Anxiety Therapy for Residents of Provo, UT

Welcome

Are you looking for affirming online therapy in Provo, Utah? When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to feel lost and uncertain about the next step. At Inner Heart Therapy, I offer compassionate, confidential, and LGBTQ+-affirming therapy to residents across Utah, including Provo. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, faith transitions, or identity concerns, I provide a safe space to process and heal.

As an ex-Mormon therapist, I understand the unique challenges of questioning faith, navigating family expectations, and redefining identity beyond the Church. Whether you're untangling deep-rooted beliefs, setting healthy boundaries, or working through religious trauma, I offer a non-judgmental, understanding approach to help you move forward.

Provo is a place deeply connected to its religious roots, which can make finding an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist or someone who understands faith transitions difficult. With online therapy, you can access specialized, affirming support without leaving your home.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone, let’s take the first step toward healing together.

You will receive a response in two business days.

What anxiety looks like in Provo

Anxiety here can hide under I am fine. Your mind ramps on University Parkway. Your chest tightens during a lingering hallway chat at church. You hold it together through classes at BYU or a long shift on Center Street, then snap at home and feel guilty. Midterms, mission talk, wedding timelines, and winter inversion add weight you feel in your body. If you are not sure what you are dealing with, we will map it together and choose steps that fit Provo life.

How therapy helps

We keep it simple and usable. First we notice your tells, breath speed, jaw set, shoulder lift, racing thoughts. Then we add small, repeatable skills you can use before a hard conversation, between classes or meetings, or when bedtime turns into scrolling. I pair clear thinking tools with nervous system work so choices get easier and your body settles. If you want more body based support, I also offer polyvagal informed tools and the Safe and Sound Protocol. Sessions are online across Utah, so you can meet from a quiet room at home, your parked car near Rock Canyon, or any private spot that works.

Support for Provo rhythms

Campus schedules, startup sprints, family expectations, calling workloads, and surprise snow in April can wreck sleep and mood. We will design routines that flex with your calendar. Think short focus blocks for brain heavy work, down regulation after late finishes, and steady steps away from all or nothing productivity.

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in Provo

You deserve therapy where your whole self fits. Bring questions about gender, sexuality, dating, family, faith shifts, being out on campus or at work, or choosing privacy. No code switching, no shrinking, no educating your therapist. We move at your pace and keep safety at the center.

Absolutely. I work with many clients in Provo who are navigating the intersections of faith, identity, and belonging.

You won’t be met with assumptions here, just space to be fully seen and supported.

I support adults experiencing all kinds of anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, high-functioning anxiety, and anxiety tied to trauma or past experiences. My work isn’t about quick fixes or forced positivity. It’s about helping your nervous system settle, so you can move through the world with more ease and less tension in your body.
