Anxiety Therapy for Overthinkers Who Feel Torn Between Other Peoples’ Expectations and Who They Really Are
You look accomplished on the outside, but internally you’re exhausted from overthinking, guilt, and trying to figure out how to honor yourself without feeling like you’re letting everyone else down.
*All sessions are provided virtually through Simple Practice’s secure video platform
Your brain has learned that success is what keeps you safe.
Somewhere along the way, you picked up the belief that being prepared, productive, accommodating, or impressive was the best way to avoid criticism, rejection, or disappointing the people around you.
So you became the person who holds it all together. The one who gets it right, thinks three steps ahead, and rarely lets anyone down because making a mistake feels far more costly than it should.
This kind of anxiety often gets missed in women, BIPOC folks, LGBTQ+ folks, and men who’ve been taught that their only worth is tied to what they can do for others.
Therapy helps you examine the rules you’ve been living by, decide which ones no longer fit, and build a steadier relationship with yourself that isn’t based on performance alone.
Right now, your days look like…
-
Feeling guilty every time you want something your family wouldn’t understand
-
Second-guessing whether a decision is actually right for you vs what's expected of you
-
Replaying conversations long after they're over (especially in the shower)
-
Feel like you’re performing your life instead of living it
-
Carrying the pressure to be the responsible one, the good one, or the successful one
-
Questioning who you really are and what you actually like
You're not broken. You’ve just spent a long time trying to be who other people expected you to be.
You may have learned that being “good” meant being selfless, successful, loyal, or easy to accommodate. So now, even when something doesn’t feel right, you still question yourself before you question the pressure around you.
So of course that’s left you stuck in overthinking, guilt, and the constant fear of getting it wrong (and what it might cost you if you do).
Therapy offers a space to slow that down so you can understand the beliefs, roles, and expectations that shaped you, so you can build a steadier, more grounded relationship with yourself.
Here’s what starting therapy actually looks like

We’ll chat for 15 minutes about your goals and my expertise to see if it makes sense to book a first session.

-
Get a Custom Plan
Based on your current experience and goals for the future, I’ll present you with a roadmap for how we’ll address your anxiety.
-
Work Through It
We’ll meet at the same time each week and start practicing new techniques to reduce your anxiety.
Here’s what to expect during your therapy sessions
I’ll join our video session with a minimum of 2 drinks in hand (one Stanley full of ice water and a mug of whatever herbal tea I’m currently obsessed with).
Instead of leaving you wondering what we’re going to talk about, if you’ll have enough to talk about, and if you can *really* share about your recurring stress dream, we’ll start every session with a recap of the previous one and set an agenda for what we’ll be getting into next.
Then we’ll use Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (aka parts work) to get you relief from your anxiety. If spirituality is part of your life, we might also pull a few tarot cards or craft a custom ritual for you to support the work we’re doing in therapy.
My service dog (Odin) will likely make a cameo during our session too (and if you hear him snoring…sorry in advance).
Here’s what one of my colleagues wants you to know about me
“Halle’s integration of non-traditional modalities allows for deeper processing and meaningful healing, particularly for those navigating high-pressure environments where slowing down can feel impossible. I highly recommend working with her.”
– Sarah Rincon, LPC
Weekly therapy sessions are where you’ll learn how to:
Start saying “yes!” to your own preferences without spiraling into shame or existential dread.
Practice naming your needs without feeling guilty for the ways they’re different from your family’s.
Stop questioning which beliefs are yours, and which were handed to you from your family.
Another colleague thinks this is important for you to know too
“Halle is like a breath of fresh air for those experiencing anxiety. In a tornado of intrusive thoughts, fear, shame, and doubt, she is steady hand and a reassuring voice of encouraging you on.”
– Lauren Puliz, LMFT
Your Investment
$225 per session
Paid at the time of each session using your HSA/FSA, credit/debit card.
A note on self-pay therapy:
Paying for therapy directly affords you more privacy and more choices for how you get support with your anxiety.
Instead of being given a mandatory diagnosis and cut off after the 10 sessions your insurance is willing to approve, self-pay therapy allows you to better understand yourself on (and in!) your own terms.
With weekly therapy, we lean on Brainspotting and parts work, along with your cultural and spiritual practices to get relief from anxiety.
Because you’re a whole-ass person and you deserve anxiety treatment that isn’t generic as all get out. Between innovative therapy techniques that go beyond simply talking and the inclusion of all aspects of your identity, you’ll be on your way to a life where anxiety doesn’t control your every move.
FAQs About Anxiety Therapy in Longmont, CO & Portland, OR
-
I hear this a lot, and I want you to know that a bad therapy experience doesn't mean therapy doesn't work for you.
It might mean the fit was off, the approach wasn't right for what you were dealing with, or you were paired with someone who just wasn't your person.
What I do looks different from generic talk therapy. We don't just chat about your week and send you home with a breathing exercise. We work from a clear plan each session, address the root of what's driving your anxiety, and track actual progress over time.
If you're willing to give it another shot, I'd love to show you what a different experience can feel like. -
I know this might be tough to hear, but I fully believe you’ll be much better supported by working with a therapist you can afford to see weekly.
The reason I require a weekly sessions is because I’ve seen how much better the outcomes are when folks attend therapy this consistently.
And because I want you to have the best outcomes in therapy, I’m going to encourage you to find a therapist who’s fees won’t cause more financial strain for you.
-
I’m always happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance.
Providing a superbill means I have to provide you with a diagnosis, which we can talk more about during our sessions.
If you have out-of-network benefits through a PPO plan, your insurance provider might decide to reimburse you between 20%-80% for therapy costs. -
Weekly therapy sessions are offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am-1pm MST.
We’ll meet at the same time each week.
All sessions happen virtually through SimplePractice’s video platform. Due to state laws, you must be located in Colorado or Oregon at the time of our virtual sessions. -
Most clients meet with me weekly for Anxiety Therapy for about 4-12 months.
Some people find after 12 months that they enjoy having a dedicated space for support and continue working with me.
If you prefer to work more quickly or for a shorter amount of time, I recommend a Brainspotting Intensive.

If anxiety is affecting your sleep, your relationships, your ability to make decisions, or your enjoyment of everyday life, it's serious enough to get support.
You don't have to be having panic attacks in a grocery store parking lot to "qualify" for therapy.
A lot of the people I work with look totally fine from the outside. They're hitting their deadlines, showing up for everyone in their life, and keeping it all together. Internally though? They’re running on fumes and self-doubt.
If you're exhausted from managing it alone, that's enough of a reason to reach out. -
Yes! And for a lot of people, it's actually better. Research consistently shows that online therapy produces the same outcomes as in-person therapy for anxiety.
And practically speaking, there's something to be said for doing the emotional heavy lifting from the comfort of your own couch instead of fighting traffic to sit in a waiting room with fluorescent lighting.
I've been working with clients fully online since 2020, and the depth of the work we do together is just as profound.
All you need is a private space and a decent internet connection. -
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
It’s time for you to live your life on your terms.
If you've made it this far, you might have a bit of a pit in your stomach because feeling even a sliver of hope about your anxiety getting better feels scary.
And while that might sound strange to other people, being afraid of hope makes complete sense to me. The good news? You can bring the fear with you to a free consultation call and I’ll give you all the information you need to feel more settled before starting therapy.
