Providers
The UF OCD Program is housed across three divisions of the Department of Psychiatry. All psychotherapy services are managed by the OCD, Anxiety, and Related Disorders Psychotherapy Clinic, which is part of the Division of Psychology. Medication management for adults with OCRDs is managed by the Adult OCD Psychiatry Clinic, which is part of the Adult Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic. Medication management of children and adolescents with OCRDs is managed by the Child and Adolescent OCD Psychiatry Clinic, which is part of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic.
While these clinics collaborate on care, they all have their own separate schedules. Therefore, it may not always be possible to have intake evaluation and treatment by psychology and psychiatry services at the same time, though concurrent scheduling will be offered when available and is more likely when scheduled in advance.
