Recommended for mindfulness therapy for anxiety
I’m Robert (Bob), the owner and founder of Intrepid Insights Therapy. My approach is grounded in both Western psychology and contemplative practices I studied at Naropa University. I specialize in helping adults work through anxiety and related concerns like imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges.
Therapy with me is a non-judgmental space where you can explore mindfulness—perhaps for the first time—and begin to understand yourself better without worrying about feeling alienated by clinical jargon. If you’re ready to begin, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation call.

How to choose the right mindfulness therapist for you
Finding the right therapist is about more than just their credentials—it's about finding someone whose approach resonates with you. When searching for a mindfulness therapist, consider these factors:
Training background: Consider looking for therapists trained in both mindfulness practices and other evidence-based modalities like CBT or EMDR.
Specialization areas: Make sure they have experience with your specific concerns (anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.).
Communication style: Consider whether you prefer a more formal or conversational therapeutic relationship.
Practical considerations: Location, availability for in-person or virtual sessions, and scheduling flexibility are all important considerations.
Take your time exploring different options, and don't hesitate to schedule consultation calls with a few therapists to find the best fit for your needs.
FAQs
-
Mindfulness is the practice of bringing non-judgmental awareness to your present-moment experience. In therapy, mindfulness helps you observe patterns of thought and emotion without getting caught up in them. This awareness creates space to challenge negative beliefs and choose different responses, which can significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and rumination over time.
-
A mindfulness therapist is a licensed mental health professional who integrates mindfulness practices into clinical treatment for mental health concerns. While a mindfulness coach may teach meditation techniques, a therapist can diagnose and treat conditions like anxiety and depression, process trauma, and address deep-rooted beliefs that impact your emotional well-being through evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
-
In mindfulness-based therapy, you'll learn to notice patterns connecting your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through conversation and skill-building, we'll explore how past experiences influence your current emotional state. You'll develop practical tools—like meditation, awareness exercises, and cognitive techniques—to manage anxiety and depression while working toward your personal goals in a client-centered, supportive environment.
