Online Anxiety Therapist in Colorado and Oregon

About Halle Thomas, Your Anxiety Therapist

Your friends (and your partner, and your family, and your colleagues) know they can count on you, but it’s rare that you ever let them in on what you’re struggling with.

So while they’re blowing up your phone asking for the best book and podcast recommendations for all things self-improvement, you’re left trying to DIY your way to a calmer mind. And while I’m not saying you need to pour your heart out to *them,* you need having someone (like me!) in your corner to help you.

This is me, please help!

Hi! I’m Halle and I’ve got a space prepared for you that’s spiral-safe and struggle bus friendly.

I’m passionate about teaching people how to stop stockpiling anxiety like it’s going out of style à la the Toilet Paper Craze of 2020 (because that’s exactly what’s happening in your brain).

Because I also want to give you credit where it’s due. I know you’ve already been working so hard at taking care of yourself in the ways you know how. But it really is time to stop piecemealing your approach to managing anxiety and let a pro (hi, it’s me!!) step in.

Let's Chat

I’m a professionally educated, license-wielding therapist, and a living, breathing, chronic DIYer who knows how good it can feel to finally (finally!) let someone else step in and offer guidance.

  • One might say I’m obsessed with education.

    My bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Gonzaga University wasn’t enough so I tacked on another degree.

    I rounded out my professional education with a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy, from Lewis & Clark College.

  • I’m licensed as a professional counselor, in not one, but two states!

    Colorado License #0019450

    Oregon License #C7789

  • These are a handful of trainings that influence how I work:

    Brainspotting Phase 1: Attuning to BIPOC Experiences

    Brainspotting Phase 2: Attuning to BIPOC Experiences

    Brainspotting Phase 3: BIPOC Brainspotting

    200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, from Yoga Tree in San Francisco, CA

Therapy’s not all I do though!

I happen to be a pro at:

Recreating gluten-free, allergen-friendly versions of the Creole food I grew up with 

Consuming okra in all of its forms (minus that okra water trend going around right now)

Weaving spiritual practices into everything I do

My other talents include:

Seeking out silliness (whether I’m scavenging for memes or hanging out with a donkey in a mini-sombrero, I. Will. Find. It.)

Putting an end to slander against Geminis

Quoting lines from Legally Blonde, Anchorman, and other early 00s movies at the perfect times

I believe my ancestors’ legacy of facing the impossible lives on in me.

I’ve always loved hearing people’s stories, especially my dad’s. He used to tell me what it was like to be a Black man living in the Jim Crow South.

Every story was imbued with little hints and tips for how to find a way through, even when the odds seemed impossible.

One of the things I love most about being the descendent of my West African ancestors who survived enslavement, and my Polish and Croatian ancestors who fled Europe is this: their legacy of facing the impossible lives on in me.

Now it’s your turn to have me walk with you through all that feels impossible in your life.
