Weston Scott Fisher, MD

I’m a psychiatrist, and for more than a decade my work has been OCD and anxiety disorders. I trained in psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, finished in 2014, and stayed on the faculty for eight years. From 2017 to 2023 I co-directed the UCSF Anxiety and OCD Clinic, treating patients and training the residents who are now psychiatrists themselves.

I started Anxiety Relief Clinic so I could spend my time with patients. Everything I do here comes from those years. Careful diagnosis, because OCD and anxiety are often mislabeled. Medication used well, which in OCD means the right drug at the right dose for long enough. And respect for the therapy that does the heavy lifting, exposure therapy.

How I work

  • I listen first. The first visit is about an hour, and most of it is you talking.
  • I tell you what I think is going on, in plain words, and what the options are. Medication is one of them. I don’t push it.
  • If you need an exposure therapist, I will help you find one, and I will stay in contact with them.
  • I see you every one to three months, and sooner if something comes up.

Beyond the clinic

  • I built Conicia, a step-by-step OCD program on your phone, so that what I teach in the clinic reaches people who can’t get to a specialist. Clinic patients with OCD get it free, and anyone can start for free. About Conicia
  • During the pandemic I led the move to video visits for a large psychiatry department, which is part of why this clinic was built for video from the start.
  • I answer questions about OCD on Reddit as u/DrWestonFisher.
