About Pothos Counselling and Consultation Services
Living a life where you're dealing with anxiety alongside symptoms of obsessions and compulsions can be quite scary. Navigating these experiences can become less intimidating when we gain an understanding of what we're going through and we have the support to take deliberate steps towards addressing it. There may be instances where those in your life don't fully understand what you are going through, leading you to keep your intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges to yourself. It's important to know that you're not alone, as these symptoms are more common than you might realize.
I specialize in offering adults (18+) evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, and I provide intensive OCD sessions to assist individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or uncertain while dealing with issues related to OCD, anxiety, and phobias. Sometimes, these challenges are intertwined with other difficult situations you're working through, such as recovering from traumatic experiences, managing social anxiety, or coping with panic attacks.
By providing thoughtful, collaborative services rooted in compassion, humility and respect, my hope is to help you build the confidence and the strategies to combat your inner critic in the face of personal and societal adversity. Reach out to Pothos today for a free phone consultation.
