OCD Therapy in Denver

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than being “a little neat” or liking things organized—it’s a relentless cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can take over daily life. People with OCD often describe feeling trapped in their own minds, spending hours checking, cleaning, or repeating rituals just to feel temporarily calm. These rituals can interfere with school, work, relationships, and even the simplest routines, leaving you feeling isolated and exhausted.

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Many people with OCD experience deep shame about their thoughts or behaviors, fearing that no one will understand. But there is hope—OCD is treatable, and you don’t have to live this way forever.

Find Relief from Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsions

Living with OCD can feel exhausting—endless loops of intrusive thoughts and rituals that disrupt daily life. At Therapy With A Dog, I specialize in helping clients break free from OCD patterns with compassion, evidence-based care, and the grounding presence of a therapy dog.

How I Help

At Therapy With A Dog, I specialize in evidence-based treatments for OCD that target both the thoughts and behaviors keeping you stuck.

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): Considered the gold standard for OCD, ERP helps you gradually face the fears behind your obsessions while resisting the urge to complete rituals. Over time, your brain learns that you don’t need compulsions to feel safe.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): OCD can make it feel like your thoughts define you. ACT teaches you to step back from intrusive thoughts, focus on what truly matters, and live more fully in the present.

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We’ll challenge unhelpful beliefs and create new ways of responding to anxiety.

  • Family Involvement: For children and teens, I provide parent coaching and family support to reduce accommodation of OCD rituals and strengthen coping skills.

Together, we’ll build a personalized treatment plan to help you reclaim time, freedom, and peace of mind.
