OCD Treatment in Miami
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves unwanted, recurring thoughts and repetitive behaviors that can significantly disrupt daily life. At Advance Psychiatry & Wellness, we provide personalized, bilingual OCD care in English and Spanish — in our Miami office or via secure telepsychiatry across Florida.
Recognizing OCD
OCD goes far beyond being neat or organized. It involves distressing obsessions and compulsions that consume significant time and energy. Many people live with OCD for years before seeking help.
Common symptoms include:
- Intrusive, unwanted thoughts or mental images
- Excessive need for order, symmetry, or exactness
- Fear of contamination or germs
- Repeated checking (locks, appliances, etc.)
- Counting, tapping, or repeating actions ritualistically
- Avoidance of situations that trigger obsessions
- Significant distress when rituals are interrupted
How We Treat OCD
OCD responds well to proper treatment. After a thorough evaluation, we develop a plan tailored to the type and severity of your symptoms.
Treatment may include:
- Medication management: SSRIs and other medications that reduce obsessive-compulsive symptoms
- Therapeutic support: Coordination with therapists specializing in ERP and CBT for OCD
- Ongoing monitoring: Regular follow-ups to optimize medication and track progress
- Collaborative care: Working alongside your therapist or primary care provider
Telepsychiatry
All treatment is available via secure, HIPAA-compliant video visits from anywhere in Florida.
What to Expect
Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation lasting 45–60 minutes. We'll review your symptoms, history, and goals before creating a personalized treatment plan together. Follow-up visits are typically 15–30 minutes.
We accept most major insurance plans and offer self-pay options. No referral is needed to schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. OCD can involve many kinds of obsessions and compulsions well beyond cleanliness — intrusive thoughts, checking, counting, mental rituals, and a constant need for reassurance. It looks different for everyone.
Intrusive thoughts can feel disturbing, but in OCD they don't reflect who you are or what you want — they're a symptom, not an intention. You're not alone in experiencing them, and they're something we can work through together.
Not necessarily. At your evaluation we'll talk through what fits you — for some people that includes medication, for others we focus on other approaches and can help connect you with a therapist. Any plan is built with you, not handed to you.
Either works. We offer secure telepsychiatry anywhere in Florida as well as in-person visits at our Miami office in Kendall / The Hammocks, so you can get care in whatever setting feels most comfortable. No referral is needed to schedule.
