Meet Justin
La Rose, RP

Justin La Rose has spent over a decade in clinical practice doing one thing: treating OCD. Not OCD as one line on a list next to anxiety, depression and trauma. Just OCD. He is the founder and Clinical Director of The OCD Clinic by La Rose Counselling Services.

His treatment model is ERP: Exposure and Response Prevention. Not because it's the only tool available, but because it's the treatment with the largest body of trial evidence for OCD (Öst et al., 2015). Every client gets an exposure hierarchy built around how their OCD works. It's like a good trainer: you start with what you can lift today, not the heaviest weight in the room.

Justin works with adults across Ontario in individual therapy, with couples through the OUR OCD method, and with international clients through OCD coaching. He also supervises therapists learning to treat OCD with ERP.

He doesn't take every referral. If ERP isn't the right fit, he'll tell you. The goal is that you fire us, for the right reasons, and that starts with being honest about what treatment actually requires.
