Michael jenike biography

I am pleased to announce that one of our two Grand Marshals for the 2014 1 Million Steps 4 OCD Walk in Boston is Dr. Michael Jenike.

I have known Mike since 2001 when I began working as a staff psychologist at McLean Hospital’s OCD Institute (OCDI).

In fact, Mike is the co-founder of the OCDI and has been the medical director since it opened in 1997 as the first residential treatment program in the United States for individuals with OCD.

While I’ve only known Mike personally since 2001, I’d known of Dr.

Michael Jenike for many years before then: Mike is a pioneer in the field of OCD, and his name is synonymous with the very best in care for people living with OCD and related disorders. I have seen this first hand. He also has a pretty impressive resume!

In addition to being the Medical Director of the OCDI, he is a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Founder of the OCD Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Chair of the Scientific and Clinical Advisory Board
