Have you been feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Are you tired of not feeling your best? Are your negative and obsessive thoughts undermining your happiness? You want a therapist who is compassionate, empathic, skilled, and takes the time to understand you, right? Well, you found her! I'm Nicole Allen, LMHC, owner and therapist at Anchor Counseling Services, LLC. I’d love to join you on your journey to stability. I am caring and dedicated with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of life. I want nothing more than to see my clients live their best life!
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, developing authenticity and self-compassion, difficult life transitions, stress, parenting, and relationship issues. I’ll help you identify negative thought patterns and behaviors, equipping you with real tools to change your mindset and improve wellbeing.
If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, feeling stuck, or just wanting to process life’s challenges, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. Together, we can explore your experiences and begin the journey toward joy, healing, and growth. I'm looking forward to being a part of your journey!

I help clients who are experiencing anxiety, sadness, or who are going through major life transitions. Clients report anxious, spiraling thoughts, social anxiety, and general sadness that their life isn't how they want it to be. You and I will work together to develop coping skills to reduce anxiety and sadness so you get your life back on track.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy mixed with Mindfulness when appropriate to help clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The idea of CBT is that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and that changing one can lead to changes in the others. Clients will learn ways of coping so they can live the life they want.
