I care about your best treatment. It’s one of my hallmarks:
“My best recommendations (even when it doesn’t include me, seriously).”
I very commonly collaborate with Psychiatrists, other medical providers, faith leaders, and more for your best care. I have curated this page personally to accomplish the following
- As a supplement to current treatment with me
- While waiting to get into my schedule
- Or if you can’t see me for various reasons, such as:
- Times Available
- Location / Out of State
- Cost (see “The Real Cost of Therapy” article to understand what goes into the pricing of therapy)
- Needing different specialization (like Autism, Personality Disorders, Psychotic Disorders, etc.)
- Other personal preferences like personality fit, gender, religious affiliation, etc.
Through the years the I have developed the following contacts and/or use these for referrals.*

General Crisis / Acute Care (Intensive / Inpatient) in DFW
There are numerous crisis stabilization options, but in my years in DFW, the ones I’ve had mostly positive experiences with are as follows. To be clear, none of these specialize in OCD, but they have been helpful to many who have needed crisis/acute care, whether for reasons of detox, suicidal risk, extreme burnout and feelings of overwhelm, and more.
