I live near that area, and you won't find anyone there that understands OCD.

There is this gentleman in Tacoma though

He works at the same clinic in Seattle too, that our son goes to. They are good

there, but I haven't met him personally.

I'm not sure what his " insurance " situation is. You would have to call to see

what they take.

Best of luck. It's hard when they hit the teen years, and they won't

communicate with you. I know. Our son is 19 and it's the same here.

noticed a lot of tapping. She was diagnosed at 10. I suspect it started about

1st grade. She did have a counselor for a while in late elementary and through

middle school. At this age, she doens't talk to me about it anymore. She has

never been on medications just Inositol. I think it is time for her to see

someone again. I am not sure if I want to go with Psychologist or just a

counselor. We can have 4 visits with only a copay after that we have to pay it

all. We don't have prescription coverage.
