Specialized OCD Treatment in Orlando
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects approximately 2-3% of adults and is characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety. Without proper treatment, OCD can become severely debilitating — consuming hours each day and interfering with work, relationships, and quality of life.
At Empathy Health Clinic, our board-certified psychiatrists provide evidence-based medication management for OCD. First-line pharmacological treatment involves selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), often at higher doses than those used for depression. For patients who do not respond adequately to SSRIs alone, we offer augmentation strategies including low-dose atypical antipsychotics and other evidence-based approaches.
We also strongly recommend combining medication with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the gold-standard psychotherapy for OCD. Our psychiatrists coordinate closely with ERP-trained therapists in the Orlando area to ensure you receive comprehensive, integrated care.

Comprehensive OCD Evaluation
A detailed psychiatric assessment to confirm your OCD diagnosis, identify the specific type and severity of your symptoms, screen for co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression, and develop a targeted treatment plan.
SSRI & Medication Management
Expert prescribing and titration of SSRIs (sertraline, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and others) at therapeutic doses for OCD. We monitor your response carefully and adjust dosing over time to maximize symptom relief while minimizing side effects.

For patients with partial SSRI response, we offer evidence-based augmentation strategies including low-dose atypical antipsychotics, clomipramine, and combination approaches. We stay current with emerging research on novel OCD treatments.
