Medication Management
Medication is one treatment option for OCD. If appropriate, we discuss choices, benefits, and side effects, with follow-up to monitor your response and revisit decisions together.

OCD care.
Your experience matters.
Unwanted thoughts and repetitive rituals can take up time and energy that you want for the rest of your life. I offer adult OCD assessment and medication management, with time to understand your experience.
Understanding the experience
There is more to OCD
than others may see.
OCD can involve distressing, recurring thoughts, images, or urges, and behaviors or mental rituals that feel difficult to resist. Some of that experience may be invisible to other people.
These examples are a starting point for conversation, not a way to diagnose yourself.
Unwanted thoughts
Intrusive thoughts, images, or doubts return and cause distress.
Rituals or checking
Repeated actions or mental routines feel necessary to reduce anxiety or uncertainty.
Time and energy
The cycle interferes with daily activities, relationships, or the things you want to do.
Care with Jeffrey
Understand you.
Then plan together.
A fuller picture comes first.
We make space to discuss what you experience, how much time it takes, and how it affects your life. We also review your history, previous treatment, and other concerns. You can begin in your own words; you do not need a perfect explanation.
How we approach careYour first step
Start where
you are.
Meet online from a private space in New York. Bring your questions, a medication list, and any treatment history you would like to discuss.
Care is for adults 18 and older. We will discuss whether your needs fit this practice and when another type or level of care would be more appropriate.
What to expect at your first visitA few things you may be wondering
Before we meet.
Is OCD the same as liking things neat?
No. OCD involves obsessions, compulsions, or both that cause distress or interfere with life. Preferences about tidiness alone do not establish an OCD diagnosis.
Can compulsions happen in my head?
Yes. Compulsions can include mental acts, not only visible behaviors. It is useful to discuss what you feel driven to do, including rituals that other people may not notice.
Does thoughtscape NP Psychiatry provide ERP?
This page describes psychiatric assessment and medication management. Specialized ERP treatment is not currently listed as a service at thoughtscape NP Psychiatry. We can discuss an appropriate referral and how medication care might fit alongside it.
Can I continue with my current therapist?
You can discuss that at your evaluation. When the care arrangement is appropriate, medication management can sit alongside therapy elsewhere. Coordination with your therapist would happen with your permission.
