Care for OCD Beyond the Stereotypes

OCD often looks nothing like popular portrayals — intrusive thoughts, mental rituals, and compulsions can be invisible
to everyone but the person experiencing them. We provide evaluation and medication management for the full range of
how OCD presents.

Same provider every visit · No referral needed

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Intrusive, unwanted thoughts that keep looping, even when you know they don’t make sense.

  • Mental rituals such as counting, repeating phrases, or reviewing that others may never see.

  • Checking, cleaning, or ordering behaviors that take up hours of your day.

  • Shame or secrecy that makes it difficult to talk about your symptoms.

  • Your current medication isn’t providing enough relief.

OCD Evaluation & Treatment

Structured Diagnostic Interview
Identifying your specific pattern of obsessions and compulsions.

OCD-Specific Medication Management
Medication management tailored to the symptoms and severity of your OCD.

Therapy Coordination
Coordination with a therapist providing exposure and response prevention (ERP).

Judgment-Free Evaluation
A supportive space to discuss symptoms that can be difficult to say out loud.

OCD is treatable — and often misunderstood

Many patients with OCD go years without an accurate diagnosis because their specific
symptoms didn’t match what they expected OCD to look like. Getting an accurate read on
your specific pattern is often the first real step toward relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to have visible compulsions to have OCD?

No. Many people with OCD have primarily mental compulsions that are entirely internal and invisible to
others.

Do you provide therapy as well as medication?

Medication management is provided here; we coordinate with therapists providing ERP or other OCD-focused
therapy

How long before medication helps with OCD?

OCD medication response can take longer than for depression or anxiety alone — often 8–12 weeks at an
adequate dose.
