Annie Zadori PsyD

I have worked with patients who have been from various ethnic/religious backgrounds and have traveled internationally for treatment. Although I emphasize my practice on OCD my most common cases have been concerns with religiosity and morality as well as Veterans with contamination OCD. My Practice is solely virtual and only specific Intensive OutPatient (IOP) treatment cases will be held in form of home visits determined after evaluations. Each OCD case is different and requires thorough evaluation prior treatment planning.

Co-occurring disorders treated simultaneously include disorders that are under the same umbrella of treatment, such as depressive symptoms and anxieties of various types like social anxiety. Other examples include Tics and OCD, or Panic disorder and Phobias, PTSD and OCD, combat related PTSD, SUD, and OCD. Only exception is substance abuse issues that can be clustered with mood disorders and are very common and treated simultaneously. Overall, treatment of co-occurring disorders requires clinical judgment and may not be feasible in some cases.

My training for OCD started from 2015 at Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. I was trained under supervision of some of the pioneers of ExRP at the UCLA Anxiety disorders Clinic and continued working under their supervision in their private practices until licensure. I have worked both with young adults as well as senior adults suffering from debilitating OCD and/or other related disorders. Conducted treatments for outpatient therapy as well as Intensive Outpatient treatments.

Being from a Christian but Middle Eastern background, I have personally lived through immigration, religious minority, and other experiences. Growing up in Europe and then the United States has further enhanced my ability to connect in a different way with my patients.

My Doctoral training emphasis was on Multicultural Psychology, along with being fluent in 5 different languages I understand culture specific norms and values in a different light. Having been privileged to treat our Veteran population has only added to my understanding of OCD and opened up new horizons to reduce stigmatization of OCD in various settings.
