Meet Dr. Jackie Kantor
The thoughts don’t stop because life is supposed to be beautiful right now. Dr. Kantor works with postpartum OCD, intrusive thoughts people are afraid to tell anyone, trauma they’ve been managing without processing, and anxiety that follows them no matter what they do.
She’s direct, a little irreverent and serious about one goal above all: making herself obsolete.
In-person sessions available in Englewood, Colorado. Virtual sessions available across PSYPACT-participating states.

Who Dr. Kantor Works With
Adults
Dr. Kantor works with adults navigating OCD, anxiety, trauma, grief, and the compounding stress of high-pressure careers. Many of her clients are high achievers, including lawyers, engineers and healthcare professionals, who hold themselves to a standard most people couldn’t sustain.
Perinatal & New Parents
She has a dedicated specialty in perinatal mental health, supporting expecting and new parents of all genders through perinatal OCD, postpartum anxiety, the identity shifts that come with having a child, and the thoughts that show up in the middle of the night that feel impossible to tell anyone.
LGBTQI+ Clients
Dr. Kantor is especially passionate about supporting LGBTQI+ individuals, bringing an affirming, identity-aware lens to OCD, anxiety, and trauma work.
Dr. Kantor's Approach
Dr. Kantor builds trust quickly and uses it to help clients build real competence: the ability to handle hard things on their own. She draws on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other evidence-based approaches, and adjusts based on what each client needs.
When life throws something unexpected into a session, like a hard week, a loss or a relationship rupture, she works with it directly. Her style is direct and flexible, and she treats humor as a real clinical tool. The hard stuff doesn’t have to feel unbearable to be worth doing.
