My ideal client is someone who has been carrying a lot on their shoulders — whether they’re dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, or changes in mood — and feels like they’ve been trying to “power through” on their own without much relief. They may have tried therapy or medication before but haven’t quite found what works, leaving them frustrated, exhausted, or unsure of where to turn next. Many of the people I work with appear to be managing life well on the outside, yet inside they feel weighed down by worry, fatigue, or difficulty staying focused, and they’re hoping to find a provider who truly listens

My ideal clients are people who feel like they've exhausted their options. They've been through multiple medication trials, haven't found the relief they were hoping for, and are starting to lose faith that things can actually get better. Many are living with depression, mood disorders, or psychosis that has gone undertreated for too long. I meet them where they are, take their full history seriously, and work to understand why past approaches didn't stick — so we can find something that does.

FAQ - Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrist help with obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, intrusive thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors, such as excessive cleaning, hand-washing, checking, counting, or hoarding. These behaviors often serve as temporary relief from distressing thoughts but can quickly become disruptive and time-consuming. OCD commonly begins in late childhood or adolescence and may fluctuate in intensity over time, often influenced by life changes or stress. For many, the condition can interfere with daily functioning, including school, work, relationships, and overall well-being. Seeking psychiatric care can therefore be a valuable step in learning how to manage and reduce the impact of OCD on everyday life.
How do psychiatrists treat OCD?
During appointmnts, psychiatrists typically review a client's symptoms and any current medications to determine an appropriate treatment approach. Psychiatrists who specialize in OCD often use a combination of medication and therapy to support symptom management. The most frequently prescribed medications for OCD are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) which can help reduce the intensity of obsessive thoughts and emotional distress. While not all psychiatrists provide therapy themselves, many collaborate with therapists to support interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a highly effective therapeutic method for treating OCD.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in OCD?
The Psychology Today online directory can be a helpful resource to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in OCD. In addition to searching for psychiatrists who specialize in OCD, you may consider searching for psychiatrists who specialize in working with a particular population, such as children, or a certain co-occurring condition, such as anxiety. When searching for a provider, ask about their specific experience treating symptoms of OCD and what their approach to therapy and medication is. It is also important to determine whether their office is accessible (either close-by or via telehealth) and if they accept your insurance.
