OCD Treatment in New Smyrna Beach, South Daytona & Deland, FL
If unwanted thoughts keep looping, or you feel driven to check, count, or repeat things a certain way just to feel okay, you may be dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). At BFF Clinic, we provide compassionate, personalized OCD evaluation and treatment for children, teens, and adults across New Smyrna Beach, South Daytona, and Deland, Florida — because your mental health deserves the best friendship.
OCD Is More Than Being "Particular"
OCD isn't about liking things neat or having quirky habits. It involves genuinely distressing, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) paired with repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) done to relieve the anxiety those thoughts cause. It can quietly take up hours of a person's day and make ordinary routines exhausting.
Intrusive, hard-to-shake thoughts
Checking, counting, or arranging rituals
Excessive hand washing or cleaning
Need for symmetry or "just right" order

Our Approach to OCD Care
OCD evaluation at BFF Clinic starts with listening. We take a full history of your symptoms, how they show up across different areas of your life, and what's already been tried, so treatment is built around you rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Thorough evaluation
Confirms diagnosis and rules out overlapping conditions like anxiety or depression.
Collaborative care
You're informed and involved in every decision about your treatment.
Specialized therapy referrals
Referrals for ERP or CBT, gold-standard behavioral approaches for OCD.
Personalized medication
Follow-up visits every two weeks while medications are introduced or adjusted.
We currently treat individuals age 8 and older — from children just starting to show signs of OCD to adults who've lived with it, often quietly, for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is OCD the same as just being a "neat freak"?
No. OCD involves genuinely distressing intrusive thoughts and compulsions that interfere with daily life — it's not the same as having strong preferences for order or cleanliness.
Do you treat both children and adults for OCD?
Yes. We currently treat individuals age 8 and older.
Is OCD treatment done in-person or virtually?
Our psychiatric appointments are conducted in-person to support the highest quality of care, and we also offer virtual appointment options.
How soon will I be seen after starting medication?
If medication is newly prescribed or adjusted, we schedule follow-up visits every two weeks until your treatment is stabilized.
Which BFF Clinic location should I visit for my OCD evaluation?
We see patients at our New Smyrna Beach, South Daytona, and Deland, FL locations. Reach out and we'll help you find the location and appointment time that works best for you.
