Virtual OCD Therapy in Kingston, Ontario
Find movement away from the spiral.
If you're looking for an OCD therapist, you're likely exhausted. Maybe you've spent years caught in cycles of intrusive thoughts, reassurance seeking, checking, researching, or trying to prove yourself. You may know your fears don't completely make sense, yet they still feel impossible to ignore.
At Cedar & Stone Somatic Psychotherapy, we provide virtual OCD therapy for adults across Ontario, including Kingston. My approach combines Brainspotting, somatic therapy, attachment-informed work, and evidence-based approaches to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and begin understanding the deeper patterns that keep you stuck.
One of the ideas that guides my work is this:
What if OCD isn't evidence that something is wrong with you—but that there is a part of you that has been working incredibly hard to protect you?
Many people have been taught to see OCD as something they need to fight against. Learning strategies to interrupt compulsions can be incredibly helpful AND many people continue feeling trapped because the deeper emotional roots remain untouched.
Together, we'll become curious about what your nervous system has been holding underneath the surface.
When we begin processing the experiences, emotions, and patterns underneath OCD, many people find they no longer engage in their compulsions. Instead of constantly battling yourself, there can be space for greater freedom, flexibility, and self-compassion.
Therapy that looks beneath the symptoms
My work is rooted in the understanding that healing isn't just about changing thoughts—it's about helping your nervous system feel safe enough that it no longer needs to work so hard to protect you.
Depending on your needs, therapy may include:
Brainspotting
Somatic psychotherapy
Attachment-focused approaches
Parts work
Nervous system regulation
Understanding the emotional roots of compulsions
Building new ways of relating to uncertainty
Every person's story is different. Therapy moves at your pace and is tailored to what feels most supportive for you.
Virtual therapy for Kingston residents
Although my practice is based in Hawkesbury, Ontario, I work virtually with adults throughout Ontario.
Many clients are surprised by how connected they feel during online therapy. Working from the comfort of your own space can often make it easier for your nervous system to settle, allowing for meaningful and effective therapeutic work.
Virtual sessions are secure, confidential, and designed to feel every bit as personal as meeting in person.
