OCD
Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
Are you obsessing inside and performing internal (thought) or behavioral compulsions to try to manage your anxiety? Is it getting worse? Is it interrupting your life and frustrating the people who care about you? You can improve with help.
I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, which is an evidence-based OCD treatment and is tailored to be challenging but not overwhelming. We set small, achievable goals each session. I do a lot of this work and get very good results. Be prepared for practice in between sessions as part of ERP so you can live more fully in the ways you want.

OCD
Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Being authentic matters to me. I show up as a real person in the therapy room, and I want you to feel like you can do the same. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and unpack everything you’ve been carrying: the stress, the thoughts you keep to yourself, the experiences you’ve been through, and all the stuff life has handed you. When people feel safe enough to be honest and real, that’s when therapy really helps.
I’m informal, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe that the relationship between us is far more important than any technique or theory. When you feel comfortable, understood, and really seen, you’re more likely to take risks, speak your truth, and make real changes.
That said, I do bring strong clinical training when it’s useful. I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. REBT is one tool in my toolbox and something we can use to help you understand and challenge your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and create new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life in general. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly structured. It’s a conversation. It’s two humans sitting down, figuring things out together.
If you’re motivated to change, to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to get clearer about where you want your life to go, I can help you.

OCD
Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I provide prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for OCD. In this type of treatment, you learn skills to regulate anxiety as it arises in response to environmental triggers, and work on using these skills in session when faced with a compulsion-triggering stimulus. We focus on psychoeducation on obsessional thinking and compulsive behavior patterns, and gradually work with you to use skills instead of engaging in compulsions, so you can have more time and and attention for your relationships, interests, and passions.

I work with OCD by using evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you confront intrusive thoughts and break free from compulsive behaviors. Together, we’ll challenge the cycles of anxiety and ritualistic actions, focusing on building tolerance to discomfort and developing healthier ways to cope. My goal is to help you regain control and reduce the impact OCD has on your daily life.

I use a combination of ERP (the gold standard treatment for OCD) and IFS/ parts work to treat OCD. This approach helps us break the obsessive-compulsive cycle, while deepening self-understanding and practicing self-kindness every step of the way.

OCD
Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce OCD - a disorder that is very time consuming and debilitating. This kind of work is so very difficult, but for those that can make it into therapy and take advantage of exposure and response prevention, the results are astounding.

OCD
Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD requires specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. In fact, when it comes to OCD, they could be making things worse! The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD with decades of research showing that they actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD, and I also address co-occurring anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.

Katie Steinert
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Is your OCD taking center stage in your life? Has it been consuming your time and energy? Examples of common obsessions include germs/contamination, fear of causing harm, and fear of losing control. Examples of common compulsions are checking, cleaning, and repeating actions. I take an evidence-based approach to OCD treatment with the use of ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) based in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) principles. I'll work with you to re-connect with your values, minimize OCD's power, and reclaim your life.

Aurora is one of Colorado's most ethnically diverse cities and home to Buckley Space Force Base, creating a therapy community shaped by both military families and a remarkably multicultural civilian population that includes large communities from East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The city's proximity to Denver and its own rapidly expanding healthcare sector — anchored by Children's Hospital Colorado and UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus — give it significant institutional mental health resources and a large population of healthcare workers navigating occupational stress. Therapists experienced with military trauma, refugee resettlement, and bicultural identity serve distinct and important roles in Aurora's clinical landscape. The city's rapid growth has accelerated demand for therapists who specialize in life transitions and the challenges of building community in a fast-changing suburban environment.
