EHN Bellwood Toronto’s Approach to Treating OCD

We use 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 EHN Bellwood Toronto’s Inpatient 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.
