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.

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.

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.

Sarah Malone
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
OCD is more than habits or quirks - it can make the mind feel like a constant battleground that gets stuck on thoughts and rituals that feel urgent and unavoidable. It's a serious condition that can interfere with work, relationships and self-esteem. Through specialized OCD therapy, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I will help you confront fears safely, interrupt compulsive cycles, and regain control over your thoughts and behaviors so that you can reclaim your life.

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.
