Our Approach

A ship without an anchor is at risk of entering dangerous waters or drifting aimlessly without course. Because of this, the anchor has become a symbol of hope, initially tied to safety and stability. For some it is a message of hope towards the future; a symbol of a brilliant, happy life.

 

If you think about it, we’re not much different from a ship because without stability and security in our lives, we can fall on hard times, become involved in tricky situations, and even lose our way. It’s easy to feel untethered when life is stressful and there is a lot going on.  We believe that what makes someone feel anchored during these times is different for everyone. It might be relying on their spiritual beliefs, setting boundaries, changing thought patterns, improving health, evaluating decision-making, building positive connections, and/or healing from past traumas to name a few.  For some, living an anchored life means feeling rooted and relying on their morals, values, and beliefs when things get tough.  

 

Here at Anchored Life Integrative Therapy, when we think about being anchored in life, we imagine what it would take to have security and to be unwavering and kept from being swept away by life’s currents or winds. We think about the resources in our lives and within us that hold us, keep us firm and steady, and ground us despite the challenges of life. 

 

That’s why we are integrative. An Integrative therapy approach is an individualized, holistic approach to therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic schools of thought depending on a person’s unique needs. We utilize techniques aimed at emotional, mental, physical, and/or spiritual growth depending on what our clients need. 

 

When the waves of life are crashing around, what anchors you in the midst of it all? Let us help you discover what that is.
