Help with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Today

Dr. Chalemian and Jeff Carlson provide expert, evidence-based care for individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), offering a compassionate and structured approach to treatment. Contact with the office begins with a 10–15 minute phone consultation.  This initial conversation with the office is followed by a more thorough evaluation by either Dr. Chalemian or Jeff Carlson, depending on the need.   This evaluation will  assess how OCD is affecting daily life and determine the most effective path forward. With their expertise in OCD treatment as well as in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry, Dr. Chalemian and Jeff Carlson create personalized treatment plans that cater to each individual’s needs and goals.

Treatment for OCD often includes a combination of therapy and medication, depending on the severity of symptoms and the patient's preferences. Dr. Chalemian’s office utilizes evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which are highly effective in reducing obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. When medication is appropriate, she carefully selects and adjusts treatments such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to help regulate intrusive thoughts and anxiety. The collaborative holistic approach of the office ensures that each patient receives the right balance of therapy, medication, and lifestyle adjustments to achieve meaningful progress.

Beyond symptom management, the office is dedicated to empowering her patients with long-term strategies for maintaining mental wellness. She provides guidance on managing triggers, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and building resilience to prevent relapses. By fostering a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, she helps individuals with OCD regain control over their lives and find relief from the distress caused by intrusive thoughts and compulsions. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or a loved one, our office is committed to providing expert care every step of the way.
