We are living in a time of uncertainty. In a matter of days our kids have been pulled out of school, we have been told to work from home and childcare centres have closed. Our routines have been shattered and we are trying to find a new normal amid all the change.
Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) at OCD North has also changed: to protect our community, clients and staff we are now providing our usual sessions through telehealth. It is different, but we think this shift is great for treatment.
Telehealth is individual, family and group therapy via online methods such as mobile apps and video conferencing. At OCD North we use a platform called Zoom.
In the OCD context, telehealth is a valuable tool. It allows the therapist to assess symptoms more thoroughly in the client’s home environment while also easily incorporating family and spouses – a vital component to effective treatment outcomes.
Telehealth allows us to educate family members, support them in the do’s and don’ts of supporting their loved one with OCD, and provides real-time help and coaching to families.
Convenience is key with telehealth too: we can meet clients in various settings to help them with exposures at no additional cost and no additional time!
Prior to your session, we will send you an invitation to the Zoom meeting via email. Please make sure that you check your junk mail if you have not received it at least 2 hours before your scheduled session.
We suggest getting your Zoom set up minimum of 15 minutes before your first Telehealth session.

We suggest getting your Zoom set up minimum of 15 minutes before your first Telehealth session.
After the initial setup Zoom is ready to go and just requires the meeting ID and password.
