Accessible Mental Health Therapy

Hi, I’m Lydia.

I’m a mental health therapist in Colorado. I work one-on-one with adolescents and adults struggling with OCD, phobias, and anxiety. I am trained in Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard treatment for OCD. I also work with family members of people with substance use disorder and people impacted by domestic violence.

Therapy Sessions

A typical hour-long therapy session will look like this:

10 min

Catch up from the week

Identify session focus

40 min

Confront situations/topics that cause anxiety

Practice skills, including mindfulness and self-regulation

Explore and challenge limiting stories we tell about ourselves

10 min

Bookmark themes for next time

Select homework focus

Housekeeping: forms and scheduling

Results

Clients who consistently engage in the therapeutic process notice a significant decrease in symptoms of anxiety and OCD, creating space for them to pursue the things that they truly value. My OCD clients have seen significant progress in as little as 4 months of weekly therapy.

Client Testimonial

"I was so lucky to work with Lydia when I had been experiencing intrusive thoughts and OCD. Her friendly demeanor, positive attitude and open mindedness helped me so much with overcoming shame and facing my OCD head on. I saw even more tangible progress in our work together than I thought was possible!"

  • I work with individuals ages 12 and up. My clients have a variety of challenges, including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), relationship concerns, and difficult childhood experiences. I have a special interest in supporting adult children of alcoholics.
