Reviews of OCD and Anxiety Clinic of Ontario (Psychologist)

Bobby Landa

I worked with Rob for over 3 months to tackle my OCD. He is an extremely knowledgeable psychologist, and uses an approach that is extremely effective to diminish OCD symptoms and address core issues that are causing the OCD. I found his readings very effective and the way in which he guides you through ERP therapy cannot be replicated with ease. I can confidently say that Rob is without a doubt the best psychologist I have ever worked with and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone that is struggling with OCD. I finally feel that I have my life back. Thank you Rob!!

Robert Roopa is highly knowledgeable, patient, compassionate and responsive to my concerns. Robert is an experienced therapist that utilizes evidence based practices that have been scientifically shown to be very effective with proven results. My first impression was extremely pleasant and welcoming, Robert's genuine care and deep passion were evident from day one. He assisted me through a very challenging time in a safe and secure environment, which allowed me to open up and explore my situation. His approach allowed me to move past the anxiety and move forward at a pace comfortable for me. Robert helped me deal and better cope and provided me with the tools to continue to work toward an ideal state of wellness. I highly recommend OCD and Anxiety Clinic of Ontario, a solid organization with an experienced and accomplished Psychologist. Much more than I expected.

Robert is AMAZING. He is personable, kind, and very compassionate. He is never condescending and he takes the time to explain to you everything that is happening on the "science" side of things. I would have paid his rate for the homework informative readings alone! I have learned so much about OCD and how it affects me. He has completely changed my life and the way I view therapy in general now! If you are struggling with OCD and anxiety, he is worth the wait I promise you. Thank you, Robert, for everything!

I came to Robert a few months to deal with my anxiety. For years I have avoided my problems and shared them with no one which left me socially and emotionally stunted. I was in a rut and immediately after I started speaking to Robert things began to change. Robert asked me difficult questions about myself that required me to reflect on things I had managed to avoid talking about my entire life and made me feel completely comfortable doing so. He shared helpful tips that taught me the skills necessary for me to grow as a person and live the life I want. It was challenging at times. For people with anxiety, change is difficult but I promise that it is worth it. Robert has made it so much easier for me to tackle those obstacles without anxiety weighing me down. What might have taken me years to overcome took Robert only a few months to unpack. He was very professional, understanding and encouraging and I would not be where I am without him.

I spent years not knowing I was stuck in OCD’s cycle when I finally ended up finding Robert’s practice early this year. Robert got back to me quickly and we set up our first session. From then on I had sessions that changed my life. Robert is an extremely knowledgeable and caring individual who truly understands OCD and to anyone struggling, I recommend him immensely. He helped me understand what I needed to do to help myself face my OCD. I don’t think I could have done it without his help and I’m grateful to have worked with him over the past few months and get to where I am now. There is help out there and Robert will get you there. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

The best OCD therapist! I wish I had started seeing him years ago when my OCD first developed. It would have saved me a lot of suffering. Rob has a thorough and broad understanding of this illness and the necessary treatment.

Working with Robert Roopa was my first experience with a mental health professional. Before reaching out, I was intimidated and worried of even discussing my obsessions with a therapist, but after my first call with Robert, he made me realize how common these obsessions actually are. I worked with Rob for nearly 4 months, and they were some of the most challenging months I have ever had to go through. Understand that OCD treatment is challenging, but so long you trust your therapist, there is a good chance you will see success. I am genuinely impressed at how confident Robert is and how well he understands the minds of an individual struggling with OCD. I have made an incredible amount of progress in working with OCD, and attribute almost all of it to my work with Robert Roopa. I genuinely feel happier, more calm, and better prepared for whatever life has in store for me. If you are struggling with OCD, please reach out to Robert and join his waiting list. The wait may seem like a long time, but please stay strong and give him a shot. Thank you Rob.

Robert saved my relationship and arguably my partner’s life. For a year or so prior to having worked with Robert, he had suffered from deep depression and nothing was helping: not medication, therapy, counselling or self CBT and it wasn’t because he wasn’t trying, I assure you he was. In the fall, a social worker mentioned a past client of hers who also suffered from OCD and how it seemed to be exasperating his depression. I knew my hubby suffered from OCD (hand washing) but saw no link to his depression. We decided to see the idea through, what other option did we have really. He started working with Robert in the fall of 2020 and they identified together that he was obsessing about specific thoughts and those thoughts were a direct link to his well being and happiness. Within a very short time, they tackled various elements of OCD including a better understanding of what it is, why it might be happening and of course ways to live with it. By December (a mere 3 months after they started working together), the symptoms that were debilitating to him were near gone and managed extremely well. He was back to working full weeks and had learned how to let go of his obsessive thoughts to move forward. Earlier this month, my hubby and I made the difficult decision to pause their sessions for financial reasons due to changes in my benefits but it is absolutely beyond comforting to know that Robert is a phone call away if ever this resurfaces. Thank you Robert for giving me my hubby back. I missed him. A lot.
