Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Therapists in Canada

Hi! My name is Mila Loskutova and I'm a registered clinical counsellor. I am a queer, immigrant settler woman. I am passionate about supporting folks healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues and OCD. I use a mix of gentle talk therapy that helps individuals dive deeper into self-exploration and more structured approaches for specific concerns, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I am mindful and curious about how our identities and the systems we live in shape the way we move through the world. My approach is humanistic, anti-oppressive and sometimes irreverent. I enjoy helping people create and deepen meaning in their lives. I am available online and in person at my office at 315, 2083 Alma Street, Vancouver.

I work with children, teens and adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes. I am trained in CBT, DBT and EMDR.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in your mental health journey? It’s common to face additional challenges when cultural expectations or societal pressures are involved, making it harder to navigate through life. If you’re struggling with anxiety, identity issues, or feeling disconnected from yourself, I’m here to help you find clarity and purpose. With a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution, I bring expertise and a deep commitment to supporting young adults, adolescents, and men, especially those from minority backgrounds. My approach is rooted in empathy, and I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can voice your experiences, embrace vulnerability, and build resilience. In our sessions, you’ll experience a welcoming, collaborative environment where your individual needs are prioritized. I use a person-centered approach to empower you to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, helping you feel confident in moving forward and overcoming obstacles. As a first-generation immigrant with experience living and studying in China, Canada, and the U.S., I understand firsthand how cultural, family, and identity dynamics can shape your journey. This unique perspective allows me to guide clients through the complexities of identity, external expectations, and personal growth, helping you make sense of your story and move toward a healthier, more authentic version of yourself. I offer therapy in both English and Mandarin, and I’m dedicated to supporting you in a way that resonates with your cultural and personal needs. Taking the first step toward therapy is a powerful choice, and I’d be honored to help you navigate this process with clarity, optimism, and empowerment. Ready to begin your journey? Book your session today, and let’s work together toward discovering the best version of yourself.

Are you someone who feels things deeply, maybe more than the people around you do? You may notice yourself feeling disconnected from others, finding it challenging to form the kind of relationships you want in your life. For many, this comes from living through experiences that can create a “before” and “after,” shifting their sense of safety, identity, or connection. These are often the quiet marks of trauma, even when we do not call them that. As a therapist, I explore how pain can shape us, offering a space where you can slow down, understand your story more deeply, and move toward change with care and intention. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I work from a trauma-informed perspective, drawing on psychodynamic and somatic approaches to support clients in processing difficult experiences, strengthening distress tolerance, and reconnecting with their inner resources to help move forward. Together, we’ll work toward steadier moods, healthier relationships, and a renewed connection to the parts of yourself that may have been silenced. If interested, I invite you to contact me for a complimentary 20-minute consultation to explore whether my supportive services are the right fit for you.
