OCD Psychiatrist in Virginia

Helping You Break Free From the Cycle of Obsessions and Compulsions

Intrusive thoughts, unwanted urges, and repetitive behaviors can take over your day, leaving you exhausted, anxious, and stuck in cycles that feel impossible to break. What may look like a quirk or a habit from the outside can quietly consume hours of your time and drain your sense of control. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is far more than being “neat” or “particular,” and it deserves real, specialized care.

At Godaelli Psychiatry & Mental Health Center, we provide compassionate, individualized care for children (6+), teens, and adults living with OCD and related conditions, including obsessive thought patterns, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring anxiety. Our team takes the time to understand how OCD shows up in your life, the themes of your obsessions, the rituals you rely on, and the toll they take, so that treatment is tailored to you rather than to a diagnosis alone. Whether you need an initial evaluation or ongoing support, we offer secure telehealth across Virginia and in-person visits to meet you where you are.

Comprehensive OCD Evaluations

Finding clarity is the first step. Our care model relies on a proven pathway: Assessment → Education → Healing. We conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations to identify OCD and distinguish it from related conditions like generalized anxiety, PTSD, or other obsessive-spectrum disorders, taking the time to understand how your symptoms impact your unique lifestyle.

Medication Management for OCD

Treating OCD is highly individualized. We use a low-and-slow, safety-first titration philosophy to find the most effective treatment with the fewest side effects. Your care plan may include medication combined with integrative psychotherapy, including evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to help you reduce the power of intrusive thoughts and break the cycle of compulsions.
