psychiatrist or PMHNP for OCD diagnosis?

*edited to remove the word provider

hi everyone! i’ve recently started exploring an OCD diagnosis with my therapist in the last couple of weeks. My next step is to get a clinical assessment done to see if i fit the criteria for an official diagnosis (my therapist believes i do but he obviously can’t give me an official clinical diagnosis). If i do end up receiving an OCD diagnosis I’d likely want to continue seeing the MD/DO or PMHNP for medication management and possibly ERP therapy if they specialize in it. I’ve been searching for a psychiatrist and have found that there are very few available with search results yielding mostly PMHNPs. I really would like to see a MD/DO but my options are extremely limited and there’s longer wait times to even get an initial assessment done. Would waiting to see one of few MD/DOs available to me really be worth it?
