OCD
David Redbord
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MPH, LPCC
Does this sound like your experience of OCD?
You can’t stop thinking about something. In order to feel better there’s something you HAVE to do. You can’t relax without doing whatever that is. You’re preoccupied with worry over something and whatever it is you have to do feel better.
This often leads to…
Difficulty staying present. Not enjoying your life as much due to being preoccupied with something. Feeling nervous and anxious. Feeling Frustrated with having to do a behavior over and over in order to move forward.
OCD is short for obsessive-compulsive disorder which includes two issues: Obsession and Compulsion.
Obsession is when stress and worry building the system, starting with a thought about a particular issue.
A compulsion is a behavior. And unless you do the behavior, you can’t relax and move forward.
I work with clients with OCD using mindfulness.
When you notice your mind starting to get preoccupied around an obsession with something and the stress starting to build, you can notice where you feel the sensation of that worry in your body.
By staying present with that sensation, it will move and change and the worry will move through your body.
When the urge to do a compulsive behavior arises, you can likewise notice where you feel the sensation of that urge in your body and stay present with it. As you stay present with it and do not act on the urge, the sensation will move and change and the urge will pass.
In this way, we can use mindfulness to come back to the present moment and not discontinue the cycle of obsession and compulsion.
I’d be honored to support you in using mindfulness to feel better, decrease the presence of OCD in your life, and find calm presence.

Colorado OCD & Anxiety Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPC-S, LCSW
At Colorado OCD & Anxiety Treatment, we specialize in helping children, teens, and adults manage OCD with proven, evidence-based therapies.
We primarily use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), where clients face triggers in a safe, structured way while learning to resist compulsions. We also use OCD-specific CBT to address the thought patterns that maintain OCD.
For kids and teens, we include parent coaching through programs like SPACE to reduce accommodation and support progress at home. Sessions can be in-person in Boulder or Fort Collins or virtual for flexibility. Our personalized approach helps clients reduce symptoms, regain control, and build lasting confidence in daily life.

OCD
Ignite Counseling Colorado
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, CSAT
While OCD is often misunderstood as simply a need for cleanliness or organization, it is a complex anxiety disorder that can deeply affect daily life, relationships, and peace of mind. Recognizing the patterns of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors is the first step toward effective treatment and lasting relief.
Ignite Counseling Colorado is an award-winning practice specializing in evidence-based OCD treatment. Our therapists use proven approaches to help reduce anxiety, break compulsive cycles, and restore a sense of control. A core part of treatment is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard therapy for OCD. Guided by a trained therapist, ERP helps your brain learn that anxiety naturally decreases without relying on compulsions or rituals for relief.
Over time, you will build the confidence and skills to practice ERP independently, allowing you to manage symptoms more effectively long-term. When appropriate, ERP can also be integrated with trauma-focused therapies to support deeper healing and more comprehensive recovery.

OCD
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
With OCD, we typically regress to the root cause memory in a hypnotic regression, clear and process the emotional block, and pave the way forward with hypnotic programming customized to rewire you to replace the outdated programming with new healthy, calm, and desirable way of being. By literally installing new hardware, we can circumvent unhealthy impulses before they can happen, and after repeated playback of your hypnotic recording, you are carving new neural pathways with the new commands we program. Before long, the new way becomes automatic and intuitive, and you won't even have to think about it. With any hypnotic regression we do, we uncover root cause and reverse-engineer our way to the desired, healthy ways of being where you have control of your mind and feel safe again. Where you are calm and centered, organized and prepared. You are thoughtful and measured, and back to harmony and peace. I provide you with tools also you can use if you feel triggered to shift your brainwave state in only a few minutes. You will benefit from feeling emotionally regulated, comfortable in your own skin, and safe in your own mind again.

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.
