Understanding OCD

OCD is a chronic anxiety-related condition characterized by intrusive, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive actions or rituals (compulsions). It can be highly disruptive to daily life—but with the right treatment, recovery is achievable.

At Principium Psychiatry, we take a holistic, evidence-based approach that integrates medication, psychotherapy, and interventional options when appropriate.

Comprehensive OCD Treatment Approach

Our Midtown office located across from Grand Central Station serves patients from all five boroughs with in-person and telehealth visits.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

ERP is the gold standard for OCD treatment. Our therapists help patients gradually face intrusive thoughts and resist compulsive behaviors in a structured, supportive environment—reducing anxiety and restoring control.

Psychopharmacology

Our psychiatrists specialize in medication management for OCD, using SSRIs, SNRIs, or augmentation strategies when needed. We tailor every plan to the patient’s biology and history, incorporating pharmacogenetic testing to improve outcomes.

Interventional Psychiatry: TMS and Ketamine

For patients who don’t fully respond to standard treatments, Principium offers:

  • TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

    FDA-approved for OCD; targets hyperactive neural circuits driving obsessive thinking.

  • Ketamine and Spravato®

    Can reduce intrusive thoughts and anxiety symptoms associated with treatment-resistant OCD.

Integrated Therapy for Comorbidities

Many individuals with OCD also experience depression or generalized anxiety. Our team addresses co-occurring conditions in tandem to ensure comprehensive, lasting improvement.
