Shawn Faust, DNP, PMHNP, has been in clinical practice since 2018, specializing in OCD and OC-spectrum conditions including Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Hoarding Disorder, Excoriation Disorder, and Trichotillomania. He provides OCD medication management via telehealth to patients across North Carolina, with an emphasis on anti-obsessional pharmacotherapy — SSRI dosing for OCD at therapeutic targets, appropriate agent selection, and evidence-based treatment duration. Augmentation strategies for treatment-resistant OCD include antipsychotic, glutamatergic, and clomipramine-based agents.
Dr. Faust provides medication management for OCD and OC-spectrum conditions, including Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Hoarding Disorder, Excoriation Disorder, and Trichotillomania. Co-occurring depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and PTSD are managed alongside OCD, with each plan tailored to the patient's complete presentation.
Dr. Faust completed his doctoral training at the University of Arizona, with clinical experience across community mental health, integrative care, and private practice. He founded his OCD-focused telehealth practice in 2022 and stays current through OCD conferences and IOCDF professional communities.
