Anxiety Therapy for Residents of Fountain, CO
Welcome
Life in Fountain often means balancing the benefits of a close-knit community with the intensity of living next to a major military installation. Between the training exercises, the booming growth of neighborhoods like Lorson Ranch, and the constant flow of traffic, finding a quiet moment can feel impossible.
At Inner Heart Therapy, I provide specialized online counseling for adults in Fountain, Security-Widefield, and the surrounding areas. I offer a space where you can step away from the noise, process your stress, and find a sense of stability that comes from within.
Therapy That Fits Your Schedule
For residents of Southern El Paso County, accessing mental health care often involves a frustrating drive north. Fighting traffic on I-25 or navigating the construction on Powers Boulevard just to get to an appointment adds unnecessary stress to your day.
I bridge that gap by bringing anxiety-focused, LGBTQ+ affirming care directly to you. My practice is 100% online. You can attend high-quality therapy sessions from the privacy of your home without the hassle of the commute.
You will receive a response in two business days.
Understanding Stress in Fountain
Anxiety here is often tied to the unique environment of the Fountain Valley. You might be managing the pressure of military life, either as a service member, a spouse, or a civilian living in a military-centric town.
The Noise Factor: The sounds of artillery practice, helicopters, and jets from Fort Carson can keep your nervous system in a state of constant high alert. Even if you are used to it, your body might still be reacting to the noise.
Traffic Stress: The bottleneck on I-25, the congestion on Mesa Ridge Parkway, and the long drive to work can leave you feeling drained before your day even starts.
Transient Community: The rapid turnover of neighbors and friends due to deployments and PCS moves can lead to a sense of loneliness or a lack of deep connection.
The "Tough it Out" Culture: In a community that values resilience and grit, it can be hard to admit when you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed.
If you find yourself snapping at loved ones after a long day or feeling a sense of dread when things finally get quiet, we can work together to map out what your body needs to feel safe.
My Approach: Finding Quiet in the Chaos
We will work together to build a toolkit that helps you handle the specific stressors of life in this area.
Nervous System Regulation: We focus on down-regulating your system. This is especially helpful if you deal with noise sensitivity or the constant low-grade stress of living in a high-activity zone.
CBT Strategies: I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you catch the negative thought spirals that come with anxiety and burnout.
Trauma-Informed Care: I offer a safe space to process past experiences. For those who need body-based healing, I offer the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to help reset your sense of safety.
Sessions are secure and video-based. You can meet from a quiet room in your house or any private spot where you can speak freely.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy South of the Springs
Finding a therapist who affirms your identity can be difficult in more traditional or conservative communities. I am dedicated to providing a fully inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals in Fountain.
A Safe Harbor: You deserve a space where you can be open about your gender, sexuality, and relationships without fear of judgment.
Privacy Matters: Online therapy allows you to access affirming care without the visibility of walking into a local office. Your privacy and safety are my top priorities.
FAQs
Is online anxiety therapy private?
Yes. I use a HIPAA-compliant video platform that ensures your sessions are completely confidential. For many people in Fountain, especially those connected to the military or government work, privacy is a major concern. Online therapy provides a layer of separation between your mental health care and your workplace or community.
Do you work with people in Security-Widefield or Stratmoor?
Absolutely. I work with adults throughout the entire Fountain Valley. Whether you are in Widefield, Stratmoor Hills, or near the mesa, you can access the same specialized care.
Can you help with noise sensitivity?
Yes. Many of my clients in this area struggle with the noise from the base or the railroad. We can use nervous system regulation techniques and the Safe and Sound Protocol to help reduce your sensitivity to sound and help your body learn to filter out the background chaos.
