How do I know if it's OCD or anxiety?

Both can involve checking and rituals. With OCD, the rituals answer specific unwanted thoughts that keep coming back; with anxiety, the habits usually take the edge off more general, everyday worry. Our team looks at what is driving it before a plan is built, and the treatment follows what we find.

Are intrusive thoughts a sign of OCD?

Everyone has odd or unwanted thoughts sometimes, and most pass without much notice. With OCD they stick. They cause real distress, keep returning, and lead to rituals or avoidance meant to make them stop. If that pattern is taking up time in your day, it's worth talking through at a free pre-assessment.

Do I need an OCD diagnosis to start?

You can start without one. The first step is a free pre-assessment, where a clinician listens to what the loop has been doing to your days. If you already have a diagnosis, we take a fresh look at it, because OCD and anxiety can look alike from the outside.

Will I have to change my medication?

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.

How is IOP different from weekly therapy?

It is about ten hours a week instead of one. Three morning groups and a private session each week sit alongside psychiatry in the same program, and a weekly Track 9 check-in shows whether things are moving. The same team holds the plan, so nothing gets lost between appointments.

See how the program works
Can I keep working during the program?

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.

How people balance work and treatment
Is OCD treatment covered by insurance?

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.

What happens at the free pre-assessment?

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.
