  • Referral for ERP (exposure and response prevention) therapy
  • OCD subtypes: contamination, harm, symmetry, religious, sexual

Benefits & Outcomes

OCD-Specific Expertise

OCD requires higher SSRI doses and specific augmentation strategies vs. other anxiety disorders.

ERP Coordination

Medication + ERP therapy is more effective than either alone.

All Subtypes

OCD presents in many forms — we evaluate without judgment across all subtypes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OCD anxiety?

OCD is related to anxiety but is its own diagnostic category with specific optimal treatments. Standard anxiety management alone is not sufficient.
