Oppositional Defiance Disorder

Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) Therapists in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients

Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral condition that often appears in childhood or adolescence, marked by ongoing patterns of anger, irritability, defiance, and disobedience toward authority figures. Children and teens with ODD may frequently argue with adults, deliberately break rules, or display hostility and resentment that disrupts daily life at home, school, or in social settings. These behaviors can leave parents and caregivers feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure of what steps to take next.

Therapy for ODD can be highly effective, offering strategies to improve emotional regulation, communication skills, and family dynamics. At Westside Behavioral Care, our therapists use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), family therapy, and behavioral modification techniques. Sessions may involve both the child and caregivers, helping families set clear expectations, improve cooperation, and reduce conflict. Our compassionate providers work collaboratively with parents and young clients to build healthier relationships and restore peace in the home. There is real hope for positive change through skilled therapeutic support.

 

Appointments are available in person across the Greater Denver Area, including Aurora, Boulder, Greenwood Village, Lakewood, and Westminster, or through secure online therapy statewide. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other insurance plans. You can browse available therapists by specialty, insurance, location, and age to find the right fit for your needs. You can also call us at (303) 986-4197 or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal assistance scheduling your first session.
