OCD Treatment in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

How ocd is evaluated and treated

Assessment and management of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that take time or cause distress.

Care for Palm Beach Gardens patients begins with a full psychiatric evaluation: current symptoms and how long they have lasted, psychiatric and medical history, medications and supplements, sleep, substance use, family history, and the daily stressors specific to work, school, and family life. From there we discuss a diagnosis in plain language and build a treatment plan together.

When medication is appropriate, options, expected benefits, side effects, and monitoring are reviewed at each visit. When helpful, care is coordinated with therapy, primary care, or other specialists, and laboratory or psychological testing may be recommended.

Getting to care from Palm Beach Gardens

At nearly 80 miles, Palm Beach Gardens is close to a two-hour drive from Hialeah in typical southbound traffic on I-95 or the Turnpike.

Care is telehealth-based, scheduled in blocks that suit patients working in the PGA Boulevard corporate corridor or managing care for an older parent at home. For obsessive-compulsive disorder specifically, that means Palm Beach Gardens patients are not asked to absorb a 78-mile trip in order to keep obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment consistent. Appointments are available in English and Spanish, and records can be shared with your primary care physician or therapist in Palm Beach Gardens on request.
