You are not alone in this

Living with OCD or anxiety
can feel exhausting
and isolating.

The thoughts you can't shake. The worry that follows you everywhere. The rituals that eat hours out of your day. Many people carry this for a long time before reaching out for support — and that makes sense.

At PeaceView, we use treatments that are specifically designed for OCD and anxiety, including ERP, ACT, and CFT. And while these are our areas of depth, we work with a range of presenting concerns and welcome you to reach out regardless of where you're starting from.

Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to figure it out alone. That's what we're here for.

"The thoughts won't stop, no matter what I do to push them away."

"I'm spending hours on rituals just to get through the day."

"The 'what ifs' spiral so fast I can't think clearly anymore."

"Anxiety has been making my world feel smaller and smaller."

What shapes the way we work

A few things that are important to us and that inform everything we do at PeaceView.

Depth in OCD & Anxiety

Our therapists bring significant training and experience in OCD and anxiety treatment — while also working with a range of other presenting concerns and life challenges.

Compassion First

Warm, non-judgmental care. We know how difficult it is to reach out, and we want every interaction — from the first message to the last session — to feel genuinely safe.

Evidence-Based Practice

ERP, ACT, CFT, DBT — approaches with a strong research foundation. We stay current with the literature and use methods we can stand behind.

Culturally Responsive

We aim to honour the full context of each person's life — including cultural background, identity, and lived experience — as an integral part of the therapeutic relationship.

Skills That Transfer

We want you to leave sessions with something tangible — tools and understanding you can actually use between appointments, not just insights that fade by the next week.

Genuine Collaboration

You are the expert on your own experience. We bring clinical knowledge and structure. Therapy, at its best, is a real partnership — not something done to you.

A note on fees & insurance

We know that cost is a real consideration when it comes to accessing therapy, and we'd rather be upfront about it than leave you guessing.

Many extended health benefit plans include coverage for Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW). We provide receipts after every session so you can submit to your plan.

Please check with your benefits provider about coverage under those designations, and don't hesitate to reach out with questions.

Insurance Receipts Provided

Professional receipts issued after every session for benefits submission.

IFHP Coverage for Refugee Claimants

70% of costs covered by IFHP as of May 1, 2026. A 30% copayment applies.

Your first 15-minute consultation is free — no payment required and no obligation to proceed.

Things people ask before booking

We'd rather answer these upfront so nothing feels like an obstacle.

What is ERP and what does it actually involve? +
ERP stands for Exposure and Response Prevention — the most well-researched approach for OCD. It involves gradually and safely engaging with feared situations while resisting compulsive responses, at a pace you and your therapist agree on together. It's challenging work, but many people find it to be genuinely freeing over time. Your therapist will walk you through what to expect before you begin anything.
What happens in the free 15-minute consultation? +
It's a conversation — not an intake, not a commitment. You share a bit about what's brought you here, ask any questions you have, and get a feel for whether working together seems right. There's no pressure to continue, and the consultation is genuinely free with no payment required beforehand.
Do you only work with OCD and anxiety? +
OCD and anxiety are our primary areas of focus and depth of training. That said, our therapists work with a range of presenting concerns — including depression, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and more. If you're not sure whether we're the right fit for what you're working on, just reach out and we'll be honest with you.
Do you offer virtual therapy across Ontario? +
Yes. Virtual sessions are available to clients anywhere in Ontario via secure, confidential video. Research consistently shows virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person for many concerns — and the flexibility tends to make it easier to show up consistently, which matters a lot.
Is therapy covered by insurance? +
Many extended health benefit plans include coverage for Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW) — the designations our therapists hold. We provide receipts after every session for benefits submission. We'd recommend checking your plan under those specific designations. For refugee claimants, IFHP covers 70% of costs as of May 2026, with a 30% copayment applying.
What if I'm not sure which therapist to book with? +
That's completely okay. You can read more about each therapist on our team page, or email us at info@peaceviewcounselling.ca and we'll help you think through who might be the best fit based on what you're looking for. Fit is important, and we want you to find the right person — not just the nearest available one.
How long does therapy typically take? +
It varies considerably depending on the person, the presenting concern, and what you're hoping to work toward. Some people benefit from a shorter, more focused course of therapy; others prefer ongoing support over a longer period. Your therapist will discuss this with you during the early sessions and review it regularly as you progress. We won't keep you in therapy longer than is useful.
Take a First Step

You don't have to have it
all figured out to reach out.

Whether you know exactly what you're looking for or you're not quite sure yet — a free 15-minute consultation is a low-pressure place to start. We'll listen, answer your questions honestly, and go from there.
