Finding value, worth, joy, and passion in life is often difficult due to personal hang-ups, breakdowns in communication, and feeling as though emotions and feelings are stunted or underdeveloped. Anchored Within Counseling was founded on the belief that all humans need, deserve, and require the biological, cultural, religious, social necessities of safety, security, comfort, and acceptance to live fully. Vulnerability and transparency are often difficult to access and within our therapeutic work we will create space to invite, sit with, and embrace the uncomfortable to grow. Inhale to create space, Exhale to move into that space.

Some of us are facing difficult life transitions or overpowering feelings of loneliness and isolation.
