Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), including Harm OCD, Sexual OCD, and Contamination OCD
Anxiety and OCD Therapy in Englewood, CO
Anxiety and OCD are treatable. With the right approach, most people see real, lasting change, not just short-term relief, but a different relationship with fear altogether.
At Vivid Psychology Group’s Englewood office, we provide specialized, evidence-based treatment for anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, trauma, and related conditions. We work with children, teens, and adults, and we use approaches that have decades of research behind them.
Specialized Anxiety and OCD Treatment in Englewood
Many people who come to us have already spent time in therapy. What they hadn’t found yet was care that was specifically designed for what they were dealing with. Anxiety disorders and OCD respond best to targeted, structured treatment, not general support.
At our Englewood office, we treat:
You don’t need to have a diagnosis to reach out. If anxiety, OCD, or intrusive thoughts are getting in the way of your daily life, that’s enough reason to get support.
Evidence-Based Treatment That Actually Works
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We match our approach to what you need and use tools that have strong research behind them.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and many anxiety disorders. It works by gradually exposing you to the thoughts or situations that trigger fear, while teaching you to resist the urge to avoid or perform compulsions. Over time, your brain learns those situations aren’t actually dangerous. The cycle breaks.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and challenge the thought patterns that fuel anxiety. You’ll develop more accurate ways of evaluating your experiences and build practical skills you can use outside of sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches you to accept difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them call the shots. Instead of fighting your mind, you’ll learn to stay focused on what matters to you, even when anxiety shows up.
SPACE Treatment
SPACE is a parent-led treatment for childhood anxiety. Rather than focusing only on the child, it helps parents change how they respond to anxiety at home. When parents shift that pattern, kids build real resilience and the whole family benefits.
EMDR and DBT
For trauma and emotional dysregulation, we use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches help you process difficult memories and build stronger tools for managing overwhelming emotions.
Metacognitive Therapy
Metacognitive Therapy targets the worry-about-worry cycle that keeps many anxiety disorders going. Rather than focusing on the content of anxious thoughts, it changes how you relate to the process of thinking itself.
What You Can Work Toward
Support isn’t just for people in crisis. Most of our clients come to us because anxiety or OCD is making it harder to show up in their lives, and they’re ready for that to change.
In treatment, you’ll build real skills to:
Reduce the grip anxiety has on your daily decisions
Manage stress in ways that don’t keep the cycle going
Make choices with more clarity and less second-guessing
Let go of guilt and chronic self-criticism
Sleep better and stay more focused
Communicate more clearly and set limits in relationships
Every session is focused and active. You won’t just talk about anxiety. You’ll learn how it works and what to do about it.
Care for Children, Teens, and Adults
Anxiety and OCD look different at different ages, and treatment needs to reflect that. Whether we’re working with a child facing a phobia, a teenager managing intrusive thoughts, or an adult dealing with panic at work, we adapt our approach to fit the person in front of us.
For younger clients, we involve parents in meaningful ways. Anxiety grows when families inadvertently accommodate it by reassuring a child repeatedly or helping them avoid feared situations. Through SPACE and parent coaching, we help families interrupt that pattern together, which makes recovery faster and more durable.
Accessibility and What We Offer
Our Englewood office offers more than talk therapy.
Psychological assessments (including evaluations for IQ, giftedness, and behavioral patterns) provide a detailed, data-driven picture of how someone is functioning. That baseline makes treatment planning much more precise.
We also use virtual reality treatment for certain anxiety presentations. VR lets clients practice facing feared situations in a controlled, safe setting, which makes the transition to real-world exposure more effective.
We proudly participate in the Medicaid program (Colorado Access) for Regions 3 and 5, as well as CHP+ and DHMC. Medicare is available through select external clinicians. Reach out to our team for specific information about fees and scheduling.
