Exposure Response Prevention Therapy in Denver
Overcome anxiety and OCD with a proven therapy method.
What is Exposure Response Prevention? (ERP)
At My Denver Therapy, we understand the debilitating effects of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These conditions can significantly impact your quality of life, making it difficult to function and enjoy your daily activities.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is a highly effective evidence-based treatment approach that can help you conquer these challenges and live a more fulfilling life.
ERP therapy is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) technique designed to help individuals with anxiety disorders and OCD gradually confront their fears and anxieties in a controlled and supportive environment. By systematically exposing yourself to anxiety-provoking situations and resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors, you can gradually reduce your fear and anxiety responses.
How does ERP therapy work?
ERP therapy involves two key components:
- Exposure This involves intentionally exposing yourself to situations or objects that trigger anxiety or obsessive thoughts. This exposure can be gradual, starting with less intense situations and progressing to more challenging ones.
- Response Prevention This involves resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors or avoidance strategies. By preventing these behaviors, you can break the cycle of anxiety and learn to cope with discomfort in a healthier way.
Benefits of ERP therapy
ERP therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals struggling with anxiety and OCD, including:
- Reduced anxiety and fear: By confronting your fears head-on, you can gradually reduce the intensity of your anxiety symptoms.
- Improved quality of life: Overcoming anxiety and OCD can significantly improve your overall quality of life, allowing you to participate in activities you once avoided.
- Increased self-confidence: By successfully facing your fears, you can build self-confidence and resilience.
- Long-lasting results: ERP therapy provides long-lasting benefits, empowering you to manage anxiety and OCD symptoms independently.

Other Specialties
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.

Meet our therapists
My Denver Therapy is one of the largest woman-owned therapy private practices in Colorado with many of the best, most requested mental health therapists in the Denver Metro area.
As a therapist-owned practice with decades of combined experience, we care about seeing our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We’re one of the only therapy practices in Colorado with licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, social workers, and psychiatric nurse practitioners who actively see new clients. Whether you’re an adult, teen, young adult, couple, or family, our inclusive therapist team is built to specialize in you.
Our practice started with one therapist in a shared office suite, but we’ve grown to help thousands of people in Colorado by providing in-person therapy at our conveniently located Denver Metro area counseling offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, plus online therapy for clients throughout Colorado. Because of the way our team works, our therapists also provide consultation for other therapists and private practices in the Denver Metro area.
Our inclusive therapists provide some of the most innovative, effective, and in-demand forms of therapy available today, including EMDR, Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, CBT, and IFS. We also have more therapists trained in Ketamine-assisted therapy, EMDR, and more teen therapists and young adult counselors than nearly every other private practice in Denver.
We know that clients want to find the best therapists in Denver, so our team includes therapists with different backgrounds, specialities, and experiences to help you find the right fit. We’ll match you with one of our therapists who is the best for your goals, location, budget, and schedule to help you get started quickly.
We’re out of network for insurance, Tricare, and are unable to take Medicaid, but most of our therapists’ rates are lower than the local and national averages for therapy.
All of our therapists take a client-focused approach to counseling and approach each session with a commitment to your progress and growth.
