OCD Therapy in Colorado Springs

Find freedom from the cycle. Reclaim calm, clarity, and control—one step at a time.

You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

Our OCD therapy offers a compassionate path forward. We combine evidence-based strategies with trauma-informed care to help you understand your symptoms, reduce anxiety, and feel more in control of your life.

What is OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)?

It’s not about being “too clean” or “too organized”—it’s about living with thoughts that feel impossible to ignore.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and the urges or behaviors (compulsions) that temporarily relieve anxiety. These patterns can become overwhelming, distressing, and disruptive to your daily life.

OCD Therapy with Vivus Counseling

A Space Where You’re Always Safe and Respected

We know how personal OCD symptoms can feel—especially when they involve taboo, scary, or confusing thoughts. At Vivus, you’ll never be judged. Our team is trained to work with all types of OCD content (even the hardest parts) with respect and empathy.

OCD therapy can sound intimidating at first—we get that. That’s why our first sessions focus on trust, understanding, and shared goals.

Here’s how we begin:

  1. Schedule a Consultation – Reach out by phone or online.
  2. Complete Intake Paperwork – Helps us get a full picture of your experience.
  3. Attend Your Initial Session – No exposures, no pressure. Just space to be heard.
  4. Create a Personalized Treatment Plan – Tailored to your symptoms, strengths, and readiness.
  5. Begin Weekly Therapy – 50–60 minute sessions using ERP and other tools, paced for your comfort.

We don’t force exposures or push before you’re ready. Everything is done collaboratively—with deep care and consent.

Vivus offers therapy for:

  • Adults, teens, and children (10+) navigating OCD or obsessive-compulsive symptoms
  • Clients with contamination fears, intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, or perfectionism
  • Individuals with co-occurring anxiety, trauma, or legal requirements
  • People feeling ashamed, isolated, or unsure if what they’re experiencing “counts” as OCD

Whether you’ve been diagnosed or not, if these symptoms are interfering with your daily life, we’re here to help.

  • Greater calm, presence, and emotional resilience
  • Stronger relationships and clearer decision-making
  • A renewed sense of peace and possibility
