Anxiety Therapy for Residents of Longmont, CO

Welcome

Longmont has a spirit all its own. It is more laid back than Boulder and distinct from the northern hubs. With incredible views of Longs Peak, a vibrant downtown, and a strong sense of community, it is a place where people put down roots. But even in a town that values connection and independence, stress can easily take over.

At Inner Heart Therapy, I provide specialized online counseling for adults in Longmont, Niwot, and Hygiene. I offer a confidential space where you can step out of the daily hustle, lower your anxiety, and find a sense of calm that matches the view to the west.

Therapy Without the Diagonal Highway

For many Longmont residents, the day is defined by the commute. Whether you are driving the Diagonal (Hwy 119) to Boulder, heading down Hwy 287 to Denver, or navigating the traffic on Ken Pratt, you spend a lot of time in the car.

I believe your therapy shouldn't add to that mileage. My practice is 100% online. You can access high-quality, affirming care from your home in Prospect, your apartment near Main Street, or a quiet office space. This allows you to reclaim your time and focus your energy on healing rather than driving.

You will receive a response in two business days.

Understanding Anxiety in Longmont

Life here is a mix of small-town roots and big-city growth. That combination often creates a unique type of high-functioning anxiety.

• The Commuter Grind: The stress of the Diagonal is real. Navigating rush hour traffic, accidents, and construction can leave your nervous system fried before you even walk through your front door.

• Rapid Change: Longmont is growing fast. Watching open spaces disappear or seeing your quiet neighborhood get busier can create a sense of instability or loss.

• The "Do It All" Pressure: There is a culture here of being active and involved. Between the breweries, the trails at Rabbit Mountain, and community events, you might feel guilty if you aren't constantly "out and about" enjoying life.

• Tech Sector Stress: With excellent municipal internet (NextLight) and a growing tech scene, many residents work high-pressure jobs from home. The boundary between work and rest often blurs, leading to burnout.

If you find yourself unable to switch off after work, or if you feel a constant tightness in your chest despite the relaxed environment, we can work together to help you find your center.

My Approach: Practical and Regulating

We will move beyond generic advice to create a plan that fits your lifestyle.

1. Nervous System Regulation: We start by listening to your body. We will identify the physical signs of stress—like shallow breathing or a clenched jaw—and learn simple tools to soften them.

2. CBT for Worry: I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you catch the "what if" thoughts that keep you up at night. We focus on grounding you in what is true right now.

3. Restoring Balance: For those dealing with sensory overload or chronic stress, I offer the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP). This listening therapy helps reset your nervous system so you can feel safe and social again.

Sessions are secure and video-based. Thanks to Longmont's great connectivity, online sessions are often seamless and incredibly convenient.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Care in Boulder County

Longmont has a strong and growing Pride community, but finding a therapist who is a specific fit for your needs is still important. I am committed to providing a fully inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals in Longmont.

• Your Space, Your Terms: You can explore your identity, relationships, and history in a private environment.

• No Explanations Needed: You will never have to educate me on the basics of your experience. We can focus directly on your goals, whether that involves gender, sexuality, or simply managing anxiety.

FAQs

Do you see clients from Niwot or Firestone?

Yes. I work with adults throughout the St. Vrain Valley and beyond. Whether you are in the quiet of Niwot, over in Firestone, or right off Hover Street, you can access the same specialized care online.

Is online therapy effective for anxiety?

Yes. In fact, many clients find it easier to open up when they are in their own comfortable space. Without the stress of a commute or a waiting room, we can often get to the heart of the matter faster.

Can therapy help if I work from home and feel isolated?

Absolutely. Working from home can be convenient, but it can also be lonely and blur boundaries. Therapy provides a consistent point of connection in your week and helps you establish routines that separate your work life from your personal life.
