OCD & Anxiety Colorado

OCD & Anxiety Colorado offers a specialized Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and outpatient services for adolescents (ages 12–18) and their families. Founded by Alie Bernard Garza, LCSW—an IOCDF Advocate with lived experience of OCD and ADHD—the clinic was created to meet a critical need for effective, affirming care in the very community where she grew up in Superior/Louisville, Colorado. After years of navigating misdiagnosed and untreated OCD as a teen, Alie built the program she once needed herself.

We provide evidence-based, neurodivergent-affirming care for teens experiencing OCD, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, health anxiety, and school avoidance. Our program is ideal for adolescents who need more than weekly therapy but do not require inpatient or residential treatment.

Our interdisciplinary team includes licensed therapists, an occupational therapist, and an academic coach. Together, we deliver comprehensive, individualized care that supports each teen across home, school, and social environments.

Treatment is rooted in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and includes family therapy, SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), values-based interventions, executive functioning support, and peer connection.

Program Highlights:
• ERP-based, evidence-driven, adolescent-focused care
• Neurodivergent-affirming support for teens with ADHD and Autism
• Academic coaching and occupational therapy
• Family involvement through SPACE and therapy
• Support for school avoidance and executive functioning
• Flexible scheduling and collaborative care model

We help teens and families move forward—rooted in experience, driven by compassion, and grounded in evidence.
