Shawn Faust, DNP, PMHNP-BC

Dr. Faust, DNP, PMHNP, provides anti-obsessional medication management via telehealth for adults and adolescents with OCD and OC-spectrum conditions. Many patients referred to him were previously prescribed medications that carry no anti-obsessional indication, or received indicated agents at doses too low to produce an anti-obsessional effect. His evidence-based approach includes appropriate anti-obsessional agent selection, dosing, and treatment duration. He uses augmentation with CMI, glutamatergic agents, or antipsychotics when patients do not respond adequately to SSRI-dosing for OCD. He works closely with ERP-providers, and welcomes collaboration with therapists, IOP programs, and residential treatment facilities to support continuity of care.

Dr. Faust manages co-occurring psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and PTSD. Each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation and a medication plan tailored to their full clinical picture, with ongoing adjustments guided by outcome tracking and patient feedback.

Dr. Faust completed his doctoral training at the University of Arizona, with subsequent clinical experience spanning community mental health, integrative care, and private practice. He founded his OCD-focused telehealth practice in 2022. He maintains active involvement in professional development through attendance at OCD-specific conferences and participation in IOCDF professional communities, with ongoing continuing education concentrated in evidence-based pharmacologic treatment of OCD and related conditions. Is scheduled to attend BTTI training through the IOCDF in October 2026 in Wisconsin.
