Anxiety treatment in Lakewood, for when worry takes over

We treat generalized anxiety, constant worry, anxiety that shows up in your body as tension or poor sleep, and anxiety that drives checking or rituals. Panic attacks have their own page, because when attacks keep coming back the treatment focus is different. If you aren't sure which fits, the free pre-assessment sorts that out.

They can look alike from the outside, and it's common to arrive unsure. Our team works out whether the checking or rituals are driven by general worry or by the intrusive thoughts of OCD. The treatment then follows what we find rather than the label you came in with, and we explain our reasoning to you.

You can start without one. The first step is a free pre-assessment, where a clinician talks with you about what has been going on. If you already have a diagnosis, we take a fresh look at it instead of assuming it still fits, because anxiety can look a lot like other conditions.

It is about ten hours a week instead of one. Group and individual therapy run alongside in-house psychiatry, and a weekly Track 9 check-in shows whether things are moving. The same team holds all of it, so you aren't carrying messages between a therapist and a prescriber who never speak.

You keep your existing prescriptions, and nothing changes without a conversation with you first. Our prescriber coordinates with the doctor or psychiatrist you already see rather than working around them, and can see what therapy is showing week to week when a change is worth discussing.

Groups meet Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 am to 12 pm, which suits people with flexible schedules or on leave. Some jobs make that easier than others, and we'll be straight with you about it. Bring your week to the call and we'll look at it honestly with you.

We accept Colorado Access, Cigna, Anthem, BCBS PPO, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Tricare West and Kaiser Medicaid. Medicare isn't one of the plans we can accept; if that's your coverage, admissions can talk through other options with you. Admissions runs the benefits check for you.

A clinician talks through what has been going on, how long it has lasted and what you have already tried, then says honestly whether this is the right level of care. If another level of care would serve you better, they help you find it. It's free, and there is no obligation to start.
