Specialized and Experienced Therapists

Our team consists of specialized therapists and counsellors with extensive experience in treating OCD. They possess in-depth knowledge of OCD and utilize evidence-based techniques, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to help individuals manage symptoms effectively.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We understand that OCD is a complex disorder that manifests differently in each individual. Our therapists create personalized treatment plans that address your unique challenges, triggers, and goals. We work collaboratively with you to develop strategies that promote long-term symptom management and overall well-being.

Virtual Therapy for Convenience

Our virtual therapy option allows you to receive therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Through secure and confidential video sessions, you can access treatment conveniently, eliminating concerns about travel or scheduling conflicts.

In-Person Therapy for Personalized Support

We offer in-person counselling services at our offices in Mississauga, Toronto, and Milton, and offer the convenience of home-visits across the GTA. In-person sessions provide a more immersive therapy experience, allowing for effective and personalized support for treating OCD.

Symptom Management and Reduction

OCD therapy focuses on symptom management and reduction by helping individuals develop effective strategies to challenge and control obsessions and compulsions. Therapists employ evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to gradually expose individuals to their fears and prevent the associated compulsive behaviours. Through therapy, individuals learn to better manage their symptoms and experience a reduction in distress.

Increased Understanding and Awareness

OCD therapy helps individuals develop a deeper understanding of their condition and its underlying mechanisms. Therapists provide psychoeducation about OCD, explaining the neurobiological and cognitive aspects of the disorder. By gaining insight into the nature of OCD, individuals can recognize their obsessions and compulsions for what they are, which reduces self-blame and fosters self-compassion.

Development of Coping Mechanisms

OCD therapy equips individuals with coping mechanisms to navigate OCD-related challenges. Therapists teach skills for managing anxiety, challenging intrusive thoughts, and resisting compulsions. These coping strategies may include relaxation techniques, thought restructuring, and problem-solving skills. By practicing and integrating these techniques into their daily lives, individuals can better manage OCD symptoms and improve their ability to cope with triggers.

Enhanced Quality of Life

OCD therapy significantly improves an individual's quality of life by helping them regain control and reduce the interference of OCD in their daily activities. As individuals learn to manage their symptoms and engage in meaningful activities without being overwhelmed by obsessions and compulsions, they can experience increased satisfaction, fulfillment, and a sense of normalcy in their lives.

Improved Relationships

OCD can strain relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. OCD therapy provides a space for individuals to explore and address the impact of OCD on their relationships. Therapists work with individuals to enhance communication skills, educate loved ones about OCD, and establish boundaries that support their recovery. By involving loved ones in the therapeutic process, individuals can strengthen their relationships and build a support system.

Reduction of Shame and Stigma

OCD therapy plays a crucial role in reducing shame and stigma associated with the disorder. Therapists provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where individuals can openly discuss their experiences without fear of being misunderstood or criticized. Through therapy, individuals realize that their thoughts and behaviours are a result of OCD and not a reflection of their character. This understanding helps reduce self-stigma and fosters self-acceptance.

Increased Self-Empowerment

OCD therapy empowers individuals to take an active role in managing their condition. Therapists work collaboratively with individuals to set treatment goals, develop strategies, and make progress towards recovery. Through therapy, individuals learn to challenge and question their OCD-related beliefs and engage in behaviours that align with their values and aspirations. This increased sense of self-empowerment fosters confidence and autonomy.

Relapse Prevention

We equip you with tools and techniques to prevent relapse and maintain progress even after therapy. Our therapists provide ongoing support, helping you identify potential triggers and develop strategies to manage any setbacks effectively.

I am grateful to have had Shani be a resource and support during a difficult transition in my life. I had enough self-awareness to google 'therapy' and Hatch-Me came up. It was the reviews that led me to finally submit a request to connect with someone, and I met Shani. I understand why he encourages his patients, once we are in a better headspace, to share our experiences here in order to potentially attract other souls searching for support. There is no pressure, but an understanding of how reviews drive awareness - I am here for it. If you are looking for some guidance, support, or a path to a better headspace, I encourage you to check HM out and meet with anyone on the team. Shani - you are an angel. You provided appropriate therapeutic support and relevant guidance to me during a dark time in my life. Your dedication is unparalleled. You are so accommodating, work around my timings, when I'm late, hungry or when I am in a situation where I need a call or text - you do your best to be there, and you are. It tells me that you actually care about me, my wellbeing, and you want to see me thrive. I hope I am fortunate enough to know you forever. I can assure you I will continue to visit HM whenever I need to kick my negative thoughts in the 'behind'and focus on budling the life I know I deserve because, I Love myself enough to try a little more each day. Thank you for that. From my experience, Shani is patient, but he will also confront your thought patterns when needed. He will support you with reassurance and also challenge you to move outside of a comfort zone. He will be clear and forthright about what one needs to do (unique to them) for overall health and wellbeing. If you care and love yourself enough to want to make some positive changes in your headspace, I encourage you to make an appointment. I can assure you, you won't regret it. Thank you again Hatch-Me and Thank you always Shani. Love, an exposed Gill.

The best therapists around. My entire family has felt heard and supported. Shani is the best therapist/guide we’ve ever had. Other therapist are full of themselves and the advice they give is right off of google. Shani is direct and the way he breaks concepts down is just brilliant. We found our therapist for life.

When you’re in a big city, it’s hard to find services that are incredibly professional, custom tailored to your needs AND leave you feeling hopeful. Hatch-Me’s approach to their services are heart-centred and personable, with exceptionally prompt and clear communication. Cassidy is a gem. Walk in with some trepidation and walk out feeling so very loved and cared for. My first ever cuddle session healed layers of my heart, gave me space to speak my truth about past hurt, and was welcomed by a compassionate and empathetic soul who gave me the confidence to continue healing myself. I am deeply grateful, thank you.
