Welcome to OCD North!

About Us

Discover the story behind OCD North.

Merrisa Little founded OCD North to address gaps in the mental health care system. OCD affects 1-3% of the population, but very few mental health professionals in Canada specialize in the disorder. Clients have difficulty finding OCD experts and many mental health clinicians have a difficult time implementing ERP protocol.
