Dr. Maha Zayed opened The OCD & Anxiety Center as a way of bringing specialized, evidence-based treatments for anxiety, OCD, and related disorders to the west and south suburbs of Chicago. At OAC, our goal is to provide individualized, customized treatment plans to help inspire patients toward change and to transform their lives quickly and efficiently. At The OCD & Anxiety Center in Chicago, we treat OCD, anxiety, and related disorders so they don’t keep our patients from living the lives they want to live. Change is difficult, and our clinicians are skilled at making the change process manageable. Our talented, fun-loving team of therapists are committed to ensuring that patients achieve results quickly. We offer decades of combined experience and provide the most effective, cutting-edge treatments for OCD and anxiety-related disorders, including cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure-based interventions. Our Personalized Intensive Outpatient Program (PIOP) is for individuals who experience complicated OCD and anxiety; PIOP allows these individuals to receive individualized, expert care up to seven days per week from our specialists. Additionally, treatment can take place outside of the office as necessary to help maximize the benefits of treatment. We work with our patients to develop personalized treatment plans that meet their specific needs and help them overcome the challenges they are currently facing. We also work with children as young as three years old through adults. Lastly, we incorporate each patient’s support system into treatment as much as possible. This includes parents of children and teens, spouses/significant others, religious figures, schools/teachers, and other therapists.
