Getting support shouldn't feel impossible.

- Coordinate care between therapists, psychiatrists, and healthcare providers
- Help connect patients with ERP-trained therapists and OCD-specialized providers
- Navigate Medicare coverage for mental health services and treatments

Accessing Specialized Mental
Health Care
OCD, BDD, and related conditions require specific treatment approaches — and not every therapist has training in ERP, which is the most effective therapy for OCD. Finding the right provider, especially one who accepts Medicare, can feel like a full-time job. Amma advocates help patients coordinate appointments, organize referrals, and navigate the process of accessing specialized mental health care so that treatment can begin without unnecessary delays.
Coordinating Treatment &
Ongoing Support
Treatment for OCD and related disorders often involves ongoing therapy, medication management, and coordination between mental health providers and primary care physicians. Keeping treatment organized while managing daily symptoms is a significant and ongoing challenge. Amma advocates help patients stay organized by coordinating healthcare logistics, supporting provider communication, and helping centralize important medical information throughout the care journey.
Support for Patients & Families
Who've Struggled in Silence
OCD and related conditions often carry significant shame and stigma — leading many patients to delay treatment for years. Hoarding disorder in particular can create barriers that make healthcare coordination especially complex. Amma advocates provide compassionate, non-judgmental support throughout the healthcare journey — helping patients and families feel more informed, organized, and empowered to access the care and support they deserve.
Real Results. Real Relief.
"April has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my mom. One would think that as a practicing physician I wouldn't need this type of assistance but the modern medical system has become so complex and difficult to navigate I don't see how anyone does it without this type of assistance
She has bent over backwards to make sure that communication occurs in a closed loop fashion often using email, text and phone calls. This type of proactive assistance has helped us to do far more for my mom's condition that I would ever be able to coordinate on my own."
