Shawn Faust DNP, PMHNP-BC
Narrative of Services:
Dr. Faust, DNP, PMHNP offers medication management for OCD in patients aged 15 and older. OCD comprises about 25–50% of the patient population. Initial assessments are 60 minutes, followed by 30-minute follow-ups. Understanding the importance of integrated care, we collaborate with patients’ existing therapists at no additional cost and refer to ERP-trained clinicians when a therapy relationship is not yet established.
Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:
With medication management, we treat common co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and PTSD. Each patient receives a thorough psychiatric evaluation, followed by individualized medication planning. We collaborate with therapists and other providers as needed to support coordinated, comprehensive care.
Training Description:
Beginning with my doctoral training at the University of Arizona in 2017, I have gained extensive clinical experience treating OCD. Since launching my private practice in 2022, I have focused more specifically on OCD and related disorders, supported by ongoing continuing education in evidence-based approaches to medication management and collaborative care.
