailored just for you. I work from a trauma-informed and culturally aware perspective and know my strengths are in helping you feel seen and supported while doing this incredible work.

I incorporate elements of the following evidence-based therapies in my practice: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic Therapy.

MSW, RSW | Clinic Owner

My goal is to provide a space where you can feel seen, heard and understood. Together, we will explore your symptoms and help you make sense of them. I'll introduce you to a variety of coping strategies that you can use in moments of anxiety as well as your day to day life.

Anxiety and OCD symptoms are awful, but you don't have to go through them alone. Over time, the tools you learn in therapy can help you feel more confident and less afraid. I love being a therapist because I get to help people just like you learn how to manage distressing emotions like anxiety.

Angie's Approach

I am a supportive and compassionate therapist. I enjoy helping people identify their needs, better understand their emotions, and learn meaningful coping strategies in a gentle, easy-going environment.

Working authentically and flexibly are some of my core values as a therapist. I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. What works best for you might not work best for someone else. Some folks thrive when doing this work in a structured, guided way. Other people prefer that we take a more exploratory, conversational approach. Some enjoy a mixture of both solution-focused and supportive counselling.

You are the expert on you. Shortly after beginning therapy, you'll likely get a sense of what's helpful and what's not so helpful. I value your input and strive to tailor my approach to best support you.

I incorporate elements from the following evidence-based therapies in my practice: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing.
