What is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition involving unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions). OCD can significantly interfere with daily life, relationships, work, and overall well-being.

How is OCD treated?

OCD is highly treatable. Evidence-based treatment may include medication management, specialized psychotherapy such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), or a combination of both. Treatment is tailored to each person’s symptoms and individual needs.

Do you provide OCD treatment through telehealth?

Yes. Our clinic provides OCD psychiatric care through secure telehealth appointments, allowing patients to receive specialized care conveniently from home.

Do I need a diagnosis before scheduling an appointment?

No. If you are experiencing symptoms that may be related to OCD, you can schedule an evaluation. Our team can assess your symptoms and determine whether OCD treatment may be appropriate.

What happens during the first appointment?

The initial appointment typically includes a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, current medications, treatment goals, and any concerns you may have. This information helps us develop an individualized treatment plan.
