Exploring Intrusive Thoughts, OCD, Anxiety, and Perfectionism—One Conversation at a Time. My main therapeutic orientation is CBT.

My name is Cristian, I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I offer counselling in Vaughan, Woodbridge, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Toronto and the GTA under clinical supervision. I hold a Master of Social Work and I am certified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) through Wilfrid Laurier University. I also incorporate Inference Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (I-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VERT) and other psychotherapy modalities. My work is dedicated to helping children, youth and adults reduce symptoms of OCD, ADHD, ASD, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma and more using an integrative approach that intertwines psychodynamic and evidence-based treatments, while remaining mindful to incorporate multicultural considerations into treatment. The process of reaching your goals can be uplifting and potentially life-changing. If you need help in managing and overcoming anxiety and depression and if you’d like to have a healthier relationship with your emotions, get in touch, I would love to hear what you have to say. I am currently offering services through partner agency York Region CBT. Book now a 15 minutes free consultation: https://yorkregioncbt.janeapp.com

As the year comes to an end, remember that finding yourself isn’t a moment on the calendar, it’s an ongoing practice of becoming, available to you at any time.

Resisting reassurance I’ll weaken the OCD cycle.

12/12/2025

The past few weeks have been heavy filled with situations that brought hurt, and with those who caused more harm than good.
Sometimes you can’t simply let go, surrender control, or respond with kindness.
But you can respond with strength.
You can draw clear boundaries.
You can rise with clarity and action.

There is a quiet unleashing power in stepping back, gathering your energy, and returning with a decisive comeback.
Let them sit comfortably in the dark, believing they hold the upper hand until the moment your strength strikes through, steady and undeniable, leaving an impact that echoes long after.

Even adversity needs to be shown its place—
to feel the shock of a comeback it never saw coming.

You can’t change the beginning.
But you can rewrite the ending—boldly, fiercely, and on your own terms.

Discomfort is not a sign of suffering, but a sign that change is happening. Keep pushing !
