OCD & Anxiety Colorado’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a specialized, evidence-based Intensive Outpatient Program for adolescents and young adults struggling with OCD and anxiety disorders. Our neurodivergent-affirming, family-centered approach includes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), family therapy, SPACE-based parent support, and wraparound services such as medication management, occupational therapy, and academic coaching. Group sessions run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12:00 to 2:30 for cohort B and 3:00 PM for cohort A, with individualized care coordinated around each family’s needs. Our Young Adult IOP is Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. With small group sizes, collaborative treatment planning, and a strong emphasis on aftercare, our IOP empowers young people and their families to build sustainable, long-term recovery.

We offer 55-minute individual therapy sessions at $200 (provided by Kat Dicken, LSW, Sara Anderson, LCSW, Myla Ferland, LSW, and Payge Wyman, LSW) tailored to adolescents and young adults navigating OCD and related disorders, including social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), trichotillomania (hair pulling), and excoriation disorder (skin picking). Each session includes targeted, evidence-based support—like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—as well as regular check-ins to review progress, update goals, and address any challenges that arise along the way.

Provided by Alie Bernard Garza, LCSW and using the evidence-based SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) approach, our 55-minute sessions support parents of adolescents and young adults with OCD and related disorders. Sessions may include parents alone or together with their child, depending on treatment needs. We focus on treatment goals, progress updates, and practical strategies for reducing family accommodation and supporting your child’s progress at home—all within a compassionate, collaborative framework.

Our 55-minute to 120-minute outpatient group sessions provide targeted support for teens, parents, and other specific populations navigating OCD and related disorders. Groups offer a structured, supportive environment to build skills, share experiences, and reduce isolation. Each group is designed around the unique needs of its members—whether that’s teens working on exposure goals, parents learning to reduce accommodation, or others seeking community and tools for change.

Our 55-minute sessions with our education specialist, Scott Prosser, provide personalized academic support and executive function coaching for adolescents and young adults. Designed for both neurotypical and neurodivergent learners—including twice-exceptional, gifted, highly sensitive students, and those navigating mild autism, ADHD, or test anxiety—these sessions combine a strong academic foundation with a holistic, student-centered approach. Support goes beyond traditional tutoring, offering a blend of subject-specific guidance, emotional insight, and practical strategies for organization, time management, and motivation—helping students thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Our 55-minute occupational therapy sessions are led by Paulina Pei, an OT specializing in sensory processing and integration. Certified with the STAR Institute Proficiency Certificate (Level 1) and extensively trained in sensory integration techniques, she focuses on caregiver coaching, relational strategies, and supporting social-emotional development. Sessions are personalized to help clients better understand and regulate their sensory experiences, build meaningful connections, and develop the skills needed to thrive in daily life.
