Specialized OCD care across Saskatchewan. Not an emergency service. Use local emergency services for immediate danger.
A useful referral should make it easy to understand who SaskOCD treats, what treatment is provided, and what happens after the referral is received.
Assessment focuses on obsessions, overt and mental compulsions, avoidance, accommodation and functional impact.
Care is organized around exposure and response prevention, with adjunctive processes when clinically appropriate.
Secure virtual care supports clients across the province, subject to clinical fit and service availability.
Medical and medication questions remain within the appropriate regulated provider scope.
Referral principle: A formal OCD diagnosis is not required before asking whether specialized assessment is appropriate.
SaskOCD provides specialized psychotherapy for OCD across Saskatchewan. A confirmed diagnosis is not required before referral; the presentation can be assessed for treatment suitability during intake.
Intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance, avoidance, rumination or functional impairment suggest OCD or an OCD-spectrum presentation requiring specialized assessment.
ERP-based psychotherapy, treatment of mental compulsions/rumination, ACT-informed ERP components, family/partner education and coordination with medical care where appropriate.
Secure virtual psychotherapy across Saskatchewan. Current clinician availability, age ranges and any in-person options should be confirmed at referral.
Private pay, extended insurance where applicable, NIHB for eligible clients, and other funded pathways when currently available and approved.
Clinical correspondence and coordination depend on client consent, professional scope and the referral context.
Use the secure SaskOCD intake pathway or contact the clinic if professional documentation needs to be transmitted.
We review OCD symptoms, compulsive behaviours, impairment, safety, comorbidity and treatment suitability.
The client receives a clear plan. If another service or level of care is more appropriate, we say so.
With consent, relevant treatment information can be shared with referring clinicians or prescribers when clinically useful.
Useful information includes the presenting concern, suspected or established diagnoses, current medications, relevant risk/safety information, previous OCD treatment, major comorbidity, and the reason specialized care is being requested.
Medical fax: (306) 900-6700. Clinic email: [email protected]. For urgent or emergency concerns, use the appropriate local emergency pathway rather than routine referral channels.
