About Us
Who We Are
Hi, welcome to the Turning Point! We are a team of psychologists, psychotherapists, and counsellors but you can also call us OCD and Anxiety Warriors!
What We Do
We help people who wish they could live their lives to the fullest but hold themselves back because of worries, fears, or intrusive thoughts.
We support them in overcoming the obstacles to their best life so that they can progress toward their goals.
Why?
Many of us know from our own life journeys that overcoming fear, doubt, and inertia can be tough. We also know, however, from helping hundreds of patients (and counting!) that the courageous first step of seeking help may open the door to discovering your best self and bridging the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be.
Anxiety and OCD do not have to run your life! Everything you ever wanted is waiting for you on the other side of fear. That’s why we hope you give us a call and allow yourself to experience change.

It is often not easy to take that first step.
You may be looking at this website because you feel that you are finally ready to explore new ways of addressing your problem.
You may have considered seeking psychological treatment, but kept postponing making the call because you perceived it as a sign of weakness, were worried about being judged or misunderstood, or hoped that the issue would resolve on its own. Maybe you were ashamed because you experienced embarrassing intrusive thoughts. Or you may have sought therapy before but felt that it was not helpful.
Our goal is to create a comfortable and judgment-free environment for you to feel safe in. We understand that sometimes it may be difficult to share your fears, thoughts, or emotions with friends and family. They may have a hard time relating to your concerns, may rush straight into reassuring you that everything will be all right, or may feel uncomfortable not knowing what to say.
As therapists, we are trained to listen empathetically, ask questions, and not jump to conclusions. We understand that while we specialize in psychological treatment, YOU are the true expert in your life and your self. Therefore, we will work collaboratively with you to help you overcome difficulties and achieve your goals.
Our team participates in regular professional development activities including formal trainings, readings, supervisions, and workshops, while actively engaging in professional communities. We stay up to date on the latest gold-standard treatments and the nuances of therapy approaches for OCD and related disorders (BFRBs, such as trichotillomania (hair-pulling) and excoriation (skin-picking), body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), illness anxiety, and hoarding), as well as anxiety disorders (panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and phobias). We also engage in extensive preparation in between sessions to ensure high-quality and effective psychological treatment for clients.
Many of our therapists have had unique and complex life experiences and come from various backgrounds (living in foreign countries, changing career paths, going through major life transitions and losses, or overcoming significant emotional and physical difficulties). In fact, we take life experience into consideration when selecting new associates to join our team, along with their interpersonal skills, proficiency in evidence-based psychological treatment approaches, willingness to engage in ongoing continuing education, and, most importantly, the growth mindset.
Are you consumed by anxiety and worry?
Do you have intrusive thoughts, obsessions, or rituals that interfere with your life?
Do you feel stuck and unable to enjoy life?
Are you spending your days in an endless tug-of-war with your thoughts?
Have you tried therapy before and felt disheartened by the lack of results?
Let us help you get your life back! You do not have to continue letting your thoughts and feelings dictate your actions. We will work with you to develop skills to disentangle from your intrusive thoughts and reconnect to what is meaningful to you. We will help you take the power back from your OCD, unwanted intrusive thoughts, and anxiety.
