OCD Therapy in Victoria & Langford, BC
OCD Therapy in Victoria & Langford, BC | Balance From Within
Specialized OCD therapy in Victoria and Langford BC with Priscilla Dudas. Compassionate, evidence-based support for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder using CBT, ERP, IFS, and EMDR. Reduce intrusive thoughts and compulsions.
WHAT IS OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER
Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel exhausting and overwhelming. Intrusive thoughts, unwanted obsessions, and the urge to perform compulsions can take over daily life, creating cycles of anxiety and temporary relief that ultimately reinforce the disorder.
At Balance From Within Psychotherapy and Consulting Ltd., we offer compassionate, evidence-based OCD therapy to help you break free from these patterns. Priscilla Dudas provides a safe, non-judgmental space where you can understand your OCD, reduce its power, and reclaim balance and freedom in your life.
How Therapy Can Help
Effective OCD treatment focuses on reducing the intensity and frequency of obsessions and compulsions while building long-term coping skills. We support individuals experiencing:
-
Contamination obsessions and cleaning/washing compulsions
-
Harm, checking, or doubt obsessions (e.g., repeatedly checking locks, appliances, or decisions)
-
Intrusive thoughts related to harm, sexuality, religion, or relationships (ROCD)
-
Symmetry, ordering, or “just right” obsessions
-
Pure O (Primarily Obsessional OCD) — intrusive thoughts without obvious compulsions
-
Perfectionism and scrupulosity
-
Co-occurring anxiety, trauma, or depression that often accompanies OCD
Our Therapeutic Approaches for OCD
Priscilla uses proven, evidence-based methods tailored to your specific OCD presentation:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — The gold-standard treatment for OCD. Gradually face fears while resisting compulsions.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) — Understand and heal the inner “parts” that fuel obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours with compassion.
-
EMDR Therapy — Especially helpful when OCD is linked to past trauma or distressing experiences.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) elements — Learn to observe thoughts without being controlled by them.
-
Integrative & Mindfulness-Based Approaches — Build long-term resilience and self-compassion.
What to Expect in OCD Therapy
In the first session, Priscilla will listen to your experiences, assess your symptoms, and collaborate with you on clear, realistic goals. Therapy is collaborative and paced at your comfort level — there is no pressure to jump into exposures immediately.
Sessions are typically 50–60 minutes (longer sessions available) and can be held:
-
In-person in Victoria
