Anxiety Therapy for Residents of Falcon, CO

Welcome

Falcon offers a unique lifestyle. You have wide open spaces and views of the Front Range that are hard to beat. But living "out east" also comes with a specific set of challenges. The rapid growth of the area often outpaces the infrastructure. This can leave you feeling isolated or constantly in the car.

At Inner Heart Therapy, I offer specialized online therapy for adults living in Falcon and the surrounding plains. I provide a consistent and confidential space where you can slow down and focus on yourself without the stress of driving into town.

Overcoming the "Bedroom Community" Disconnect

Many people move to Falcon for the quiet neighborhoods of Woodmen Hills or Meridian Ranch. However, the reality is that you likely spend a huge portion of your life driving elsewhere for work, school, or errands.

This constant shuttle can leave you feeling like you are just sleeping in Falcon rather than truly living there. I help you bridge that gap. My practice is 100% online. This means you can access high-quality mental health care from your home office or a comfortable spot in your house. You do not have to sacrifice another hour of your day to traffic just to feel better.

You will receive a response in two business days.

The Reality of Stress in Falcon

Anxiety in this area often stems from the tension between the rural atmosphere and suburban pressures. You might be dealing with:

• The Woodmen Road Commute: The daily grind of driving west into Colorado Springs or south to the bases. The traffic, construction, and winter road conditions can start your day with a spike of cortisol.

• The Relentless Wind: It is a fact of life here, but the constant high winds on the plains can actually overstimulate the nervous system. This can lead to irritability, headaches, and a feeling of being "on edge" that you can't quite explain.

• Rapid Expansion: Watching the open fields turn into new subdivisions can create a sense of instability or loss.

• Isolation: When the weather is bad or the roads are icy, Falcon can feel very far away from everything. This physical distance often leads to emotional isolation.

If you find that your patience wears thin the moment you walk in the door, or if you feel a sense of dread when the wind starts to howl, we can work together to help you find your ground.

Therapy Built for the High Plains

We will move beyond generic advice to create a plan that works for your environment.

1. Regulating the Nervous System: We pay close attention to how your body reacts to your environment. We will find ways to soothe your system after a chaotic commute or a day of overstimulation.

2. Cognitive Strategies: I help you identify the thought patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode. We use practical tools to shift from "bracing for impact" to a state of calm awareness.

3. Healing Trauma: If you are carrying past burdens, the quiet of the plains can sometimes make them louder. I offer the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and trauma-informed care to help you process these experiences safely.

Sessions are held via a secure video platform. You get expert care without the visibility of a local waiting room or the need to travel.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Care "Out East"

Finding a therapist who truly understands and affirms your identity can be difficult in rural-adjacent communities. I am committed to providing a fully inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals in Falcon and Peyton.

• Safety First: You can explore your identity, relationships, and history in a space that is completely private and secure.

• No Judgment: Whether you are new to the area or have lived here for years, you can bring your full self to therapy. You do not need to edit your story to fit in.

FAQs

Do you serve the Paint Brush Hills or Peyton areas?

Yes. I work with clients throughout the entire Falcon and Peyton region. Whether you are in a new development in Meridian Ranch, an established home in Paint Brush Hills, or further east in Peyton, you can access the same level of care online.

Is online therapy effective for wind/weather anxiety?

It can be very effective. Weather anxiety is often about a lack of control and a heightened nervous system response. By working on regulation skills in the safety of your own home, you can retrain your body to remain calm even when the environment outside is chaotic.

I work on Peterson/Schriever. Can I do therapy on my lunch break?

Many of my clients fit therapy into their workday. Because sessions are online, you can meet from your parked car or a private space during a break. However, please ensure you have a truly private location where you will not be interrupted or overheard.
