At Anchor Family Therapy, we believe that anyone can benefit from therapy! Whether you are looking to make small or large changes in your life, therapy can help provide you with the tools and support needed to achieve your goals and make long-lasting changes. We can provide services to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, struggles with parenting, and much more. If you are still unsure if therapy is right for your unique situation, please take advantage of our free 15-minute consultation!

Therapy results are never guaranteed. However, we typically find that the more you put into therapy the more you get out of therapy. The tools that we offer have worked for many others and are evidenced based. Of course, we will be there to guide and support you every step of the way!

Anchor Family Therapy tailors services to fit the needs of each individual, couple or, family in treatment. What you address in therapy will depend on your personal goals and hopes for treatment. Each session may look different, but you can expect to be challenged, supported, and validated in a safe and confidential environment. Your therapist may also choose to assign homework to help you work on your goals in between sessions. Sessions typically last 45-50 minutes on average, but may last longer depending on your specific needs.

Additionally, it is important for you to know that while we consider ourselves to be competent clinicians, we do not consider ourselves to be experts on your life. Therefore, we will work with you collaboratively in order to set treatment goals and determine the best course of treatment.

While we are happy to discuss the difference between medications and collaborate with a psychiatrist or prescribing physician, we are incapable of prescribing medication. 

Therapy can last anywhere from weeks, to months, or even years if necessary, because treatment is designed to address the unique needs of each client at Anchor Family Therapy. However, clients are typically in treatment from 3-6 months on average.

This decision is typically agreed upon together by the client(s) and therapist. In order to achieve lasting changes, we recommend that clients attend therapy weekly or ever other week. However, this decision is ultimately up to the client and the therapist for what works best physically and financially.

There is no limit to who, or how many people, we will see in one therapy session. We are happy to meet with any combination of friends, family, couples, parents and children, siblings, or individuals who wish to come for therapy. Our training as a Marriage and Family Therapists has taught us, that no one person exists in isolation, and problems are often initiated and resolved within a system. With that said, we will never force or coerce an individual into bringing a buddy or family member to therapy and we are more than comfortable working with individuals one on one for the duration of treatment.

Although we use evidenced-based assessments in our therapy sessions and will provide a diagnosis for the purpose of insurance, we are not qualified to conduct psychological testing for school, work, or disability.

As therapists working in private practice, we do not provide 24-hour crisis intervention or care. Any immediate concerns should be addressed by calling 911. However, in the event of suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, and/or psychosis that presents during a therapy session, we will contact the necessary authorities and arrange for safety. Similarly, if you are especially distressed and wish to change your scheduled appointment time or wish to schedule more than one appointment per week, we are happy to accommodate these requests, within reason, during normal business hours. 

No. In order to preserve therapeutic relationships, we do not provide custody evaluations. We are, however, happy and capable of providing the name of a therapist who will.
