Re: San Diego - OCD Psychiatrist recommendation needed

[Guest guest]

Oh, I should say, it doesn't have to be a psychiatrist. We'll be happy

with anyone who can effectively help our kids!!!

Hi , Curious what was the program and who was your psychiatrist?

An MFT who specializes in ocd in Escondido is Lori Riodle . She

has a website you can check out (search under her name). Have you

checked for providers at UCSD? The problem I have found is that most

specialists do not contract with insurance. Jim hatton (psychologist)

who moderates the teen ocd list is also in San Diego. Our

psychiatrist does not specialize in ocd, but she is a child

adolescent p-doc and she is very caring and accessible and flexible

(you do not have to go through receptionsists), however she also does

not contract with insurance. We seem to have more or less spectrums

of ocd tourettes/trich and aspergers in our kids too.

,

how about UCLA? I know it is a drive but there is Schwartz, MD, the

author of Brain Lock. I understand they have a wonderful treatment facility.

If you don't want to go that far, you may contact them and see if there are

referrals in San Diego.

Good Luck.

Hello!

I have been a member for a while, but have not posted until now. (I

tried to yesterday, but failed somehow.) Anyway, we see Lori Riddle-

in Escondido and can also highly recommend her. My 8-year-old

daughter also goes to the UCSD OCD Clinic for meds. It's only open on

Wednesdays, and you can do therapy there, as well, but we're very happy

with Lori. Both take insurance. Let me know if your need numbers.

Thank you . I did get your email and post. I appreciate your

response and recommendation. I'll let you know if we get in!

Hi ,

The program was a 12-20 week CBT with Brett . The kids really

liked him...

Finding someone who takes insurance is so difficult!

I did do a search on Lori. She looks like a great option. We also got

Jim Hatton's name. I'll research him as well.

I hadn't done a UCSD directory search because I was truly hoping for

someone who came recommended for success.

These last two therapist setbacks have put getting my kids the help

they need back about 7 months...sigh.

Thank you again for your recommendations. I will let you know what we

find.

Hi ,

Great idea to contact Schwart's office at UCLA for referrals

here. I will follow up that angle as well.

I don't think *I* could survive regular trips to LA...

Wish me luck - I'll post what we find. Thanks again!
