Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions), and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety. While many people associate OCD with excessive cleaning or organization, the condition can take many forms and often affects work, school, relationships, and daily life.
At New Day Behavioral Health, we understand that OCD is more than simply being organized or perfectionistic. Our psychiatric providers work closely with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management and collaboration with therapists specializing in OCD.

If someone is hesitant about starting psychiatric medication, how do you walk them through that decision?
"I encourage open and honest conversations about concerns, expectations, and treatment options. I provide education about the potential benefits and risks of medication, answer questions, and ensure patients feel empowered to make informed decisions. Medication is always part of a shared decision-making process. ” - Linda Norton, PMHNP-BC, DNP
“Because I want to work as a team, my approach is heavy on education about the diagnosis, medication recommendations, risks/benefits and a discussion about realistic expectations and goals. I never start a medication without the patient's explicit consent and give patients several days to do their own research before starting treatment. ” - Tanitha Moncier, PMHNP-BC, DNP
