About us

We are a team of anxiety therapists in Denver, CO that have devoted our careers to helping people end the suffering caused by anxiety and OCD. We are passionate about our work and strive to be excellent at what we do, so you can feel confident that you are getting the best quality of care available.

For all the reasons below, we are able to successfully help many clients who have not had therapy work for them before.

What makes us unique?

1. We are highly specialized.

Our practice is unusual in that we are focused exclusively on helping people who have anxiety and OCD. Most therapists are generalists, meaning they treat people with lots of different types of problems. But anxiety and OCD are not like other problems. They offer unique challenges that often require the help of a specialist. Our specialization means that our therapists have a high level of experience, knowledge, and a history of success in treating anxiety and OCD. You deserve to go to a therapist who can hear your story and say “I’ve seen this a million times, I know exactly how to help you.” For anxiety and OCD, that’s us.

Bottom line: Your thoughts may seem crazy to you, but not to us.  And we know how to help you with them.

2. We get real results by using evidence-based treatment methods.

We practice evidence-based therapy, which means that we only use treatment methods that have been proven effective in research studies.

Decades of research have shown that a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy called Exposure Therapy is the most effective treatment for all types of anxiety and OCD. Unfortunately, training in this method is hard to obtain, so not enough therapists actually use it. But we have spent our entire careers specializing in Exposure Therapy specifically for anxiety and OCD.

We also support and adapt our exposure work with other evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness meditation.

3. We do not just sit there and listen to you: We show you the exact steps to take to get relief from your anxiety.

Therapy at Anxiety Solutions is a very active process. We understand that you are coming into therapy because you want relief. So we will not merely sit and talk to you about the anxiety, we will show you what to DO about it. We will demonstrate and practice with you exactly what steps to take when you get anxious so that your anxiety gets better. We will clearly explain what to do and why it will work. Our goal in our counseling is to help you start getting relief from anxiety as quickly as possible.

4. The type of therapy we do typically works relatively quickly.

We know you want relief and it is our goal to show you how to make that happen as quickly as possible. On average, a full course of treatment at our practice typically takes about 10 to 20 sessions, which is consistent with what research studies say about how long treatment usually takes for anxiety and OCD; so if you are coming in once a week (which is typical), treatment usually lasts several months. However, you should begin to see some gradual improvements earlier in the process once you start consistently implementing the strategies we give you on your own outside of sessions.

Bear in mind that some clients have quicker treatments than this and some clients have longer (and occasionally much longer) treatments than this depending on what you need, but 10-20 sessions is a good rough estimate. We strive to get you what you need and make ourselves unnecessary for you as quickly as we can.

5. We adapt our treatment methods to your needs.

Our specialization also gives us more experience tailoring our treatment methods to clients’ specific needs and different ways that anxiety and OCD present themselves. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all, cookie cutter process, and one of the ways that the skill of a therapist shows up is in their ability to adapt proven treatment methods to work around potential barriers to treatment and fit with how you think and what is actually going to work for you. You want a therapist who has a “filing cabinet” in their head of clients like you that they’ve helped before and what worked for those clients so that they can adapt it to work best for you.

Your feedback is an important part of this process too and we strive to be flexible: while there is sometimes no getting around having to do difficult things to get over an anxiety problem, we work to adapt the process when you tell us you are having trouble with it.

6. We give extra support between therapy sessions.

Because we are committed to making sure your anxiety therapy works, we are happy to answer questions and offer guidance between sessions via phone or email. We will do whatever it takes to help you get better.

Please note that we do not offer after-hours or on-call crisis services; therapists return calls and emails as promptly as they can during their business hours.

7. Outstanding customer service

Your actual therapy sessions are not the only part of your experience with our practice; we also pride ourselves on the quality of the work done by our wonderful admin team. We want all aspects of scheduling and billing to be easy. That means when you call, email, or chat with us, you will either reach us immediately or hear back very quickly. You will be greeted by a friendly, compassionate team member who will answer your questions and get you set up to get started with us.  And we also offer features like online scheduling and automated billing to make things as easy as possible.
