Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Psychiatrists in Kenmore, WA
I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional challenges that can feel overwhelming to manage alone. Many of my clients come to therapy after going through difficult life experiences such as trauma, loss, or major life transitions. They are often seeking a safe, supportive space where they can feel heard, understood, and not judged. Some individuals I work with struggle with symptoms related to PTSD, mood disorders, or severe anxiety that affect their daily functioning, relationships, and overall sense of well-being.

Online booking & telehealth - You hold it together on the outside, but inside your mind never quiets. The anxiety, the dips into depression, the feeling that trauma keeps pulling you back—it’s exhausting. My clients often tell me they feel like they should be “fine,” but they’re worn down by the constant pressure. What they want isn’t more noise or quick fixes—they want someone who will actually hear them, help them sort through the chaos, and find steadiness again.

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.
