Specialized OCD diagnosis and medication management for adults in Columbus and Cleveland. Board-certified psychiatrists with OCD expertise. Insurance accepted.
OCD treatment covered by most major insurance plans
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) requires specialized expertise. Generic anxiety treatment is rarely sufficient. Our psychiatrists are trained in OCD-specific pharmacological strategies and collaborate with ERP therapists for comprehensive care.
OCD is frequently misdiagnosed. Our psychiatrists conduct specialized assessments using validated tools like the Y-BOCS to accurately identify OCD subtypes — including contamination, harm, symmetry, religious, and purely obsessional presentations.
When medication is clinically appropriate, FDA-approved options for OCD include high-dose SSRIs (fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, paroxetine) and clomipramine. We specialize in OCD-specific dosing strategies and augmentation approaches for treatment-resistant cases. Any prescription depends on your diagnosis, medical necessity, contraindications, and the standard of care, and is ultimately a decision made by you and your clinician based on your treatment plan and applicable law.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard therapy for OCD. We coordinate closely with ERP-trained therapists and provide referrals to ensure you receive the most effective combined treatment approach.
OCD is a chronic condition that responds well to sustained treatment. We provide regular follow-up appointments to monitor medication effectiveness, adjust doses, and support you through flare-ups and life transitions.
