Bellwood Health Services
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Program
Toronto’s premier OCD treatment clinic in partnership with Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Bellwood is proud to partner with Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre’s Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre to offer our intensive live-in treatment program. This partnership combines unparalleled expertise with a safe, comfortable environment for healing.
Our highly skilled medical team – made up of doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, and other mental health experts – employs evidence-based treatments to help you live a life unhindered by OCD. This flexible program is available in inpatient, and outpatient formats and is customizable to meet your unique needs.
Bellwood’s Approach to Treating OCD
Our Toronto OCD treatment centre uses an integrative model of care grounded in patient-centred practices that incorporates a range of therapeutic techniques and evidence-based treatments, including:
- Intensive exposure and response prevention (ERP) for reducing OCD symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help in identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours related to OCD.
- Group therapy to provide opportunities for peer support and professionally guided emotional processing, as well as develop additional skills to help you better manage your symptoms.
- Psychoeducational sessions to help you understand yourself and the nature of OCD.
- Mindfulness and physical exercise for creating healthy, lasting habits.
Why Bellwood’s Live-in OCD Treatment Might be Right for You
Inpatient treatment offers a more immersive environment, 24/7 support, and increased access to medical care than outpatient programs. Steps from Toronto’s Sunnybrook Park, our live-in facility is designed to encourage healing.

Afternoon
You’ll heal from the inside out with an invigorating, instructor-led workout and nutritionist-planned lunch. Then you’ll practice the exposure and response prevention (ERP) skills you learned in therapy.
