Specializing in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Therapy in Fort Collins and Surrounding Communities
Are you experiencing obsessive compulsive disorder?
When doubts keep returning no matter how many times you answer them, or when an urge has to be acted on before you can move to the next thing, the Colorado Women’s Center’s Obsessive Compulsive Disorder therapists in Fort Collins can help. Checking, counting, rereading, washing, or mentally running through something until it feels right takes hours out of a week and tends to be done alone, which is part of why women arrive exhausted and embarrassed. Our approach to OCD therapy for women works on the mechanics of it, meaning what sets the obsession off, what the compulsion is meant to prevent, and what happens when you leave a little space between the two. You will have a plan built around your specific obsessions rather than a general one, and you will be able to tell it is working by how much of your day comes back.

How can a CWC therapist help with obsessive compulsive disorder?
Obsessive thoughts are consuming in a way that is hard to convey to someone who has not had them, particularly when the content is the kind you would not say out loud. Your therapist has heard it. Sessions here also look at the fear or the old hurt sitting under the obsession, since that often shapes what your mind fixes on. Much of this work draws on exposure therapy, which means approaching what triggers the obsession in small, planned steps while holding off on the compulsion until the urge drops on its own. That is uncomfortable by design, and your therapist sets the pace with you rather than pushing you into it. Progress on OCD is measured in weeks and months, not sessions, and the early wins tend to be small enough that you might miss them if no one points them out.
Compulsions rarely arrive without company. If a good deal of what drives yours is a standard you cannot fall short of, perfectionism therapy in Fort Collins may be the more direct starting point. If your baseline has been keyed up long enough that the obsessions have gotten louder along with it, stress therapy in Fort Collins tends to be the better fit. Your therapist will help you sort out which is feeding which.
