You Can Stop Your Struggle with Anxiety
&nbsp;
Did you know that anxiety is one of the most treatable problems that clients bring to therapy?
This is true IF you’re working with an experienced therapist who is trained in effective treatment approaches.
Research shows that the anxiety counseling techniques we use work better than other methods.
&nbsp;

If you’re seeking a psychologist for anxiety or OCD, you’ve probably been struggling with anxiety for some time. You may have seen other therapists. You’ve worked hard to try to control it, but nothing has worked.

Anxiety. Worry. Fear.

These feelings are so familiar – In fact, they might feel like your constant (unwanted) companions.

It could be a general uneasiness that you feel and a preoccupation and worry about what is going to happen in the future. OR, perhaps sometimes you think you’re going crazy or that you’ll feel anxious forever. Whatever the case…

You’re desperate for relief.

At Anxiety Solutions, we specialize solely in the treatment of anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Our therapy clients come from all walks of life and experience moderate to severe anxiety.
Here are some things our counseling clients say when they come to see us:

 	

 	“I can’t stop worrying. I always imagine the absolute worst is going to happen.”
 	“My anxiety (or OCD) is out of control. I am afraid I’m always going to feel this way.”
 	“I am so nervous and shy in social situations that I avoid them like the plague. If I do try to be social, I feel so much fear that my mind goes blank and I can’t say anything!”
 	“Sometimes my heart races and my breathing becomes so fast that I feel like I am going to die.”
 	“Is this actually anxiety or is something wrong with my body?”
 	“I obsess all the time. I get these terrible thoughts in my head that I can’t get out no matter how hard I try. I repeat the same behaviors over and over just to get relief. It makes me feel crazy.”
 	“I just want to be like a normal person. I feel hopeless sometimes.”



&nbsp;
The types of anxiety we treat in our counseling practice include:

 	

 	

 	Over-Worrying About What Could Happen (Generalized Anxiety Disorder):This type of anxiety occurs when you spend a lot of your time worrying excessively. It could be your relationship, your finances, your health, or your job. It seems there is always something you have to feel anxious about. You simply can’t control it. It completely takes over your life at times.
 	Panic Attacks (Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia):When anxiety gets very severe, you might feel panicky and fear that something is seriously wrong with you. Your heart can pound and you can have trouble breathing. It might feel so intense-even painful- that you might be terrified that you’ll actually die. Or it may feel like you’ll lose control of yourself completely.
 	Constant Obsessing (OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder):If you are someone who obsesses constantly, can’t stop repeating certain behaviors, or has been diagnosed with OCD, your life is likely very stressful. It might seem impossible to function with any kind of normalcy. You may feel like your situation is hopeless. You may fear you will never have a normal life. It can feel like your obsessions and compulsions are completely destroying your life.
 	Fear of Social Situations (Social Anxiety Disorder):You might dread social functions and either make an excuse to get out of them or try to become invisible in the corner of the room, hoping no one will notice you. You never know what to say to people. You want to have more friends but don’t know how. In its most extreme form, social anxiety can be so debilitating that you might keep yourself locked away at home.





At Anxiety Solutions, We Have a Proven Track Record of Treating ALL Forms of Anxiety Whether your anxiety is interfering in your daily life or is totally debilitating, we can help you:

 	

 	

 	Dramatically reduce anxious feelings.
 	Be able to do anything without anxiety stopping you.
 	Live more in the “here and now” and enjoy life.
 	Feel more comfortable in social situations. You may be surprised to discover that you have more social skills than you think once you deal with your anxiety.
 	Make decisions more easily, more quickly and with greater confidence.
 	Sleep better.
 	Feel more at ease and at peace with yourself. You can finally feel like a normal person.





&nbsp;
Skeptical That Our Anxiety Therapy Will Really Help?
You might have trouble believing that it’s possible to finally be relieved of your overwhelming worries and fears. When you’ve been struggling for a long time, this is not at all surprising.
Perhaps it will help if we tell you why we feel we are best suited to help you:

 	

 	

 	We practice a specialized, research-proven form of anxiety therapy.Research shows that Exposure Therapy (a type of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) is the absolute most effective form of treatment for anxiety. The problem is that few therapists are trained in this method. We are among the few in Denver who are trained in and practice Exposure Therapy.This is why we are able to get results even if other types of counseling have not worked for you before.
 	We are anxiety specialists.We spend all our professional time studying and treating anxiety and related problems. We stay up-to-date with the latest research and only treat anxiety patients. You can be sure you are receiving treatments based on current science from experienced experts.
 	You don’t have to worry that your type of anxiety is too ”weird” or unusual for us.People often come in thinking they have a special, unique, or weird type of anxiety that will be new to us, but this is rarely the case. We have experience with everyday anxiety or what may seem like the most bizarre symptoms. You can feel confident that regardless of what form your anxiety takes, we’ll understand and be able to help.
 	We go above and beyond what most therapy provides:We will teach you what to DO about anxiety.Sure we’re empathic and supportive because we know how frustrating and depressing an anxiety disorder can be. But we offer so much more than just a person to talk to- we are active, direct and actually show you techniques that WILL help with your anxiety.We even take it one-step further –we’ll do just about everything that we ask you to do with you. We’ll actually be with you as you work through your fears. We’ll go with you to wherever we need to go in order to help you deal with your anxiety—whether it’s your home or some place you’ve been scared to go. Our counseling sessions are action-oriented and get proven results.
 	We provide extra support outside of scheduled sessions.We also offer phone or email guidance in between counseling sessions when you need extra support. In short, we do whatever it takes to help you get the relief you deserve. We act as your partner; we want you to get better.
 	We offer evening and Saturday appointments.We know you may be busy during work hours on weekdays, so we offer convenient scheduling in the evenings and all day Saturday (depending on which therapist you see).

#### Adult OCD
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text css=""]
You don’t have to suffer with OCD.
&nbsp;
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can be truly debilitating…
The good news is that it IS treatable with help from an experienced OCD specialist.
In fact, research has proven that most people with OCD who get proper therapy decrease or eliminate their obsessions, compulsions, and anxiety.
Our approach to OCD treatment (Exposure and Response Prevention) is the ONLY type of counseling that is reliably proven to work for OCD.
&nbsp;

There are few problems in life that cause as much suffering as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. If you are seeking a counselor for OCD, you may feel totally hopeless and believe that nothing is ever going to help.

OCD may be making you feel crazy for having certain thoughts. You have probably tried to “just stop thinking about it” but found that this only makes it worse. No matter how hard you try to tell yourself your fears are irrational, you can’t stop doing your compulsions. Then you can feel stupid for not being able to get rid of it. It’s like you can’t do anything until you satisfy your obsessions.

You might even feel that you are a terrible person for having your OCD thoughts. It’s embarrassing and you might try to hide it from people out of shame and guilt.

Worst of all, it can seem like your OCD will never go away. You may feel you’ll have to suffer like this for the rest of your life.

But there is a part of you that would do almost anything to rid yourself of OCD.

At Anxiety Solutions of Denver, we specialize solely in providing counseling to those with anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We have successfully helped people with even the most severe cases of OCD.
Here are some things our OCD therapy clients say when they seek our help:

 	“I get these terrible thoughts in my head that I can’t get rid of no matter how hard I try.”
 	“Am I crazy?”
 	“Everything seems dirty. I am so afraid of getting sick that I just don’t want to do anything.”
 	“I get these horrifying thoughts about the people I love getting hurt or killed. I don’t understand why I think such terrible things. I feel so guilty about it.”
 	“I can’t stop thinking blasphemous thoughts that go against my beliefs. I’m afraid I’ll end up going to Hell because of it but I still can’t stop the thoughts!”
 	“I always have to check everything before I leave the house. Sometimes I just stay at home because I don’t even want to bother.”
 	“It takes me forever-sometimes even hours-to do simple things like getting dressed, taking a shower, or eating.”
 	“I know my fears are irrational, but I still can’t stop.”
 	“I am afraid I’m always going to feel this way. Will I be stuck with this forever?”
 	“I don’t want to do my compulsions but I feel like I have to. I just can’t stop.”
 	“I just want to be like a normal person. I feel hopeless sometimes.”

&nbsp;
OCD comes in many forms.
In fact, there are so many variations of OCD that it is impossible to list them all, but here are some of the most common types of OCD that we treat:

 	Fears of getting dirty or catching a disease: Often this leads to fear of coming into contact with bodily fluids, germs, or chemicals. For some, it just means being afraid of feeling dirty. Others may worry about being responsible for getting other people contaminated.

In any case, if you have contamination fears, you probably avoid touching many things, especially in public. This may keep you from going to certain places or participating in social outings. You probably wash or sanitize your hands frequently in order to feel clean.


 	Fears of harming others: Some people with OCD are tortured by thoughts about other people being harmed or even dying. It might even feel like you can cause this to happen just by thinking about it. You probably feel guilty and wonder why you think such terrible thoughts. You may even feel like a bad person because of the thoughts.
 	Fear of losing control: You may fear that you will lose control of yourself and act out some unwanted impulse. Many people with this fear worry that they will suddenly hurt someone (for example, with a knife), turn their car off the road, or yell out something inappropriate in public.
 	Unwanted sexual thoughts: People with this type of OCD obsess about what society might deem to be forbidden or perverse sexual thoughts. You may even fear that you have some sort of unwanted sexual desire, like being attracted to children or family members. You probably feel quite ashamed and confused by these thoughts.
 	Checking rituals: One of the most common types of OCD is when you need to check things repeatedly to make sure they are a certain way. For example, you may check repeatedly that doors are locked, that the parking brake is on, or that you turned off the lights or the stove properly. You feel like you have to be absolutely certain that the thing you’re checking is “right”. This may take up a lot of your time and leave you feeling exasperated.
 	Religious obsessions: If you are a spiritual or religious person, you may have unwanted thoughts that could be blasphemous in your religion or offensive towards God. You probably worry that God will be angry with you. You may even be afraid that God will punish you or you will go to Hell for these thoughts.
 	Fears about relationships: Individuals with relationship OCD experience obsessions related to the fear of important relationships not working out or ending poorly. For example, many obsess about whether or not their partner is as invested in their relationship as they are. Others compulsively analyze whether or not their partner is a good match for them. These fears and worries often make it difficult to enjoy and commit to the relationship itself.
 	Existential OCD: If you have existential OCD, you may find yourself feeling what many describe as "existential doom." Individuals with this type of OCD obsess about the meaning and purpose of life. They often find themselves consumed by various philosophical questions and worry that life may be meaningless if they cannot solve the questions like "Why am I here?" and "What am I supposed to do?" If you have this type of OCD, you may also find it difficult to commit to a life path and enjoy activities due to the idea that you need to know why you "should" be doing what you are doing before taking action.

#### Agoraphobia
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text css=""]
Are you feeling trapped by agoraphobia?
&nbsp;
Agoraphobia can be extremely confining and life-limiting…
The great news is that agoraphobia is treatable with the help of an anxiety specialist.
In fact, research has proven that most people with agoraphobia who engage in our evidence-based treatment decrease their anxiety about being trapped or unable to access help and get back to living a full life without restrictions.
&nbsp;
Our approach to agoraphobia treatment (Exposure and Response Prevention)  is reliably proven to work for agoraphobia.
There are few mental health problems that can tangibly limit one's ability move about the world as significantly as agoraphobia. The disorder is characterized by a fear of situations in which escape might be difficult and help may be hard to come by.

If you suffer from agoraphobia, you may feel very anxious about leaving the house, driving your car, or going anywhere in which there is a chance of becoming stuck. You may feel as though the options for how to spend your time are gradually becoming fewer and fewer. New experiences and unfamiliar places are often very intimidating. The frustration of becoming increasingly anxious in places you were once comfortable in can be both frustrating and confusing. You may also find yourself exhausted from "powering through" daily tasks.

However, part of you is yearning to get back to the activities and lifestyle you once enjoyed.

At Anxiety Solutions of Denver, we specialize solely in providing counseling to those with anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We have successfully helped people with even the most severe symptoms of agoraphobia.

&nbsp;
Agoraphobia manifests in a variety of ways.
Some of the things we hear our patients with agoraphobia saying are as follows:

 	"I immediately identify all of the exits as soon as I enter a new place."
 	"I am so tired of driving the long way to work to avoid the possibility of getting stuck in traffic."
 	"I can't go to the movies with my kids anymore because I'll have to leave if I can't find an isle seat."
 	"It is so embarrassing that I can't sit in a booth when my family goes out to dinner. I feel like I'm holding them back."
 	"I'd love to get back to travelling but getting on a plane doesn't feel possible anymore."
 	"I get so overwhelmed leaving my house. That is the only place I feel safe anymore."

&nbsp;
At Anxiety Solutions of Denver, We Use a Research-Proven Method That Successfully Treats Agoraphobia
Even if you have trouble leaving the comfort of your home, we can help you:

 	Significantly reduce the anxiety you feel about becoming trapped and helpless.

#### Boise job listing
Psychologist/therapist position available at our Boise office
We are a group private practice specializing in anxiety disorders and OCD. We have offices in multiple cities and we are seeking a new therapist for our Boise office.
We offer all the perks of private practice (good pay, flexibility in setting your schedule, lots of vacation time, generally a low-risk clientele to work with) but without any of the pain points of private practice (having to do marketing to get clients, administrative work, startup costs and overhead, managing a business). You also get to be part of a great team of people to work with and have consultation and support readily available.

We take care of all of the work of marketing and getting clients. We have a dedicated administrative staff that handles scheduling and billing (for all of our offices), so administrative work for our therapists is kept to a minimum. Other than training/consultation and minimal paperwork requirements, your time will be spent doing the actual clinical work.

Your client load will be almost entirely clients with anxiety disorders and OCD. A small percentage of your caseload will also be working with PTSD, trichotillomania, and skin picking disorder. All treatment is one-on-one individual therapy. Most of your clients will be adults but we would ideally like someone who is open to seeing adolescent clients as well. Someone open to seeing younger children would also be a major plus.

We are most interested in finding someone who already has specialized training and experience treating anxiety and OCD using exposure therapy, but we are open to applicants with less experience with this specialty. We also have a strong emphasis on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, so if you have experience with ACT, that is helpful as well. 
Depending on level of prior experience with anxiety/OCD, exposure therapy, and ACT; there will be a training/case consultation component for the first 6 months to a year to train you up on doing this type of work.

We would ideally like to find a licensed psychologist but are open to Master's-level therapists as well.  At minimum, a master's or doctoral degree in clinical or counseling psychology or social work is required.

Starting compensation would also be based on experience level. Our therapists' compensation is based on a percentage of the fees that they collect from clients. If you are a psychologist who already has experience and training in treating anxiety and OCD, you would earn 60% of the fees that you collect. We will go over the full math of how this works out during your interview, but with a full caseload, that comes out to $100,000 per year. Those with master's degrees and/or less experience and training in anxiety and OCD would start at 50 to 55% of fees collected, depending on degree and level of prior experience, and eventually go up to 60% after training is complete.

Qualifications we are looking for, in order of importance:

Passion for treating anxiety and OCD and strong desire to spend your career in this area.
Prior experience specializing in anxiety and OCD
Behavioral theoretical orientation
Training in and experience using exposure therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

We believe we are a great place to work. Our organizational philosophy is that happy therapists lead to happy clients, so we are big promoters of good self-care, burnout prevention, time off, and not having to take work home. Your total work time per week should be around 35 hours.

Anxiety Solutions is serious about embracing diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better we will be at our core values of being effective therapists and making top-quality care for anxiety and OCD available to all.

Applications should be emailed to Dr. Michael Stein at drstein@anxietysolutionsofdenver.com and should include a CV/resume, cover letter (please include a brief description of your theoretical orientation), and contact info for at least 3 references familiar with your clinical work (past or current clinical supervisors are preferable if possible).

We are looking forward to meeting you!

#### Child/Teen OCD
Child/Teen OCD Therapists in Denver

Your child does not have to be stuck with OCD

Watching your child or teen suffer with OCD can be torture. You want them to feel better, but you don’t know what to do.

Rest assured, we can help. At Anxiety Solutions, we specialize in treating OCD.

We use the ONLY treatment method that has been reliably proven to work for children and teens with OCD.If your child is struggling with OCD, you probably feel frustrated and stuck. You see your child perform strange behaviors that don’t make any sense. Yet no matter how hard you try, you cannot get them to stop.

This may have led to tantrums and fights, and still nothing seems to work. You are probably at your wit’s end.

You get frustrated, but at the same time you hurt for them because you know how anxious they are and how much they are suffering. You know they want to get better, but you don’t know how to help them get unstuck.

You just want them to have a normal life.

You see your child’s life starting to slip away as the OCD shuts them down more and more. You’re fighting to keep them afloat, but you want something that will save their future and get them back to being a happy, normal child.

You may have even taken them to therapy already, but it didn’t work.

OCD really requires the help of a specialist. At Anxiety Solutions, we specialize in helping children and teens with OCD. We practice a unique, proven treatment method for OCD that really works.

Here are some things parents often say when they bring their child or teen with OCD to see us:

“It takes him forever to do pretty much anything. Even simple things like getting dressed in the morning or showering can take hours.”

“She won’t touch anything she thinks is dirty and she washes her hands all the time. I don’t understand why she keeps doing it.”

“My son does strange things like opening and closing doors over and over or tapping things repeatedly. It makes no sense to me!”

“She said she has thoughts about terrible things happening: thoughts about the family being killed or getting sick. Why would she think about that? Is that OCD?”

“She always asks me if everything’s going to be ok, but no matter how many times I reassure her, she always needs more.”

“We get into such awful fights when he does his rituals. I can’t get him to stop and it drives me nuts!”

“I have some OCD tendencies too. Is this genetic? Is it my fault? Did I somehow teach her to be this way?”

“Will my son ever get better? Can he ever be a normal kid again?”

There are many different types of OCD.

Here are some of the most common types of OCD in children and teens and some behaviors parents typically see. These behaviors may seem odd and confusing, but we see them in the children and teens we treat all the time.

Fear of getting sick or being dirty (fear of “contamination”):&nbsp;
Many children with OCD worry about coming into contact with germs, bacteria, or other people’s bodily fluids. Others worry more generally about just being dirty.Common behaviors parents see in children with this fear:

Repetitive hand-washing.

Refusing to touch certain things.

Reluctance or refusal to go to school.

Avoidance of “dirty” people or places.

Getting angry when family members touch their possessions.

Intrusive thoughts about terrible things happening:&nbsp;
Children with this type of OCD have intrusive thoughts about dreaded events like the death of a family member or being kidnapped. They may fear that they can cause these things to happen just by thinking about them, unless they prevent it by doing rituals.Common behaviors parents see in children with this fear:

Repeating simple, routine actions (e.g. opening and closing doors, standing up and sitting down).

Doing things repeatedly a certain “good” number of times.&nbsp;

Praying that the thought does not come true.

Repeating things until they feel “just right”.

Asking for reassurance (e.g. “Are we going to be ok?”) over and over.

Taking a very long time to do simple tasks like getting dressed, taking a shower, or getting ready for bed.

Taking a very long time to do homework.

Checking doors to make sure they are locked.

Checking light switches to make sure they are off.

Checking to make sure the stove is off.

Checking that things are not dirty or contaminated.

Praying to “undo” bad thoughts.

Repeating simple actions (e.g. opening and closing doors) until they can do them without having a bad thought.

Reluctance to attend religious services out of fear that it will trigger bad thoughts.

Touching or tapping things a certain “right” way

Repeating simple, routine behaviors

Counting and needing to end on a certain number or type of number (e.g. odds or evens).

At Anxiety Solutions, Our Proven TechniquesWill Help Your Child or Teen Defeat OCD

No matter what type of obsessions or compulsions your child has, we can help them:

Dramatically reduce anxiety.

Put a stop to rituals and compulsions.

Stop obsessing.

Carry out daily life tasks at a normal pace.

Do anything without OCD stopping them.

Show them exactly what to do when OCD gets triggered.

Show you exactly how to respond to your child’s OCD behaviors.

Function comfortably at school and do homework at a normal pace.

Feel like a normal, happy kid again.

Think how much time, energy, and emotion will be saved by taking OCD out of the equation. You and your family will feel more relaxed and at peace. Home life will be more harmonious. You will be able to enjoy time with your child again.

No matter how much they are suffering right now, they can return to a normal, healthy life…IF they get proper treatment from an OCD specialist.

How can you be sure you are choosing the best therapist for your child?

Because we are specialists in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is the ONLY type of therapy that has been proven to work for children and teens with OCD.

ERP focuses on helping your child confront their fears and change their compulsive behavior, which research (and our own experience) has shown leads to dramatic relief of OCD symptoms.

#### Child/Teen Social Anxiety
We can help your child overcome social anxiety.

Is your child excessively shy? Do they have trouble making friends?

If you are worried because you see your child suffering with social anxiety, there is good news:

Counseling with an experienced social anxiety specialist really works.

Research shows that children and teens with social anxiety respond very well to our unique, specialized treatment methods.

It can be so painful and frustrating as a parent to watch your child pass up opportunities to make friends.

Perhaps they get invited to parties and sleepovers but don’t want to go. They may have a few close friends but refuse to branch out beyond this limited social circle. They probably seem pretty quiet…but it can be confusing, because they may be animated and talkative in some situations, but shy and reserved in others.

Children with social anxiety can be quite stubborn: you might have a hard time getting them to go to parties, sports, or even school. You are sympathetic to their pain but also frustrated and maybe even angry with them.

You wish they would just open up and make more friends so they can be happier, but you just can’t get them to do it.

Some common characteristics that parents often notice in children and teens with social anxiety:

They get embarrassed easily.

They avoid spending time with peers outside of a few close friends.&nbsp;

Excessive self-consciousness: They feel like everyone is watching them and judging them.

They are shy and have a hard time making new friends.

Over-sensitivity to criticism: They are anxious about being criticized and get very upset when receiving negative feedback, even if it’s presented gently.

Fear of going to school: They may ask you to let them stay home or come pick them up early on certain days. They might even act sick or refuse to go to school.

They don’t like going to crowded places with lots of people, like the mall or restaurants.

They frequently refuse invitations to parties or other social activities.

If your child is exhibiting any of these symptoms, you have probably tried hard to get them out of their comfort zone. Perhaps you’ve even taken them to a therapist before but nothing changed.

You might feel hopeless that anything can get them out of their shell. But there is hope…

At Anxiety Solutions, we use unique treatment methods that are PROVEN to reduce social anxiety in children and teens

We know how to relate to children and teens with social anxiety. We can help them:

Reduce or eliminate social anxiety

Feel comfortable with their peers

Be less sensitive to criticism and feedback

Start going to parties and accepting social invitations

Feel confident in social situations

Open up and be more talkative

Make more friends

Stop trying to avoid school

Enjoy life and feel normal

After using our proven treatment methods, your child can have a normal, happy social life. You will see them open up and blossom in front of your eyes. They will be more easygoing and content. They will be happier, which will make you happier as a parent.

Why choose us to help your child or teen with their social anxiety?

Because we are anxiety specialists.

Unlike most therapists, who treat clients with a wide variety of psychological issues, our practice is focused solely on treating anxiety and related problems.

This means that we have spent much more time helping children and teens with social anxiety than your average therapist. We have more knowledge, more experience, and a bigger track record of success with social anxiety. We know how to get kids and teens (even stubborn ones!) moving and out of their comfort zone.

Click here to learn more about what makes us different from other therapists.

We also use the most well-researched, proven technique for helping kids with social anxiety: Exposure Therapy.

In Exposure Therapy, we go above and beyond what most therapists do for kids with social anxiety:

We actively practice social skills with your child with real people outside of our office.

Very few therapists in the areas where we are located use this valuable technique of actually going out of the office to practice talking to real people. We believe there is no better way to increase a child’s social skills and confidence than to go out and practice for real with a supportive partner to guide them.

Because we use this unique, active approach, we have success even with children and teens who have tried other types of therapy before but found them unhelpful.

No matter how anxious your child is or how helpless you feel, we are confident that we can help them overcome their social anxiety and enjoy a normal, fun social life.

#### Children/Teens
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class="content_black_color"][vc_column width="2/3" el_class="hidden-map-box"][vc_column_text css=""]

&nbsp;

Is Your Child Overly Worried or Fearful?

&nbsp;

As a parent, it is understandable to be concerned and confused if your child or teen appears highly anxious.


Fortunately, your child can be helped by an experienced anxiety therapist.

We use a unique anxiety counseling approach that is proven to provide excellent results with children and teens.
 In fact, research shows that the type of therapy we use works better for anxiety and obsessive behaviors in children and teens than ANY other method.
If you are looking for help with your child or adolescent’s excessive insecurities, fears or obsessive behaviors (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD) you are probably feeling confused and helpless.
Having an anxious child or teen can be incredibly difficult. It hurts to watch your child suffer. You don’t know why they get so anxious sometimes and you don’t know what to do when it happens. You probably feel frustrated and worried about their future.
You wonder how it all started. You wonder why they get anxious at certain times but not others. You might even wonder if it’s your fault.
Perhaps your child’s anxiety is causing them to fail at school and miss out on social opportunities. Or their anxiety makes them defiant and you cannot get them to listen to you. It may even seem like the whole family has gotten sucked into dealing with your child’s anxiety. You feel like you’ve tried everything you can think of, but nothing works.
You are desperate for relief, for both your child and yourself.
At Anxiety Solutions, we specialize in treating children and teens with anxiety and OCD. Unlike many other therapists or psychologists, our practice is highly focused on anxiety.



Here are some things parents often say when they bring their anxious child to therapy:







“I have no idea what to do when my child gets anxious. Nothing works. It’s out of control.”


&nbsp;


“I feel helpless. I want to make my child stop worrying, but I can’t.”


&nbsp;


“My teen is doing poorly in school because of the anxiety. What will happen to him if this doesn’t get better?


&nbsp;


“My child won’t talk to other kids. I’m worried she won’t make friends.”


&nbsp;


“My child doesn’t listen when they get anxious.”


&nbsp;


“I don’t understand why this is happening. Is this my fault?”


&nbsp;


"I get so angry with them but I feel guilty about that…I just don’t know what to do."


&nbsp;


"Will they always be so fearful? "



The types of anxiety we treat in our counseling practice include:

&nbsp;




Worrying Too Much About What Might Go Wrong (Generalized Anxiety Disorder):Your child may spend a lot of time worrying excessively and shows signs of being highly anxious. It could be about school, their friends, the family, their health, or their safety. It seems like they always find something to be fretting about. They probably need constant reassurance from you.



Obsessive or Repetitive Behaviors (OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder):If your child gets stuck on certain thoughts or can’t stop repeating some odd behaviors, they may have OCD. This can be a debilitating problem that seems to prevent them from having a normal life. Their behavior may seem very strange. Some common OCD compulsions include hand-washing, repeating basic actions over and over, checking doors/locks, or repeating certain words or phrases. They might always have to feel “just right” before doing anything.



Irrational Fears in Social Situations (Social Anxiety Disorder):Your child might dread social functions and try to make excuses to get out of them. They seem very shy and have trouble making friends. They may be able to converse with you but act very quiet with other people. In its most extreme form, they might even be afraid of going out in public at all.



Panic Attacks (Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia):Panic or anxiety attacks are very intense bursts of anxiety that seem to come out of nowhere. Your child may tell you they feel sick or dizzy. They may appear to have trouble breathing or tell you that their heart is racing. Children and teens who have panic attacks often refuse to go certain places because they are worried about triggering an anxiety attack. At its most severe, they may not want to leave home at all.



Refusal to go to school (School Anxiety/Separation Anxiety Disorder):Many children refuse to go to school because of their irrational fears. Your child may report feeling sick in the morning before school but then seem to get better once they are allowed to stay home. They may be afraid of something at school or scared of being apart from you. This can lead to excessive absences from school.



Fear of a specific object or situation (Phobias):Your child becomes very anxious in the presence of certain objects or situations. Common childhood phobias include fears of vomiting, animals, doctors, certain foods, and bad weather. If your child has a phobia, it may dominate their thinking. It can seem like they are always focused on avoiding the thing they’re afraid of.





At Anxiety Solutions, We Know How to Successfully Treat Children and Teens with ALL Kinds of Anxiety.

&nbsp;

No matter what type of anxiety your child is experiencing, we can help:

&nbsp;




Dramatically reduce your child’s anxiety.



Show your child exactly what to do when they feel anxious.

It is possible to not have to worry about them all the time and to feel confident that they are on the right track in school and in life.

&nbsp;

Wondering if our anxiety therapy can really helpyour child or teen get over their fears?
You might find it hard to believe that anything could relieve your child of their overwhelming anxiety. This is understandable since you have probably tried very hard for a long time to help them, but nothing has worked. Maybe you’ve even taken your child to therapy before but found it unsuccessful. Perhaps it will help if we tell you why we feel we are the child and teen therapists best-suited to help:

&nbsp;




We use a specialized, research-proven form of anxiety therapy. We practice a type of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) called Exposure Therapy that is known to bring the best results in treating anxiety in children and teenagers. We are among the few counselors in the the areas where we are located who have expertise in this technique with children and teens.



As specialists, we only treat anxiety clients. This means all of our time is focused on studying and applying the most recent and effective scientifically proven anxiety treatment methods. We can confidently assure you that your child will receive the absolute best quality of treatment available.



We incorporate you in your child’s treatment. We offer parent coaching sessions. Research has shown that kids whose parents are more involved with counseling tend to have better outcomes in therapy. We therefore either involve you in your child’s counseling sessions or offer separate parent coaching sessions.We will show you exactly what to do when your child gets anxious at home. You will feel so relieved that you finally have the tools to help your child. We will help you deal with your child’s disruptions and get them to listen.



We do more than just sit and listen: we will show you and your child exactly what to DO about anxiety.While we are of course empathic and supportive, we offer so much more. We are active, direct and actually show your child techniques that WILL help with their anxiety. Furthermore, we’ll do just about everything that we ask your child or adolescent to do with them. We’ll go with them to wherever we need to go in order to help them overcome their fears—whether it’s your home or some other place or situation that makes them anxious. We’ll actually be with them as they work through their fears. Our counseling sessions are action-oriented and get proven results.



We provide extra support outside of scheduled therapy sessions.We also offer phone or email guidance in between counseling sessions when you or your child need extra support. In short, we do whatever it takes to help your child get the relief they deserve. We act as their partner; we want them to get better.



We have appointments in the evenings and all day on Saturday (depending on which therapist your child sees).This makes it easy on your schedule, and you will not have to take your child out of school to be able to see us.





If you are ready to help your child get relief from their anxiety, contact us and we’ll get started.

How long does Exposure Therapy take?
While it can be difficult to give an exact estimate of how long therapy will take for you because it varies a lot from person to person, we can give you an average range and tell you what the length of therapy depends on:

An average course of treatment with Exposure Therapy is usually in the range of 10-20 sessions.  If you are coming in once per week, which is typical, this means within a few weeks or a few months. 10-20 sessions is the typical range for a full course of treatment, though most people start to see some improvements gradually once they start implementing the strategies we give them during sessions on their own between sessions.

Note also that while most clients fall in that 10-20 session range, we certainly have clients who have quicker treatments in as few as 5 sessions, and we sometimes also have clients who need longer-term help beyond 20 sessions, and sometimes well beyond 20 sessions.  Everyone’s needs are different.

While the length of therapy can depend partially on symptom severity, what it mostly depends on is how fast you prefer to move through the process.  Getting over an anxiety problem requires you to do things that are uncomfortable for you, and Exposure Therapy is all about changing habits and facing your fears.  It requires going through anxiety in the short term for anxiety to get better in the long run.  It’s not necessarily MORE anxiety in the short-term, it’s just that you’re confronting it more directly.  But people vary in how quickly or gradually they want to do this.  Some clients say “Screw it, I don’t care what it takes, let’s just do it all and get it over with quickly”.  That tends to result in a faster treatment and fewer sessions needed.  Others need to take things more slowly and gradually; they start with easier versions of exposure exercises and gradually work their way up.  That works great too, it just takes a bit longer depending on how slow or fast you want to go.

To learn more about how long therapy might take for your specific issue, we recommend contacting us for a free phone consultation with one of our therapists.
I am not afraid of something simple and physically concrete like dogs, can Exposure Therapy still work for me?
Yes, absolutely.

Although we use that fear as an example on this page about Exposure Therapy, very few clients that we see are coming in for such a simple phobia. Typically, if you are not sure of specific situations and triggers for your anxiety, the trigger is really just uncertainty of any kind. It could be uncertainty about your future, whether you will be able to keep a job or relationship, why you are having certain thoughts, why you feel anxious, or really anything. Even though uncertainty is not a physical thing we can put in front of you to do exposure therapy with like a dog, the idea of exposure works exactly the same way. We simply need to get you exposed to feeling uncertain without doing anything to resolve it. In other words, it’s exposure to particular thoughts about uncertainty rather than a physical object.

Remember that short-term avoidance of anxiety leads to long-term maintenance of anxiety. The way this works with uncertainty is that when we feel uncertain about something, the way our brains tell us to “run away” from it is to analyze it so that we can feel reassured, resolved, and certain about it. This leads to excessive worry, rumination, and overanalysis because you are trying to get a for-certain answer to something that cannot be answered for certain.

The solution is to learn the skill of cutting off the process of mentally analyzing worry questions and instead moving on with your day while purposely leaving these questions unresolved, unanswered, and uncertain. If you do this, you will be exposed to uncertainty and will get used to it the same way someone with a dog phobia would get used to dogs. Believe it or not, you can eventually reach the point where uncertainty is no longer a trigger for anxiety for you.

Basically, instead of exposing yourself to a physical object like a dog, you would be exposing yourself to thoughts about uncertainty, but without the avoidance you usually do via mentally analyzing. This would give your brain a chance to re-learn that such thoughts are not actually dangerous and do not require any action, which is how the exposure works and the anxiety gets better (see below to learn why this hasn’t happened for you already).

That is the very quick, short explanation of this, obviously we will go into much more detail about it when we meet with you. We can also tell you more about how this works during a free phone consultation, or you can read this blog post all about this topic: Why You Worry: Obsessing, Overthinking, and Overanalyzing Explained Part 1 and Why You Worry Part 2: How to Stop the Worry Cycle.

But the short answer to this common question is that yes, exposure will still work for fears like this and it is actually more common for folks to be coming to us for help for something like this than for a more concrete, simple phobia.  We know what to do with it.
I don’t even know what triggers my anxiety, it seems like it just happens all the time! How can we do exposure if we don’t know what the trigger is?
Anxiety triggers can often be difficult to identify, which is why it can seem like the anxiety comes out of nowhere. But there is always a trigger. Anxiety does not just happen randomly even though it may seem that way sometimes.

We will use our extensive experience with anxiety clients to help you identify subtle triggers, which we will then use for exposure exercises.
I get exposed to the things I’m afraid of all the time. It hasn’t worked so far. Why would Exposure Therapy work for me?
This is a good question that we get all the time. You are correct, you’ve already had lots of exposure to the things that make you anxious, otherwise you probably wouldn’t be seeking help. However, the problem is that when you get exposed, there is something you are doing to avoid the trigger or the anxiety itself. And any avoidance prevents exposure from working.

Avoidance behaviors can be subtle and you may not even realize what you are doing to avoid the anxiety. It may even seem like you are not avoiding at all. But there is no such thing as an anxiety problem without some form of avoidance. Even doing anything to partially avoid or resist the anxiety or the anxiety triggers can prevent exposure from working.

Most people are not aware of how they are avoiding, which is where we can help. We will help you recognize and eliminate avoidance behaviors you may not be aware of that are maintaining your anxiety. Then your exposure will work and your anxiety will decrease.
Therapy has not worked for me before, why would this be different?
Firstly, don’t worry, the vast majority of our clients are coming to us having had other attempts at therapy fail for them before. We are often a last resort for people. Most of our clients have been to what is typically referred to as “talk therapy”, where the therapist listens to the client and perhaps offers interpretations of what the client is feeling or the origins of their issues, but does not offer any concrete advice about what they should do about it.

Most of our clients who have been through this type of therapy will say that while their therapist may have been very nice, it did not ultimately do much for their anxiety. While talk therapy has its place for some issues, it is often not enough for anxiety. Our clients will also often say that if their therapist did give them specific advice, it was typically to do some relaxation exercises, which also usually were not effective.

Even worse than these attempts at these therapies not being effective is the fact that they often leave clients feeling that they must have a more serious, untreatable issue that cannot get better or that they themselves were not doing the therapy right somehow.  If you have been through a similar experience, rest assured that the issue was likely not with you but with the fact that you weren’t receiving the kind of specialized help you need.

Exposure Therapy is different because the therapist takes a much more active role. We will give you very clear, straightforward advice on exactly what to do to fix your anxiety issue and reach your goals. In Exposure Therapy, the therapist is more like a coach: we will show you what to do, model it for you, practice it with you, offer encouragement, and do our best to hold you accountable.  There is a place for talking through things of course; it is not purely a set of techniques we perform with you, but it is much more goal-directed and action-oriented than what most therapists do.  Because it is so different, we typically get results even when a client has not found success with other therapies before.
What if I have too much anxiety to be exposed to my “triggers”? What if I can’t handle it?
At every point in counseling, YOU will decide what you are willing to do and what you are not willing to do. We will not (nor could we) force you to do anything that you do not want to do.

And even though facing your anxiety may be scary, we will help you every step of the way. We will show you exactly what to do when you feel anxious, and we will be WITH you for your exposure exercises whenever possible.

We are your partner in the treatment, and we want you to get better.  Most people find out through doing this type of therapy that they can handle more than they thought, which can be empowering.
What if the thing I’m afraid of actually IS dangerous? How do we expose to that?
We will NEVER ask you to do anything that we think is dangerous. We will also NEVER ask you to do anything that we would not do ourselves.

In accordance with this, we will, whenever possible, demonstrate doing the exposures ourselves before you do them.

Instead of doing anything dangerous, we will design an exposure to the perceived RISK of something dangerous happening rather than actually exposing to anything dangerous. We design exposures like this all the time. They are safe and very effective.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1749821059789{margin-top: 20px !important;}"]

How can we do exposure if we don’t know what the trigger is?"][vc_column_text]Anxiety triggers can often be difficult to identify, which is why it can seem like the anxiety comes out of nowhere. But there is always a trigger. Anxiety does not just happen randomly even though it may seem that way sometimes.

We will use our extensive experience with anxiety clients to help you identify subtle triggers, which we will then use for exposure exercises.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="I get exposed to the things I’m afraid of all the time. It hasn’t worked so far. Why would Exposure Therapy work for me?"][vc_column_text]This is a good question that we get all the time. You are correct, you’ve already had lots of exposure to the things that make you anxious, otherwise you probably wouldn’t be seeking help. However, the problem is that when you get exposed, there is something you are doing to avoid the trigger or the anxiety itself. And any avoidance prevents exposure from working.

Avoidance behaviors can be subtle and you may not even realize what you are doing to avoid the anxiety. It may even seem like you are not avoiding at all. But there is no such thing as an anxiety problem without some form of avoidance. Even doing anything to partially avoid or resist the anxiety or the anxiety triggers can prevent exposure from working.

Most people are not aware of how they are avoiding, which is where we can help. We will help you recognize and eliminate avoidance behaviors you may not be aware of that are maintaining your anxiety. Then your exposure will work and your anxiety will decrease.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Therapy has not worked for me before, why would this be different?"][vc_column_text]Firstly, don’t worry, the vast majority of our clients are coming to us having had other attempts at therapy fail for them before. We are often a last resort for people. Most of our clients have been to what is typically referred to as “talk therapy”, where the therapist listens to the client and perhaps offers interpretations of what the client is feeling or the origins of their issues, but does not offer any concrete advice about what they should do about it.

Most of our clients who have been through this type of therapy will say that while their therapist may have been very nice, it did not ultimately do much for their anxiety. While talk therapy has its place for some issues, it is often not enough for anxiety. Our clients will also often say that if their therapist did give them specific advice, it was typically to do some relaxation exercises, which also usually were not effective.

Even worse than these attempts at these therapies not being effective is the fact that they often leave clients feeling that they must have a more serious, untreatable issue that cannot get better or that they themselves were not doing the therapy right somehow.  If you have been through a similar experience, rest assured that the issue was likely not with you but with the fact that you weren’t receiving the kind of specialized help you need.

Exposure Therapy is different because the therapist takes a much more active role. We will give you very clear, straightforward advice on exactly what to do to fix your anxiety issue and reach your goals. In Exposure Therapy, the therapist is more like a coach: we will show you what to do, model it for you, practice it with you, offer encouragement, and do our best to hold you accountable.  There is a place for talking through things of course; it is not purely a set of techniques we perform with you, but it is much more goal-directed and action-oriented than what most therapists do.  Because it is so different, we typically get results even when a client has not found success with other therapies before.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="What if I have too much anxiety to be exposed to my “triggers”? What if I can’t handle it?"][vc_column_text]At every point in counseling, YOU will decide what you are willing to do and what you are not willing to do. We will not (nor could we) force you to do anything that you do not want to do.

And even though facing your anxiety may be scary, we will help you every step of the way. We will show you exactly what to do when you feel anxious, and we will be WITH you for your exposure exercises whenever possible.

We are your partner in the treatment, and we want you to get better.  Most people find out through doing this type of therapy that they can handle more than they thought, which can be empowering.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="What if the thing I’m afraid of actually IS dangerous? How do we expose to that?"][vc_column_text]We will NEVER ask you to do anything that we think is dangerous. We will also NEVER ask you to do anything that we would not do ourselves.

In accordance with this, we will, whenever possible, demonstrate doing the exposures ourselves before you do them.

Instead of doing anything dangerous, we will design an exposure to the perceived RISK of something dangerous happening rather than actually exposing to anything dangerous. We design exposures like this all the time. They are safe and very effective.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1683022245530{margin-top: 20px !important;}"]

#### Generalized Anxiety
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text css=""]
Want to stop worrying all the time?
&nbsp;
Are you a worrier? Does it feel like your mind races with anxiety and you can’t shut it off?
If so, you may be suffering from generalized anxiety. 
But with the right treatment, you can end the worry cycle and live a more peaceful life.
&nbsp;
We specialize in a unique type of therapy that has been shown to be the MOST effective method for reducing generalized anxiety and worry.
Generalized anxiety can be a frustrating problem. If you find yourself worrying excessively, you probably feel like your mind starts racing and nothing you do can slow it down. Even if you feel OK about one thing, it’s like your mind always comes up with something else to worry about.
Here are some characteristic signs that you may have generalized anxiety:

 	You worry about lots of different things, both large and small. You can’t stop worrying even when you know it’s irrational.


 	You overanalyze things: Your mind is always trying to come up with plans or figure something out.


 	There doesn’t seem to be a specific trigger for your anxiety: it feels like it’s always there.


 	Difficulty sleeping.


 	You hate uncertainty and have a hard time leaving things unresolved or uncertain.


 	Difficulty making decisions: It takes a long time to decide anything, even small things, because you want to make absolutely sure it’s the right choice.


 	The anxiety starts to manifest physically: you may feel tense, short of breath, or even nauseous.

When you are worried about something, you just can’t seem to let it go. It’s like a nagging feeling in the back of your head that won’t let up until the worry is resolved. You probably try to distract yourself or think about something else. At other times, you might try to think more positively or get reassurance from loved ones.

But the anxious, pessimistic thoughts always creep back in. Your mind always comes up with another reason to worry. It can be SO aggravating to feel like you have no control over your mind.

Maybe you’ve even been to a therapist before but found it unhelpful because they just talked about your worries or taught you some breathing exercises. You can reach a point of feeling hopeless that the anxiety will ever end.

&nbsp;
At Anxiety Solutions of Denver, we use research-proven methods that will help you stop worrying and get relief from constant anxiety.
If you suffer from generalized anxiety, we can help you:

 	Dramatically reduce anxiety.
 	Put a stop to the worry cycle.
 	Live in the NOW: Learn how to enjoy the present moment instead of worrying about the future.
 	Stop overanalyzing.
 	Sleep better.
 	Feel less anxious when things are uncertain or unresolved.
 	Make decisions more quickly, without agonizing over whether you’re making the right choice.
 	Be able to relax and enjoy a normal life.

Imagine a calmer, more peaceful life in which your worry is under your control. You’ll be able to concentrate only on what’s important. You’ll be free to enjoy yourself and feel at ease doing it.

You CAN have a life like this, but you need the help of an experienced anxiety specialist to do it.

&nbsp;
How can you be sure that we can help with your anxiety?
Because we are anxiety specialists. We know what works for anxiety.
Most therapists treat clients with a wide variety of issues, but our practice is exclusively focused on helping people with anxiety.

This means that we have seen far more clients with generalized anxiety than your average therapist, so we have a deeper, clearer understanding of this complex issue. We know that you don’t just need someone to talk to, you need someone to show you what to DO about your anxiety.

Click here to learn more about what makes us unique.

We are also different because we use a proven treatment called Exposure Therapy (a type of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy). Although research has shown Exposure Therapy to be the most effective treatment for generalized anxiety, very few therapists in Denver practice this technique. We are among the few who specialize in it.

This is one reason that we are likely to be effective for you even if you have not benefited from other therapies in the past.

If you are struggling with constant worry and anxiety, you have probably been fighting it for many years. You may feel hopeless that you will ever feel better. But rest assured, counseling with an anxiety specialist can help you end this problem and enjoy a normal, peaceful life.

#### Hair-pulling/Skin-picking
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]
What are Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling) Disorder and Excoriation (Skin-Picking) Disorder?
Trichotillomania and Excoriation Disorder fall under a category of behaviors called Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors. They are characterized by repetitive, impulsive behaviors that are hard to resist in which pulling, picking, scratching, or scraping of the skin, nails, or hair result in damage to the body or noticeable hair loss.
Common Symptoms

 	Recurrent pulling of one’s hair, sometimes leading to hair loss
 	Recurrent skin picking, sometimes resulting in skin lesions
 	Repeated attempts to decrease or stop hair pulling or skin picking
 	Skin picking or hair pulling causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of one’s life

Trichotillomania and Excoriation Disorder Treatment
Both of these disorders are best treated by unique forms of Coginitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which help reduce the behavior itself as well as its social and emotional impact. The two forms of CBT recommended to treat these disorders are called Habit Reversal Training (HRT) and the Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB). These forms of therapy aim to eliminate hair pulling and skin picking by first increasing awareness of triggers to these behaviors. Next, skin picking and hair pulling are replaced with more effective means of managing stress and other difficult emotions. Sometimes, barriers to engaging in the behavior (e.g. Band-aids or tape on the fingers) are used as well. Practice of these new skills is completed in therapy through exposure to triggers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id="sidebar_1"][/vc_column][/vc_row]

#### Health Anxiety
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text css=""]

Is health anxiety convincing you that your well-being is constantly in jeopardy?
&nbsp;
Do you find yourself often looking up your symptoms on the internet?
Are you frustrated by spending large amounts of time and money on medical tests only to be told that the results are inconclusive?
You don't have to continue struggling with health anxiety.
You CAN learn to trust your body and your health, but you need the help of an anxiety specialist to do so.
&nbsp;
We use a research-proven approach for treating health anxiety that is more effective than any other method.
If you suffer from health anxiety, you likely spend a lot of time worrying about developing a life-altering health condition. You have likely become very attuned to changes or perceived irregularities taking place in your body or your mind. These changes likely come with feelings of fear that feel nearly impossible to ignore. After all, what could be more important than your health?

Do you feel frustrated with the lack of answers you've gotten about your health?

You have probably spent a frustrating amount of time and money at the doctor's office seeking a diagnosis. You may also be exhausted by the pattern of becoming convinced of a threat to your health, researching your symptoms, going to the doctor, and being told that "everything looks normal." We can help you break this cycle and get back to being fully present and engaged in everyday life.

You want to feel secure in your body and mind. 

You want to stop worrying. 

It just seems like you can’t do it.

At Anxiety Solutions of Denver, we have helped many people like you with health anxiety. We understand how painful health anxiety can be, and we know how to help you get over the hump to overcome it.

When our clients come to us for help with health anxiety, they often say:

 	“I become so overwhelmed every time I notice a new symptom. It feels like I'm risking my life by not having it looked at.”
 	“I'm so sick of looking in the mirror and checking for anything abnormal."
 	“I can't stand to spend any more time on WebMD."
 	“I haven't felt able to enjoy anything in my life since this started. I'm constantly preoccupied with worrying about my health.”
 	“I feel so invalidated. No one can seem to diagnose the cause of these symptoms."

&nbsp;
At Anxiety Solutions of Denver, We Are Known for Our Unique, Research-Supported Methods of Treating Health Anxiety.
Even if you are feeling helpless and hopeless about your health anxiety improving, we can help you:

 	Reduce or eliminate health anxiety
 	Improve your ability to experience bodily changes and uncertainty without distress
 	Get back to enjoying life
 	Become less preoccupied by worry and more engaged in daily activities

&nbsp;

Because we specialize in treating health anxiety. The providers at Anxiety Solutions of Denver have helped many people overcome their health anxiety. Since we are specialists, we have more experience and success treating health anxiety than your average therapist.

We also stay up-to-date on research about health anxiety. Instead of traditional talk therapy, we use a therapeutic approach that has been proven most effective for health anxiety: Exposure Therapy.

"As a colleague and former supervisor of Dr. Stein, I’ve witnessed his clients, who are often tortured by anxiety and worry, put an end to their suffering in a short period of time. He gets impressive results. I have seen him take clients from having extremely severe cases of OCD to being almost symptom-free in a matter of weeks or months. His commitment to utilizing proven, state-of-the-art treatment methods has earned him a reputation for achieving excellent outcomes for people with anxiety and OCD. Dr. Stein is exceptionally talented and I consider him one of the best, most effective therapists for anxiety and OCD that I have known in my 33 years in the field."

"I came into Anxiety Solutions not knowing anything about where to start or how to heal my mind. From the very beginning,
Dr. Gaus was clear about what to do and the reasons behind it, helping me to understand my anxiety, where it comes from, and how to combat it. I have mastered new tools that I can now use any time I fall into a little bit of anxiety! I am so grateful for my
time with Dr. Gaus- not only did it make life easier but it helped me to attack my goals with more clarity and focus, without the distraction of anxiety."

Tom’s Success Story:
From Non-Stop Worry to Finally Being Able to Enjoy Life
He worried all the time about his job performance, his relationship with his girlfriend, his finances…even if he felt ok about one thing, his mind would always come up with something else for him to worry about. It took him forever to make decisions.  He felt like he needed to be certain about everything.

Even if he could get himself reassured about one thing, his mind would always bring up another worry. He felt anxious pretty much all the time.

Eventually, Tom realized he needed a specialist in therapy for anxiety. He heard about Anxiety Solutions of Denver’s unique approach to counseling for generalized anxiety and decided to give it a try.

Using the skills we showed him in therapy, Tom got much better at pushing his worry off and ending the worry cycle instead of obsessing on things. After a few sessions, Tom was feeling less worried and his anxiety subsided.  He said he felt like he was finally starting to enjoy life again.[/vc_column_text]Click here to read Tom’s full story[/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1703155178173{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}"]
Amy’s Success Story:
From Severe Panic Attacks Crippling Her Life to Being Panic-Free
Amy suffered from intense panic attacks. She would go through episodes where her heart would start to race rapidly and she felt like she couldn’t breathe.

She worried that an attack could make her pass out, or maybe even kill her.  She went to the doctor and even the ER. But every time, the doctors would tell her she was perfectly healthy. This just led to even more confusion.

Amy became so afraid of the panic attacks that they took over her life. She shut down, avoiding situations she knew might cause her to panic. Her life became much smaller than before.

One of Amy’s doctors suggested that it might be anxiety, and sent her to see Anxiety Solutions of Denver for help.

After several counseling sessions with us, Amy’s panic attacks stopped.

Amy was so relieved to finally understand her panic attacks and know what to do about them. She successfully implemented the strategies we showed her and was amazed at how well they worked.

She got back to living her full, normal life, free from the crippling anxiety. She said she finally felt like herself again.[/vc_column_text]Click here to read Amy’s full story[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type="image" parallax_style="vcpb-default" bg_image_new="id^5479|url^http://effectivetherapysolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Denver-Green-Fields.jpg|caption^null|alt^Denver Green Fields|title^Denver-Green-Fields|description^null" bg_image_repeat="no-repeat" bg_image_posiiton="0 -230px" bg_override="ex-full" enable_overlay="enable_overlay_value" overlay_color="rgba(48,48,48,0.39)" type="vc_default" css=".vc_custom_1695392158712{padding-top: 90px !important;padding-bottom: 90px !important;}" el_class="get-started"][vc_column width="2/3" offset="vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-sm-offset-2"]Ready to Get Started?Call us to get started with your FREE PHONE CONSULTATION OR Schedule your first appointment.Schedule an Appointment[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" bg_type="bg_color" bg_override="ex-full" type="vc_default" bg_color_value="#f4f4f4" el_id="menu_section" css=".vc_custom_1679907192095{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}" el_class="ets-map-form"][vc_column css=".vc_custom_1717584531006{margin-right: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;margin-left: 30px !important;padding-top: 45px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}" offset="vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-offset-0"]Our Denver Address (Main Office)Anxiety Solutions of Denver (Main Office)

#### List of States Our Therapists Serve
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text css="" el_class="ets_text_editor_1"]
Because licensure for psychologists is done on a state-by-state basis rather than nationally, our therapists are only able to treat clients within certain states.  This means that not all of our therapists are eligible to practice in all of the states we serve.  See below for a list of which therapists can practice in each state.
Please note that what matters for determining your eligibility to see us is not what state you have residence in, it is where you are physically at the time of your session. Therapists doing online therapy must be licensed both where the therapist is and where the client is. This unfortunately means that if you are not in any of the states that we serve at the time of your session, we will not be able to do therapy with you because it would mean we are technically practicing without a license.
Colorado
All of our therapists can see clients in Colorado.
PSYPACT States
Dr. Stein, Dr. Gaus, Dr. Camaione, and Dr. Hermosillo can also practice in the 32 U.S. states that have adopted PSYPACT into law.  A current list of these states can be found here: PSYPACT states

#### Online Therapy
Our Therapists Offer the Same Anxiety and OCD Treatment Through Online Therapy via Video

Online therapy is an excellent alternative for those who cannot make it to our office or who prefer not to come in person.

Our experienced psychologists and therapists are anxiety experts, and we are proud to offer our highly effective therapy online via secure video conference (like Zoom/Skype). We have offered our services to some clients online for years even before the pandemic and now offer it as an option for all clients.

Benefits of Online Therapy:

You get the same therapy you would get if we were seeing you in person

In our experience, it does not end up being much different from sitting in the same room talking in person. Clients have had very positive feedback about it as well, and many of our clients like it so much that they have chosen to stick with online therapy even after our return to the office.

Research studies have shown that online therapy is just as effective as therapy done in person. 

Many research studies have been done comparing the effectiveness of in-person therapy and online therapy and these studies have found no difference in treatment outcomes. Our own personal experience since the pandemic began has also been that it is just as effective.

Convenience: sessions can be done from home and don't require driving to our office, so they take less of your time

It allows access to top quality, specialized treatment for those who would otherwise not be able to access it near them, such as clients who:

Don't have anxiety/OCD specialists where they live

Can't make it to our office due to distance or scheduling issues

Are homebound because of their anxiety or OCD.

Our online therapy can help you create a freer, more relaxed life.&nbsp;&nbsp;There IS a solution to your anxiety problem, but you need the right help.

Most therapists are generalists who do a little bit of work with a lot of different types of problems.&nbsp; When you see a generalist, they may not have much experience treating your specific issue. This is especially true with many of the unique ways that anxiety can present itself.

Anxiety and OCD often require more specialized expertise.

Unfortunately, it can be hard to find an experienced anxiety specialist in many areas. Generalist&nbsp;therapists are everywhere, but if you don't live near a big city, odds are you don't have a qualified anxiety or OCD specialist near you.

An anxiety specialist, like the therapists on our team, spends all their time treating clients with anxiety and OCD. This means that unlike a generalist, you can bet that our therapists have worked with your specific issue before.

We are psychologists and therapists who work exclusively with anxiety and OCD&nbsp;with children, teens, and adults.

We use Exposure Therapy, which research has demonstrated is the MOST effective therapy technique for reducing anxiety.

Click here to learn what else makes us unique.

If you are seeking help with anxiety or OCD, it is critical that your therapist is using the right treatment.&nbsp; But Exposure Therapy can be hard to find in many locations because in spite of its research support, not many therapists have experience or training in it.

This is why we offer our services via a private and secure video platform online.&nbsp; This makes it easy for you to get the right help even if you can't get it near where you live.

Online therapy is also a good fit for clients who are unable to come in and see us in person for other reasons, such as physical disabilities, anxiety about leaving the house or driving, or scheduling issues.

Where we can provide online therapy

Different states and countries have different laws regarding the practice of online therapy. Unfortunately, these laws are fairly restrictive if you live inside the United States or Canada; in these countries, the therapist is required to be licensed to practice in the state/province where the client is located, not just where the therapist is located. Because licenses for psychologists and therapists are granted state-by-state rather than nationally, we can only practice online therapy for clients who are in the states where we are licensed.

Click here for a list of which of our therapists serve which states.

Providing online therapy in other countries also poses some legal hurdles. Unfortunately, at this time, we are not able to provide our services to clients in other countries.

So if you are ready to get relief from your anxiety, here are your next steps:

1. Sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this page and get Dr. Stein’s free audio recording:&nbsp;“What To Do When You Feel Anxious”.

2.&nbsp;Contact us for a free phone consultation, where we’ll answer all your questions and help you decide whether we are the right fit for you.

3. If you are ready to book an online therapy appointment now, simply click the button below to use our online scheduler (for online therapy, please click here to check this list of which of our therapists can practice in which states before you book).

#### Online Therapy Technical Tips
For our online therapy sessions, we use a very simple-to-use platform called doxy.me.  Here are some tips to make sure your online therapy session runs smoothly:

1. The software we use for online therapy sessions will only work in Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, so make sure you are using one of these web browsers.  
It will not work in Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge.  Here is a link for downloading the Google Chrome browser if you need it: Google Chrome
2. If possible, hook your computer up to the Internet directly via an ethernet cable rather than using Wi-Fi.
While Wi-Fi can work, it is less reliable and sometimes slower. If you are going to try to use Wi-Fi, make sure you are close to the router and that no other devices on the network are using a lot of bandwidth.
3. We recommend using a computer/laptop rather than your phone or tablet.
While phones and tablets do often work just fine, we have experienced problems with using them in some cases. Please understand that you are taking a risk if using your phone or tablet; the call quality may not be sufficient to have a session.
4. Test your device's capability to have an online therapy session beforehand.
You can test your device here:
https://webcasts.com/webrtc/https://test.webrtc.org/
If any of the test items come up red, you will probably not be able to do an online therapy session on that device. Items that come up yellow are not typically a problem and you should be fine. Here is a link to doxy.me's support page which contains advice for troubleshooting common problems: Doxy.me Support.
This page also includes some additional diagnostic tests if you are having trouble figuring out what is wrong: Additional Diagnostic Tests
5. Close all other programs running on your computer.

6. Make sure your operating system software is updated.

7. Your browser may prompt you to give permission for doxy.me to use your camera and microphone. Allow this.
If needed, click here for more detailed instructions on this: How to Allow Your Browser to Use Your Webcam and Microphone
8. On occasion, there may be an issue with audio feedback on the call. You may want to have headphones available just in case, which will prevent this problem.
We also recommend minimizing background noise as much as possible to make sure we can hear you.

Security Of Your Sessions
There are 2 primary forms of protection to maintain the security of information online. Both of these methods are used to protect your confidentiality during your sessions with us online.

Encryption is scrambling information that is transmitted online to make it unreadable and unusable to anyone trying to intercept it.  Our online therapy platform, Doxy.me, uses 128-bit encryption, which is considered very secure.

It is up to your discretion whether you would like to use additional encryption methods on your computer as well.

A firewall is a hardware or software filter meant to ensure that only authorized information is sent in or out of a computer or network. We use a firewall on our computers.

A firewall is an extra step of security that you can take if you wish. We use a firewall on our end, and it is up to you if you wish to use one on your end. Windows and iOS both come with firewalls, though you may need to make sure they are active.  Additional firewalls can be found in home computer security software products like Webroot or McAfee.

Please understand that although we make these efforts to ensure that your online therapy session transmissions will not be intercepted, there is no such thing as a 100% foolproof online security plan. We cannot guarantee the security of any information exchanged online.

Finally, it is your responsibility to ensure confidentiality in your physical location. Make sure you are in a quiet area, preferably at home, where no one else will be able to overhear your session.

#### Our Approach
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]
Exposure Therapy is the most EFFECTIVE treatment for anxiety and OCD.
A treatment approach that works.
Decades of research have proven that Exposure Therapy is more effective at relieving anxiety and OCD than any other type of counseling.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of therapists and psychologists don’t do Exposure Therapy because they have not been trained in it. This is why so many of our clients have tried counseling before but found that it did little or nothing for their anxiety.

You may have found it helpful for a little while but it didn’t last: the anxiety came back stronger than ever and now you feel even more hopeless.

Luckily, even if therapy has failed for you before, at Anxiety Solutions of Denver…

Therapy with us brings results even when other counseling methods haven’t.

We specialize in Exposure Therapy (a type of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), which has been proven to dramatically reduce anxiety and OCD.
So What Is Exposure Therapy?
Exposure Therapy involves gradually exposing yourself to the things that make you anxious so that you get used to them and they don’t make you anxious anymore.

This is always done at a pace of your choosing, so that you gradually get more and more comfortable with the things that make you anxious.

It works for any kind of anxiety or OCD.

It’s effective because gradual exposure to the things that cause you anxiety re-trains your brain so that you no longer react to those things with anxiety.
How Anxiety Works
Right now, your brain looks at the situations, thoughts, objects, and places that trigger your anxiety and decides that they are dangerous. It then uses anxiety as a warning signal to alert you to the danger so you can escape from the trigger in some way in order to reduce the anxiety.

This is called avoidance, and it is the cause of any anxiety problem. Avoidance of anxiety and the things that trigger your anxiety keeps the anxiety going in the long run because it prevents your brain from learning that your anxiety triggers are not actually dangerous.

When you avoid the things that make you anxious in the short-term, your anxiety gets worse in the long-term.
We Help Re-train Your Brain so That it Reduces or Eliminates Anxiety
In order to fix the problem, you must re-train your brain to understand that your anxiety triggers are not actually dangerous.

This can only be done through direct experience…after all, you’ve probably tried talking yourself out of anxiety before or tried to “think rationally” already, right? It just makes you feel crazy because you think “I KNOW this is irrational! I KNOW I shouldn’t be so anxious about this, but I can’t help it!”

Well unfortunately, you can’t talk your brain out of an anxiety problem.

Your brain needs to be convinced by directly experiencing that the anxiety trigger is not actually dangerous. This is what we do in Exposure Therapy.

This may sound scary, but rest assured that we will do it at your pace and guide you every step of the way. We will show you how to do each exposure exercise and, step-by-step, exactly what to do to make it work. In most cases, we can do it with you during our sessions, even if it means working outside our counseling office to help you overcome something that is causing you anxiety.
A Simple Example of How Exposure Works: Pete’s Fear of Dogs
Note: This is just a simplified example to demonstrate the idea. Your problem might be much more complicated than this, but the same concepts still apply.  Click here for the answers to frequently asked questions about how and whether exposure therapy could work for your issue.  We can also explain specifically how it will work for your issue in a free phone consultation.

&nbsp;
Here is a simple example to demonstrate how this form of anxiety treatment works:
Pete is afraid of dogs. But Pete’s children desperately want to get a dog. He wants to make his children happy but also does not want to live in constant fear inside his own home. Here is what is happening:

 	Every time Pete is faced with a dog, he becomes anxious. 
This is because his brain evaluates the dog as dangerous, and uses anxiety to warn him that he is in danger. 
 	In order to relieve this anxiety, he runs away from the dog. 
This works in the immediate short-term: in that moment, he is no longer anxious because he gets away from the dog (his anxiety trigger). 
 	However, this strategy does not work for him in the long-term. 
The next time he is confronted with a dog, he will be just as anxious or even more anxious because he avoided the previous dog rather than facing it. By avoiding the dog, he prevented his brain from learning that it is not dangerous! If he continues to avoid dogs like this, he will always be afraid of dogs and may never be willing to get a dog for his kids. 

Note that Pete can try all he wants to convince himself that the dog is not dangerous by saying things to himself like “The dog isn’t going to bite me”, or “I’m going to be ok, it’s just a dog.” But even though he might already realize his fear is irrational, this will NOT change his brain’s reaction to the dog. He will still get anxious when he sees one.

The only way to change his brain’s reaction to the dog is to learn through direct contact that the dog is not dangerous.
Here is how Exposure Therapy would work for Pete:

 	He sees one of our therapists, who gradually helps him spend time with dogs both during and between sessions. First he practices just being in the same room with a dog. Then he practices petting a dog. Finally, he works his way up to holding a dog.
 	At first, each step makes him very anxious, but he stays with it. 
 	As the counseling sessions progress he eventually gets used to being with dogs, and they no longer cause him anxiety. This is because his brain gradually learns from this experience that the dog is not dangerous. 
 	He is now willing to get a dog for his kids and can comfortably live with this dog without feeling anxious. 

This same basic process of Exposure Therapy that would work for Pete’s fear of dogs works for any other type of anxiety or OCD you may be facing, because:

When you do the things that make you anxious in the short-term, your anxiety decreases in the long-term.
Wondering How Exposure Therapy Can Help You?
At this point, you are probably wondering if Exposure Therapy would really work for you. In fact, your mind is probably coming up with all kinds of reasons why it won’t work for YOUR unique type of anxiety! Maybe you’re even wondering if your problem is actually anxiety or something else entirely.

If you have any of these concerns, it is perfectly natural…it’s what anxious minds do, and that’s ok.

 	How long does Exposure Therapy take? 
 	I am not afraid of something simple and physically concrete like dogs, can Exposure Therapy still work for me?
 	I get exposed to the things I’m afraid of all the time.  It hasn’t worked so far.  Why would Exposure Therapy work for me?
 	Therapy has not worked for me before, why would this be different?

#### Our Mission
Our Mission
At Anxiety Solutions, our mission is twofold:

To help our clients overcome anxiety disorders and OCD in order to live full, rich, comfortable lives.
To make the highest quality of care for anxiety and OCD available to as many people as we can; especially to those who could not previously have access to top-notch anxiety treatment.

We have chosen to make our careers all about helping people with anxiety, so the most important thing to us at our practice is to be effective therapists for our clients. We believe, and research shows, that the best way to achieve this for clients suffering from anxiety and OCD is Exposure Therapy, which is why we use and are so passionate about this method.
Although we and many other anxiety specialists use Exposure Therapy, dissemination of this type of treatment across the field of psychology is actually quite poor in spite of the large number of research studies demonstrating its effectiveness and its wide acceptance among the anxiety research community. Unfortunately, not many therapists are trained in this method. This means that typically, unless you live near a big city, you will not be able to find a therapist trained in Exposure Therapy.
We want to change that.
Here are some of the reasons why it is difficult for people to find good anxiety treatment and how we at Anxiety Solutions are working to address these problems:

Problem: There are not enough therapists trained in Exposure Therapy.

Our Solution: We run long-term training and supervision programs for therapists to become anxiety experts proficient in Exposure Therapy.

Problem: Anxiety specialists tend to be concentrated in big cities, so access to good care is limited if you don't live near a big city, and even moreso if you live outside the U.S.

Our Solution: Provide our anxiety therapy services online via videochat so people who don't live close to an anxiety specialist can still receive the care they need.
Our Solution: Open additional offices in smaller cities that do not currently have a practice like ours that specializes in anxiety and OCD. Part of our training programs are geared towards training therapists at our Denver office and then sending them out to open branch offices of our practice in other locations that don't have our kind of specialized services available. We have already done this in Reno, NV and hope to continue expanding into other similar cities.
Our Solution: Offer our self-help video series, How to Stop Overanalyzing, for people who cannot find a local anxiety specialist to have access to some of the most common strategies we go over with most of our clients.

Problem: For those who cannot afford a full psychologist, low cost options for Exposure Therapy are extremely difficult to find.

Our Solution: Our Master's-level therapists at our Denver office provide high-quality care under the supervision of our psychologists at an affordable rate ($50 per session).

If your life is being limited by anxiety or OCD, we want to help you.

#### Panic Attacks
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text css=""]
Put a Stop to Your Panic Attacks
&nbsp;
Panic attacks can be extremely scary and painful, but you do NOT have to suffer with them.
Research shows that the vast majority of people suffering from anxiety attacks can dramatically reduce or eliminate their attacks with proper treatment.
This requires an experienced psychologist or therapist who specializes in panic and anxiety and is trained in proven treatment techniques.
&nbsp;

If you are suffering from panic attacks, you are probably desperate for relief. You get intense rushes of anxiety that seem like they come out of nowhere. Perhaps you wonder if something is seriously wrong with you.

You may have gone to the doctor or even the emergency room. Maybe the doctors ran some tests and told you everything is fine. But you think if there’s nothing wrong, why do you keep having these anxiety attacks? It can make you feel crazy.

The symptoms of panic attacks can be overwhelming.

Your heart races.

You feel dizzy and light-headed.

It becomes harder for you to breathe.

You feel like you have no control over your body.

You fear you are going to pass out, or worse: that the attack could kill you.

The panic could be shutting down your life. Perhaps you’ve stopped going to certain places or doing some things because you’re afraid they’ll trigger an anxiety attack. You might even stop doing normal things like driving or going to the grocery store.

You feel trapped. You don’t understand what’s happening to you. You want to live your normal life but you’re too afraid.

Most of all…

You want the panic attacks to stop.

At Anxiety Solutions of Denver, our entire practice is focused on helping people with anxiety. Most of our clients have tried other types of therapy before, but found them ineffective.
Here are some things our panic clients say when they first call us for counseling:

 	“The panic attacks are AWFUL. I just want them to stop!”
 	“My anxiety is out of control. I am afraid I’m always going to feel this way.”
 	“I don’t know what to do when I start panicking.”
 	“I’m so afraid to even leave my house because I don’t want to have an attack.”
 	“I’m scared to drive on the highway because I worry I might pass out while driving.”
 	“Sometimes my heart races and my breathing becomes so fast that I feel like I am going to die.”
 	“Is this actually anxiety or is something wrong with my body?”
 	“Even when I’m not in a full-blown panic attack, I’m anxious all the time.
 	“I never used to feel this way. I don’t understand why this is happening.”
 	“I just want to feel normal again. I feel hopeless sometimes.”

#### Social Anxiety
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text css=""]
Is social anxiety keeping you from making friends and relationships?
&nbsp;
Do you worry about what other people think of you? Are you sometimes too nervous to interact with people?
It doesn’t have to stay this way.
You CAN become comfortable around other people, but you need the help of an experienced social anxiety specialist to do it.
&nbsp;
We use a technique for treating social anxiety that has been proven to be more effective than any other method.
If you suffer from social anxiety, the world can be a scary place. You probably have a tendency to think that people won’t like you and will reject you. When you’re out in public, it feels like everyone is watching you and judging you, like you’re in a spotlight.

You may have few or no friends because you have such a hard time talking to people. You worry a lot about what people are thinking about you. You probably avoid parties and other social situations as much as possible.

It can feel like you don’t even know how to talk to people.

When you do have to talk to people, you get so anxious that your mind freezes up and you can’t think of anything to say. It can feel like you have terrible social skills and that everyone knows how to talk to people but you, and they can all tell!

If things get really bad, you may not want to be around people at all. Perhaps you stay at home most of the time just so you don’t have to be around people.

You want to have more friends. 

You want to be in a romantic relationship. 

It just seems like you can’t do it.

 	“I don’t have many friends. I’ve never been good at meeting people or making friends.”
 	“I’m embarrassed to say it, but I’ve never had a boyfriend/girlfriend.”
 	“Sometimes my voice shakes and my hands start trembling when I get anxious, then that’s all I can focus on. I know people must notice it. It’s so embarrassing.”

#### Testimonial Collection Method
Our testimonial quotes are collected via an anonymous, optional survey that clients fill out online at home after the completion of therapy. The client's name is not attached to it in any way at any point, nor is any other potentially identifying information, in order to keep it anonymous. The client selects which therapist they saw on the survey, and that's it.

Because we collect the quotes anonymously and because they are not filled out at the office, our staff will have no way of knowing which clients did or didn't give a testimonial quote. This is all made clear to clients, so that they know there would be no negative consequences to them whatsoever for choosing not to fill out the survey or give a testimonial quote because we will not even know which clients did or didn't do so. It is also made clear to clients that if they ever wish to return to therapy at any point in the future, the therapist will not know whether they did or didn't give a quote and it will therefore not impact the services they receive or their ability to receive those services in any way. We do all this so that clients can feel comfortable if they wish to decline to give a testimonial quote.

Who I Am:
I am Dr. Michael Stein, a psychologist who specializes exclusively in treating anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I am the founder of Anxiety Solutions, a treatment center in Denver, CO. I am also one of Psychology Today's Experts on anxiety and OCD and I write a blog about anxiety for their website.

I have spent my career helping anxious people; training other therapists how to help anxious people; and working towards the dissemination of good, effective treatment methods for anxiety. I know that successful treatment of anxiety, worry, and overanalyzing often requires a specialist in anxiety, but unfortunately many people do not have easy access to a psychologist or therapist who really specializes in anxiety.

These videos are part of my efforts to provide quality, specialized help to people who cannot easily see an anxiety specialist. If you have had trouble finding the help you need, these videos are for you.

The Never- Ending Cycle of Overanalyzing and Worry
If you are dealing with anxiety, your mind is probably racing about all the things you worry about. Minds never shut up.

They are always trying to warn us about something. Even if the logical part of your mind knows that the thing you're worrying about might be nothing, the emotional part of your mind just won't stop. Even though you can at times look at things logically and find some reassuring answers, your brain always comes back with:

"well yeah, but WHAT IF..." and

"But how do you KNOW?"

You can't give your brain certainty, so the cycle just continues.

In the decade-plus that I have spent my career specializing in anxiety and OCD, I have helped hundreds of people put a stop to this endless cycle of worry and anxiety using the principles of Exposure Therapy, the most effective method for the treatment of anxiety and OCD.

I want to show you how to stop worrying too.

My self-help video series, "How To Stop Overanalyzing" can help you:

 	learn how to stop worrying
 	decrease overanalyzing and overthinking
 	reduce anxiety
 	be more comfortable with uncertainty
 	become more present and less focused on worries

"How To Stop Overanalyzing" includes over 3 hours of educational and instructional videos about overanalyzing, anxiety, and clear strategies for how to improve these issues.

#### Waitlist Scheduling Instructions
How Our (Optional) Scheduling Works While You Are On Our Waitlist
Unfortunately, due to the high demand for our services, we are sometimes not able to fit in new clients right away.  We often need to put new clients on a waitlist before we are able to fit them into our regular weekly caseload.

We sincerely apologize for our inability to get you in immediately; we know that frankly, it sucks to have to go on a waitlist.  You are probably eager to get started on treatment as soon as possible and that waiting is not ideal. Since we understand the urgency of getting you in as quickly as we can, we try to take great pains to get people in to start with us as soon as we possibly can.
The best way we have found to do this is to allow clients on our waitlist to schedule appointments, but with some restrictions.
The upside to allowing this is that it allows clients to be able to start therapy right away even in spite of our waitlist.  The downside is that the restrictions can sometimes create some initial confusion if clients do not fully understand these restrictions.

However, we find that this confusion is avoided if clients read the full explanation of these rules below, and we believe that the upside of getting clients in faster outweighs the downside of any initial confusion. 

The system we use is actually quite simple, and the alternative to these rules would be that there is no way around waiting to get in with us.

&nbsp;
So here is how it works:

 
If you are on our waitlist, you are welcome to use our online scheduler to book any appointment available within the next 4 calendar days, but not further out than that.  For instance if today is March 15th, you could book any appointment for March 19th or earlier, but you cannot book appointments for March 20th or later.

 We typically go into every week with all of our appointment slots filled by established clients. But each week, a few clients will cancel here and there, opening up some available times. These canceled appointment slots are what we make available to clients on our waitlist.  We have to have a waitlist because we do not want an established client to not be able to get an appointment in a given week because we gave too many appointment slots to new clients. But we allow waitlist clients to schedule once we hit 4 days out because at that point, established clients have had a chance to book and it is unlikely any of them will need the appointment slot. This way, even though we cannot yet guarantee a weekly appointment for you, we are able to get the ball rolling much sooner and have therapy start much earlier.  We have found that clients who are proactive about this and who have relatively flexible scheduling availability are generally able to get an appointment most weeks even when they are on the waitlist.

 
If you are on our waitlist and you book an appointment more than four days in advance, we will have to cancel the appointment.

 This is the scenario we really try to avoid by explaining these rules here in detail, as we know it is a frustrating experience for you if we have to cancel an appointment you booked.  We need to do this though because we really need to keep the appointments available for our established clients who are in the middle of therapy with us already.   Therefore, if you book an appointment more than 4 days in advance, we will have to cancel it in order to protect our availability for established clients.  Please know that once you are off the waitlist and are an established client on our regular caseload, your appointment slots will be protected by this policy.

 
Sometimes, a therapist may have a waitlist only for late-day appointments (4pm start times and later), meaning they can get you onto their caseload immediately if you can regularly come in for 3pm start times and earlier.

 This means that if you can do appointment start times 3pm or earlier, they can get you onto their caseload right away with no scheduling restrictions. But if you require 4pm appointments or later, you will need to go on the waitlist for those appointment times and can only book appointments 4pm or later within this 4-day window.  We sometimes need to do this because demand for after-school or after-work appointments is extremely high and there simply aren't enough hours available to fit in everybody who wants those times.

 
Getting in one time for an appointment scheduled this way while you are on the waitlist does NOT mean you can then freely schedule appointments for any date or time after that.

 You will still be on the waitlist and must continue to schedule within this four-day window until we let you know that your therapist has a spot available on their regular active caseload for you.

 
The need to have your appointments scheduled in this fashion is only temporary.

 Once your turn comes up to get onto your therapist's regular active caseload, you will be able to book as many appointments as you want as far out in advance as you want, guaranteeing you an appointment every week.  You can always feel free to contact us to check in on how much longer we expect the wait to be to get onto the active caseload.  It just depends on when current clients finish therapy, and we can give you a range of time we expect for how long this will take before it's your turn.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this and for your understanding about these restrictions.  We know it can be frustrating to want to get help right away and to not be able to.  The intent of these policies is to get your therapy started as soon as possible while still not taking appointment slots from our already-established clients.  We hope this all makes sense, but if there is anything else we can do to make any of this clearer or more user-friendly, please contact our practice owner, Dr. Michael Stein, at drstein@anxietysolutionsofdenver.com, as we are very open to suggestions for anything we can improve here.

We look forward to getting started with you soon!
A few other helpful details to keep in mind:

 While you are on the waitlist and are scheduling in this way, we cannot guarantee that we will have an appointment available for you every week. It is possible that you may have an appointment one week but then have to wait a couple of weeks for another appointment that works for your schedule to become available. We know that this is not ideal, but clients tend to like having this option anyway because it is much better than not being able to get in at all while they are on the waitlist.
 Scheduling while you are on the waitlist is completely optional: if you feel that it does not work for you to have uncertainty about when you will be able to get in and how long it will be between appointments, then you do not need to schedule at all while you are on the waitlist.  You can simply wait for your turn to come up for a spot on our regular active caseload, and then you can schedule a recurring weekly appointment time.
 Scheduling appointments in this way does require you to be a bit proactive to make sure you get appointments. Appointment slots are updated immediately in the online scheduler as they are booked or canceled and are first come, first serve; so we recommend checking the online scheduler each day to see if any appointments have opened up that would work for you.
 On the online scheduler, you may see that the only available appointment type is "session for established client". Once you have read these instructions, you may ignore that and book it anyway, as long as it is within the next 4 days.
 For your first session, you are welcome to book with any therapist of your choosing (though some therapists have age restrictions). After you have already met with a therapist, that is your therapist for all of your sessions going forward, so please only book with them for all future appointments.  If you would like to know what the wait times are for each therapist, please contact us and we would be happy to give you the expected wait time for each therapist so you can make an informed decision about who to book your first session with.
 There is no waitlist for initial free phone consultations, you may schedule those by contacting us at any time.
 Please make sure that we have you on the waitlist before using the online scheduler this way. To get on our waitlist, simply call us at 303-940-7740 or email at newclients@anxietysolutionsofdenver.com.

Here is the online scheduler you can use to book your appointments:

You will speak to our friendly admin staff who can answer all your basic questions. Our staff pride themselves on our quick responsiveness, so you will either speak to us immediately when you call or hear back very quickly.  After answering any questions you may have, we will get you set up for either:

 An optional 20 minute free phone consultation with one of our therapists.  If you’re unsure if Anxiety Solutions is right for you, the phone consultation is a no-cost opportunity for you to get your questions answered directly with a therapist, get a sense of how our treatment methods would be adapted to your specific problems, and make sure we sound like the right fit for you.

OR

 Scheduling your first appointment. If you already know you want to work with us, you are welcome to skip the free phone consultation and simply book your first appointment to get therapy started.

What to Expect In Therapy
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row active_tab="1" collapsible="" disable_keyboard="" title_size="h5" style="2" title="" css=".vc_custom_1679309352976{margin-top: 25px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_accordion active_tab="1" collapsible="yes" title_size="h5" style="2"][vc_accordion_tab title="Step 1: Assessment (typically 1-2 sessions)"][vc_column_text]

This is a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other. The therapist will learn all about you, the problems that brought you to therapy, and your history.  At the end of your first session, they will leave some time to give you some feedback about your diagnosis and what your treatment will look like. They will answer your questions as well.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Step 2: Psychoeducation (typically 2 sessions)"][vc_column_text]Your therapist will teach you some basic concepts that set the foundation for how to make an anxiety problem better.  You can check out our blog for a small taste of how we explain anxiety concepts to our clients.

You will learn about:

 the brain science behind anxiety and OCD and how it is changed through the cognitive-behavioral treatment method of Exposure Therapy.
 The 3 parts of an anxiety problem: thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
 The different strategies for approaching each of these 3 parts.
 The skill of how to cut off the worry process and redirect attention back to what you are actually doing in the present moment.  This is a critical but difficult “mental behavior” to learn, and we typically spend a lot of time in therapy working on this skill.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Step 3: Behavior Changes (typically included throughout the first few sessions)"][vc_column_text]

Changing what you do in response to anxiety is what really leads to anxiety getting better in the long run. Based on the foundational concepts in the psychoeducation step, your therapist will review all of the behavior changes they see as being critical to your recovery and go over how to implement them.  This typically means eliminating behaviors designed to help avoid or resist anxiety in the short-term (because that’s what keeps anxiety going in the long term) and returning to normal activities even in spite of anxiety.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Step 4: Core Treatment Methods (typically 5-15 sessions)"][vc_column_text]This is the part that takes up the bulk of your therapy sessions.  Your therapist will decide which of these parts to prioritize and then they will go through them with you over the course of several sessions each. Once you have learned and practiced the basic skills and exercises, your therapist will continue to update and repeat these as needed. Clients typically notice improvements gradually, starting when they begin consistently making the behavior changes and practicing these skills and exercises on their own outside of sessions.  To learn more about the type of therapy we use, check out the Our Approach page.

 Skill Training and Practice: You will learn key skills that help with anxiety and go through various exercises to practice these skills in session with your therapist. Typically, the most important skill is to purposely leave worry questions unanswered while redirecting attention onto the present moment.  Mindfulness meditation is another key skill that can be very helpful and your therapist may teach you specific mindfulness exercises for anxiety and how to use them most effectively.
 Exposure Exercises: The core of Exposure Therapy is to practice confronting (rather than avoiding) the anxiety triggers to gradually train your brain through experience that they are not dangerous. What this looks like depends on the content of your fears. Sometimes it means confronting something physically like purposely inducing panic sensations for panic disorder or touching feared surfaces in contamination OCD. But it can also mean confronting anxiety-provoking thoughts, for which we often use a technique called “imaginal exposure”. This involves having us make a recording of the anxiety-provoking thoughts and then having you listen to it repeatedly without doing typical avoidance behaviors in order to train your brain that those thoughts are not dangerous. This causes the thoughts to lose their emotional impact. Exposure exercises often change as you progress through therapy and we figure out different nuances of your anxiety triggers, and as we move up to more and more difficult exercises in your “exposure hierarchy”.
 Homework: Between sessions, you will practice the skills and implement the behavior changes that you work on during sessions. You will also practice the exposure exercises.  Homework is actually the most important part of therapy: change does not actually happen during therapy sessions themselves, it really happens when you take what you learned in your therapy sessions and use it.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Step 5: Troubleshooting (typically 2-5 sessions)"][vc_column_text]

Making big changes is hard and improvement is rarely a straight line upwards; it is more typically a gradual “2 steps forward, 1 step back” kind of process. The therapist is there to compassionately support you through this, keep you accountable and on target, and help troubleshoot barriers to success so that you ultimately reach your goals.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Step 6: Check-in sessions (typically 2-5 sessions)"][vc_column_text]

Towards the end of therapy when we have taught you everything you need and things are improving, there is at some point less and less need for full 50 minute sessions every week and we typically start to titrate down the length and frequency of sessions. Most clients at some point start doing less frequent half sessions (25 minutes) for a little while until they have met their goals and maintained that success for a little while.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Step 7: Ending therapy"][vc_column_text]

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is not meant to be a never-ending, lifelong process: the idea is that at some point (usually a relatively short period of time), we have given you everything you need: goals have been met, suffering has been minimized, and you no longer need us! The skills you learned in therapy become new, healthy habits that will serve you for the rest of your life.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="How Long Therapy Takes Overall"][vc_column_text]The overall length of therapy does vary a lot for each specific person, but on average, a full course of treatment usually takes about 10 to 20 sessions. We sometimes have clients go even faster than that for those who are really willing to push themselves and use all the strategies quickly. We also sometimes have clients who need longer-term help.  But most clients fall in that 10 to 20 session range. For a more detailed explanation of what determines the length of therapy, check out our Frequently Asked Questions page.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=".vc_custom_1681059098479{margin-top: 30px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_column_text]
What to Expect After Therapy Is Over
Once we are your therapist, we are always your therapist! Our door is always open should you ever need help in the future. Some clients never need us again, but many clients also like to do occasional “booster” sessions from time to time just to keep themselves on track or during stressful periods of life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

#### Winston's Success Story
&lt;-- Back to Success Stories Menu Page
Winston's Success Story:
From Overwhelming Stress and Worry to a Calmer, More Confident Resilience
Winston led a very successful life. He had a great family, a great job and plenty of friends. In spite of all this, Winston felt his life had been full of anxiety.
He regularly found himself worrying about anything and everything: stressors from work, from relationships, from financial concerns, and from almost any area of life dominated his thoughts.  He focused on one stressful thing after another.
He was a worrier. He could not get his mind to let things go. It was incredibly frustrating.
He tried many of the techniques he read about in popular media or found with a typical Google search: he sought ways to practice relaxation and meditation, hoping this would quiet his mind. He tried to investigate his past, thinking that perhaps identifying and resolving a key issue might be the answer to his struggles.
As he continued to try to understand the cause of his worrying, he also had to deal with the worries themselves.  It felt like no matter what enjoyable activity he was engaged in; part of his mind was always consumed with worry. This prevented him from fully enjoying his life and he began to feel hopeless that this would ever get better.
Winston decided to look for an anxiety specialist and was connected with us at Anxiety Solutions.
We explained to Winston the concept of Exposure Therapy and its applicability in Winston’s situation. We taught Winston that the trigger for his anxiety is uncertainty.  We overthink and overanalyze situations when we feel uncertain.   We also taught Winston that overthinking (aka worry behavior) is actually something we can control.
Sometimes our fear of a negative outcome can be so strong, we try to make ourselves feel better by attempting to resolve the uncertainty in our heads through worrying, hoping this will lead to feelings of reassurance. However, the opposite usually occurs: feelings of stress and anxiety intensify.
We showed Winston how to identify this pattern in himself, cut off the worry process, and change his response so that his mind would be free to focus on the good things in his life.
Winston applied these principles and learned to let go of worry.  He began to feel much less anxiety.
When faced with stressors, he was able to move forward without his mind becoming overloaded or bogged down. He stopped thinking constantly about worst-case scenarios.  He found himself able to more fully enjoy his hobbies, his work, and his relationships.

Our Anxiety Specialists
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="7036" img_size="large" alignment="center" style="vc_box_shadow" css_animation="fadeInDown" css=".vc_custom_1765783389188{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}" image_hovers="false"][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1680779920639{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}"]
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?
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1703238463444{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}"]
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.

As a colleague and former supervisor of Dr. Stein, I’ve witnessed his clients, who are often tortured by anxiety and worry, put an end to their suffering in a short period of time. He gets impressive results. I have seen him take clients from having extremely severe cases of OCD to being almost symptom-free in a matter of weeks or months. His commitment to utilizing proven, state-of-the-art treatment methods has earned him a reputation for achieving excellent outcomes for people with anxiety and OCD. Dr. Stein is exceptionally talented and I consider him one of the best, most effective therapists for anxiety and OCD that I have known in my 33 years in the field.

#### How to Stop Overanalyzing: A Self-Help Video Series
Welcome and thank you for purchasing this video series! The videos can all be found below on this page.
I recommend watching them in order as each video builds on concepts that are discussed in the videos that come before it.

Below the 10 videos that comprise the series, you will also find some of the specific exercises cut up into their own videos so you have easy access to those as well. I hope you enjoy and that you find the videos helpful!

If you are having any technical problems with the videos or your account, please contact us at videos@anxietysolutionsofdenver.com.

&nbsp;
Video 1: Introduction


&nbsp;
Video 2: Anxiety 101, Part 1
This video includes an explanation of the treatment of Exposure Therapy, a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) which is the gold standard of treatment for all types of anxiety disorders. Research has shown this to be the most effective treatment for anxiety. Here I explain how it applies to overanalyzing.
--What anxiety is, what makes it worse, and what makes it better

--The root of overanalyzing: fear of uncertainty

--The solution: exposure to uncertainty

--The brain science behind anxiety and how it gets better

--How this brain science applies to overanalyzing and its treatment



&nbsp;
Video 3: Anxiety 101, Part 2
--The 2 options: control strategies and acceptance strategies

--The 3 parts of an anxiety problem: thoughts, emotions, and behaviors

--Which strategy works best for each part

&nbsp;
Video 4: Overanalyzing 101
--Automatic thoughts vs. effortful thinking

--The key skill

--The "math problem exercise": a demonstration of automatic thoughts, effortful thinking, and the key skill

--Giving yourself permission to use the skill

&nbsp;
Video 5: The Index Card Technique: Permission to Not Worry
--The index card technique

--Reasons to give yourself permission to not do worry behavior

--The "gun to your head" technique

&nbsp;
Video 6: Skill Practice
Note: This video is a lot to take in all at once.  It consists of a number of exercises that are helpful at practicing the key skill we are working on. It is fine if you prefer to watch 1 or 2 of the exercises and give yourself a few days to practice those before watching and practicing the rest of the exercises. In the meantime, you can move on to the rest of the videos even if you haven't done all the exercises yet. Also note that the first exercise, the listening exercise, does not need to be practiced, it is more of a demonstration.
I'd also like to note that clients often tell me they have heard of and tried mindfulness before and feel they "are terrible at it" or "can't do it".  Keep an open mind and give it a try...I address this in the video, but there is actually no way to be bad at mindfulness unless you are not even trying. The problem is that it is often taught just slightly off-target enough to make you feel this way. I believe I teach it a little bit differently than most and you will find it useful. Remember that it is a skill to practice that has cumulative benefits over time, not a relaxation exercise to calm you down and it takes repetitive, consistent practice at it to see its biggest benefits. You will not do it one time and feel that it did anything.
--Introduction to mindfulness meditation specifically for anxiety and overanalyzing

--Mindfulness exercise: Listening

--Mindfulness exercise: The movie theater

--Mindfulness exercise: Noticing your breath and your thoughts

--Mindfulness exercise: Acceptance of uncertainty

--The "Spotlight on the Present" skill practice



&nbsp;
Video 7: Decision-Making
--How overanalysis relates to decision-making

--The difference between worry behavior and decision-making

--The 2 questions to tell you whether to analyze or not

--Practicing rapid decision-making as exposure to uncertainty

--Anti-perfectionism: how to not be a "life optimizer"

--Daily "decision-making time"



&nbsp;
Video 8: More Exposure Exercises
Note: This video has a small skip in the video at one point… This is not an error, I had to cut a small part out, you are not missing anything.
--Exposure exercise: Imaginal exposure

--Exposure exercise: Wishing for bad things to happen



&nbsp;
Video 9: Other Important Behavior Changes
--Reassurance-seeking

--How loved ones should respond to reassurance-seeking

--Researching worries online
I want to offer one point of clarification here which is that in this video, I advise not talking about your worries with loved ones. Note that I mean not to do reassurance seeking behavior or venting just for the sake of venting. If you need actual, practical help from a loved one with something, by all means get the help you need.

A few years ago I was in a period of life where I had the worst anxiety and overthinking/ ocd that I had ever experienced. I somehow came across your website and bought the video series…Ever since, my life has changed. I'm so grateful that I am able to finally live my life. Thank you so much for creating this series and making it accessible online for anyone in the world going through anxiety and overthinking. It has truly changed my life and I tear up when I remember the life I used to live with overthinking. Thank you truly.

#### – Client Testimonial
I came into Anxiety Solutions not knowing anything about where to start or how to heal my mind. From the very beginning, Dr. Gaus was clear about what to do and the reasons behind it, helping me to understand my anxiety, where it comes from, and how to combat it. I have mastered new tools that I can now use any time I fall into a little bit of anxiety! I am so grateful for my time with Dr. Gaus- not only did it make life easier but it helped me to attack my goals with more clarity and focus, without the distraction of anxiety.

#### – Jon Bell, M.D., Psychiatrist
“As a colleague and former supervisor of Dr. Stein, I’ve witnessed his clients, who are often tortured by anxiety and worry, put an end to their suffering in a short period of time. He gets impressive results. I have seen him take clients from having extremely severe cases of OCD to being almost symptom-free in a matter of weeks or months. His commitment to utilizing proven, state-of-the-art treatment methods has earned him a reputation for achieving excellent outcomes for people with anxiety and OCD. Dr. Stein is exceptionally talented and I consider him one of the best, most effective therapists for anxiety and OCD that I have known in my 33 years in the field.”

I’ve been in therapy off and on for years and was pretty skeptical that this would work. The approach was so different than all other anxiety treatments I’ve tried, and it was amazing. I had less than 10 sessions, and I felt like a different person.
