As a parent of a child suffering with the effects of OCD, I was in over my head as how to help and concerned for my child’s wellbeing. I thought I could make it better, or she might grow out of it. I eventually decided to find her professional help. I took her to see a therapist that recognized that she was suffering from OCD. The therapist referred us to Dr. Jacobsen and told us she was the best of the best. I remember being hopeful about beginning the treatment with Dr. Jacobsen but also apprehensive that maybe this won’t work for my child. I am elated and thankful to say that this treatment works. My child has her smile back and freedom from the hold that OCD had on her. She is thriving and has the tools to manage her OCD. Seeing her have her life back and knowing she will have these skill throughout her lifetime gives me great peace of mind.
