Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Welcome Grandma ;0) Glad that you found us! It is so refreshing to see a grandparent so involved with her grandchild. Everyone here is very supportive and more than happy to help. I wish that I could pull up a web address at the moment but it's my bedtime and I'm not quite awake, lol. Google OCD and many sites will come up. Also, have your granddaughter's parents ask their pediatrician for a recommendation. They can also call their health insurer and ask them for assistance. You can also poke around the posts and find some useful links. I personally have found the web to be an incredibly useful tool. Sorry that I'm in a rush at the moment but have no fear because other awesome members will reply to you. Again, welcome. Jen Professional Help This is my first message as a member so I'll give a brief explanation of why I am a member. My 5 year old Granddaughter " Abby " has been recently diagnosed with OCD by a Psychologist. Our family has known that something was different with Abby since she was about one year old. She's gone through a lot of different issues such as night terrors, hording, repeating, fears, etc. The family doctor even had a specialist run an EEG on her. As Abby got older her symptoms (actions) became clearly that of OCD. It's actually been such a relief to have a name for what she has and to have it confirmed by a specialist. Our problen is that this particular psychologist does not treat OCD. We can't seem to find any help in their area. We purchased books and workbooks but I really feel that Abby needs professional help. She is extremely smart and has a great sense of humor but we worry everytime she is left with anyone other than family. She starts kindergarten this Fall. Does anyone know where to get professional help for child OCD in Oregon? They live in Eugene Oregon. Thank you, from a very concerned Grandma.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi. Welcome, . . .So glad you found us. I live in Washington, about half way between Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. I looked for a qualified therapist in both cities because there wasn't anyone closer to us, and both drives were about the same amount of miles for us. Below is a list from the OCFoundation website of providers in Oregon, that might be helpful. I think Corvallis is closest for you, isn't it? I have relation in Eugene, and thought that was the closest one listed, to Eugene. It's good you've been reading about OCD, so you will know what to look for in a therapist. CBT, including ERP is a must. Be sure to call any therapists you are interested in and ask for a consultation over the phone. If they do not treat kids, only adults, ask for referrals of someone who does specialize in the treatment of OCD that treats kids. Some of these (listed) are anxiety clinics, which is good because OCD is an anxiety disorder and they treat it also. Another option is to find an OCD support group, locally. Ask them for referrals too. They often know of the good psychiatrists and therapists in the area. From the list below. . I personally talked to Ricks Warren and McLellarn. They both were really understanding and seemed to know how to treat OCD successfully. I also talked to Tom Dooley. I would steer clear of him though. If you want to know why, you can write me personally. Don't be surprised if you have to commute a bit. It is only the really, really lucky ones who seem to find qualified help close by. And we found many do not work with insurance companies either. Having said that, I have to say, therapy helped our son tremendously. It is worth the drive and money to find someone who knows what they are doing. Best of luck. BJ A. Hart, MD 1300 NW on Blvd Suite B-10 Corvallis, OR 97330 US Phone: Fax: Email: office@...
