Anxiety Therapy in Meriden, CT

Welcome

Are you looking for compassionate online therapy in Meriden, Connecticut? Even when life seems stable from the outside, anxiety can make it hard to slow down and breathe. At Inner Heart Therapy, I offer affirming, confidential online sessions for adults across New Haven County and throughout Connecticut. My goal is to create a space where you can untangle what is happening inside and find your way back to steadiness.

If you are struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or constant tension, therapy can help you understand your patterns and build practical ways to cope. Together, we will work toward calmer days and more self-trust, one step at a time.

As a queer-affirming and neurodiversity-informed therapist, I value honesty, inclusion, and safety. You will not need to filter your experience or explain who you are. Whether you are managing panic, worry, or exhaustion, therapy can help you reconnect with a sense of calm and control.

Finding a therapist in central Connecticut can feel overwhelming, but online therapy removes barriers like traffic, travel, and scheduling stress. You can meet from home, during a break, or anywhere private that feels comfortable.

You do not have to do this alone. Let’s take the first step toward calm together.

You will receive a response in two business days.

What anxiety looks like in Meriden

Anxiety here often hides behind “I’m just busy.” Your thoughts may race while driving down Broad Street, waiting at the grocery store, or trying to unwind after work. Your chest tightens on the commute, during conversations that feel too loaded, or when another unexpected bill shows up. Maybe you stay composed through shifts at the hospital, school, or office, then fall apart once you get home. Weather swings, financial stress, and long days on the road can all keep your system on edge. If you are not sure what you are feeling, we can map it together and find steps that fit Meriden life.

How therapy helps

We keep therapy simple and compassionate. First we notice your signals—how your body feels, how your breathing changes, and what thoughts loop when stress hits. Then we test small tools you can use before a hard talk, between tasks, or when bedtime turns into overthinking. I blend clear thinking strategies with nervous system awareness so you can move from reaction to regulation. If you want deeper body-based support, I also offer polyvagal-informed tools and the Safe and Sound Protocol.

Sessions are available online across Connecticut, so you can meet from home, your car near Hubbard Park, or any private spot where you feel grounded.

Support for Meriden rhythms

Shift work, long commutes, and family schedules can stretch your energy thin. Add in Connecticut’s changing seasons, traffic, and constant to-do lists, and it can feel impossible to rest. Together, we will create routines that fit your actual life—short focus sessions for busy mornings, recovery time after long shifts, hydration and rest cues that work, and consistent steps toward balance.

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in Meriden

You deserve therapy that honors your whole self. Bring questions about gender, sexuality, relationships, family, or faith. You will never be asked to minimize your story or hide what matters to you. We move at your pace and keep emotional safety at the center of our work.
