Getting to know Felicity Blance

I am most passionate about providing a space for individuals who feel stuck in painful patterns to develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I'm particularly drawn to working with people navigating personality-related concerns, OCD and anxiety disorders, and the effects of difficult early life experiences, as these challenges often carry significant shame and misunderstanding. Being able to support that process is both a privilege and the most rewarding part of my work. I have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, identity, and interpersonal relationships.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I believe one of the most important aspects of the process is finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable, understood and supported. I hope that therapy becomes a space where you can show up authentically and feel empowered to explore both the challenges you're facing and the strengths you already possess. Whether you're navigating a difficult period, working through longstanding patterns, or seeking personal growth, I aim to meet you with curiosity and respect for your unique experiences.
I also want patients to know that therapy is not about being "fixed." Rather, it is a collaborative process of gaining insight, building skills and creating meaningful change that aligns with your values and goals. My hope is that through our work together, you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and a stronger sense of connection to the life you want to live.
Before becoming a therapist, I built my career in the corporate world, which gave me firsthand insight into the challenges many professionals face. I understand the pressures of high-performance work environments and the difficulty of balancing demanding careers, relationships, family responsibilities and personal well-being. This experience helps me connect with patients navigating both professional and personal challenges.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I treat OCD using exposure and response prevention, the gold-standard treatment for OCD, as well as inference-based CBT, an emerging evidence-based approach. I work with patients to understand the unique ways OCD manifests in their lives, helping them reduce compulsions, challenge obsessive doubt and build confidence in their ability to tolerate uncertainty.
I also have extensive experience using DBT with adults struggling with emotion dysregulation, interpersonal relationships and impulsive behaviors. Drawing from DBT's evidence-based framework, I help patients develop skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, while balancing acceptance and meaningful change.
