OCD Counseling in Colorado

Intrusive thoughts that won't let go. Rituals or checking that eat up hours of your day. The exhausting loop of trying to make an uncertain feeling go away. You shouldn't have to fight OCD alone. Overcomers Counseling offers specialized OCD counseling across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Fight This Alone

OCD convinces you that the thoughts and rituals are necessary to prevent something bad from happening, even when part of you knows that isn't true. That conflict is exhausting to carry alone. Our therapists provide specialized, evidence-based treatment specifically for OCD, not generic anxiety support.

Recognizing OCD

OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) paired with repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) aimed at reducing the distress those thoughts cause. This can show up as checking, counting, contamination fears, intrusive thoughts about harm, or many other forms. OCD often hides behind shame, and many people wait years before seeking help.

How Our Therapists Help

Our providers use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD, to help you gradually face feared thoughts and situations without engaging in compulsions. We coordinate with our psychiatry team when medication support may help. For clients who want it, we also offer faith-integrated counseling.

What is the goal of counseling for OCD?

Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like your brain is a broken record, constantly replaying the same anxious thought. The goal of counseling isn’t to break the record entirely but to give you a new record player. We work together to help you understand what's driving your obsessions and compulsions, and we’ll give you the tools to stop the loop. We believe you have the power to take control of your thoughts and actions and to live a more peaceful life.

Can a person with OCD be cured with therapy?

OCD isn't a disease that can be "cured" like a common cold, but it can be managed so that it no longer controls your life. Think of it as a chronic condition that you learn to live with and manage. The most effective treatment is a type of therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which helps you confront your fears in a safe way. With the right support and tools, you can reduce the power of your obsessions and live a life that is free from constant fear.

What’s the difference between being a "neat freak" and having OCD?

It’s a common misconception that OCD is just about being a "neat freak," but it's a lot more than that. Being a neat freak is a preference for order and cleanliness. OCD is a diagnosable condition where a person is controlled by intrusive thoughts and fears that lead to compulsive, repetitive behaviors. It's not a choice; it's a deeply distressing and often exhausting condition. We understand this struggle, and we're here to help you get your life back.

How can a counselor help me with my intrusive thoughts?

Intrusive thoughts can feel like an unwanted guest in your brain, constantly whispering fears and doubts. Counseling provides a safe space for you to confront those thoughts and learn new ways of responding to them. We’ll help you understand that a thought is just a thought, and you don’t have to act on it. We believe in your capacity to feel better and to live a life that is not controlled by fear.

AI Summary
Across hundreds of client reviews, one theme comes through again and again: people feel truly heard here. Clients describe finally finding a therapist who understood them, gaining real tools for anxiety, trauma, and anger management, and walking away from sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. Many say Overcomers was the first place therapy actually felt like the right fit — a space to be met with warmth, patience, and genuine care on the path to becoming who they're meant to be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Serena has not only knowledge, but compassion, understanding, guidance to push through whatever obstacles I have faced, and the advice needed to learn new traits or skills. I’ve definitely had a battle of finding a therapist I not only connect with, but someone I’m comfortable sharing some uncomfortable situations with to help move past. She’s been so very patient with me and my life’s ups and downs. I can’t thank her enough for being so genuine! Has been nothing but a great experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have been with overcomers for years as a therapy patient and recently transfered from a different psychiatrist to Shannon Powell. She made the whole process so simple and seamless. I was honestly expecting things to be a lot more difficult but was pleasantly surprised. Thank you for making me feel so heard and understood! 10/10 stars!

Miranda Puente, LSW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I feel like she listens to everything I have to say in a non-judgemental way. She remains nuetral and provide valid information as necessary and doesnt feed into my delusions, yet help me escape them step by step. When we are speaking i feel she is very attentive and engage in the conversation(s) at hand. I enjoy how relatable she can be on difficult topics. All I have to say about Miranda is GOAT.
