OCD CARE
OCD evaluation and treatment in Redlands and across California
Care with Fady Boules, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
OCD is not a personality quirk, and it is not about being neat. It is a loop: unwanted thoughts, and the rituals, checking, or reassurance that quiet them for a moment and then make them stronger.
Many people with OCD have no visible rituals at all. Many hide it for years, afraid of what their own thoughts might mean. OCD is not a choice or a character flaw, and it is treatable.
Leave a message — a team member calls you back the same business day, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Calls after 5 PM, on weekends, or on holidays are returned the next business day.

If you are in crisis right now, please don't wait for a callback. Call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (free, 24/7), text HOME to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line, or go to your nearest emergency room. If someone's life is in immediate danger, call 911.
Here in the Inland Empire—in person at our Redlands psychiatric office, or by secure telepsychiatry from anywhere in California—we take the time to understand the whole pattern, including the parts that are hard to say out loud, and build a treatment plan that fits.
Signs of OCD
Is this what you're experiencing?
OCD takes many forms, and most of them look nothing like the stereotype. Does any of this sound familiar?
- Thoughts That Will Not Leave
- Unwanted thoughts, images, or doubts show up again and again, and they feel nothing like you.
- Rituals You Cannot Skip
- Checking, washing, counting, repeating, or arranging until it feels right, even when part of you knows it makes no sense.
- It Happens in Your Head
- The rituals are silent: reviewing, praying, replaying, or arguing with a thought for hours, where no one can see.
- Asking Again and Again
- You ask the people around you for reassurance, feel better for a moment, and then need to ask again.
- A Shrinking Map
- You avoid places, objects, or situations because of what they might set off.
- Hours Gone
- It takes more and more of your day, and you are tired of hiding how much.
If several of these feel familiar, it's worth having an honest conversation. OCD is often mistaken for anxiety, perfectionism, or ADHD, and it is not diagnosed from one habit or one intrusive thought. A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation looks at the whole pattern: the distress, the time it takes, and what it costs you.
Getting started
How our care works
-
Start with a free call
Start with a free 15-minute call. No pressure, no commitment, and no clinical jargon—just a chance to say what's going on and hear whether this psychiatry practice is the right fit.
-
A thorough first visit
In our Redlands clinic or by secure video anywhere in California, we take our time. We take a careful clinical history, ask about the thoughts and the rituals, including the silent ones, and rule out conditions that can look like OCD. You leave with a clear picture and a concrete, actionable treatment plan.
-
Ongoing care that adjusts to you
If OCD medication is part of the plan, we choose it carefully and give it a fair trial before judging it. We check in, adjust, and provide ongoing medication management until the thoughts take up less of your day.
The therapy with the strongest evidence for OCD is exposure and response prevention (ERP). Read how ERP, medication, and TMS fit together.

Questions patients ask
Are you a psychiatrist?
No—and it's a fair thing to ask. Your care here is provided by Fady Boules, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an MD or DO). A PMHNP is an advanced-practice provider who specializes in mental health—trained and licensed to evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe and manage psychiatric medications. Different training, same goal: careful, thorough psychiatric care.
My thoughts are disturbing. Can I really say them out loud?
Yes. Unwanted thoughts about harm, sex, or religion are a well-known form of OCD. In OCD, an unwanted thought is not, by itself, evidence of desire, intent, or character. We explain confidentiality and its limits before you share anything, and we hear a thought as a symptom, not a confession.
Is OCD treated with medication or with therapy?
Both are first-line. Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specific kind of therapy, and SSRI medication are the main first-line treatments, and more severe OCD often does best with the two together. Visits here are for psychiatric evaluation and medication management. If ERP belongs in your plan, we talk through how to find a therapist trained in it.
Do you accept IEHP or Medi-Cal?
Yes—we accept IEHP (Medi-Cal), Kaiser SoCal and most major plans. Coverage varies by plan, and intake verifies your benefits before your first visit. Have a different Medi-Cal plan? Call—we may still be in-network. If you are a self-pay patient, care is a straightforward $175 for the initial psychiatric evaluation and $75 for follow-up appointments.
How fast can I be seen?
Most new patients are scheduled and seen within the same week, either in person at our Redlands office or by secure video appointment anywhere in California.
Can OCD care be done by video (telehealth)?
Yes—for most people, psychiatric evaluations and ongoing care work incredibly well via telepsychiatry across California. A few medications carry specific rules about how they can be prescribed by video, and we'll walk you through anything that applies to your specific treatment plan.
Do you see children and teens with OCD?
Yes. We see ages 5 and up. For children and teens, parents are part of the process from the very first call.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No referral is needed to get started. You can begin with a free 15-minute call, or request a callback and our office will reach out directly.
