Bellevue Depression Therapy

I have had a great experience with Anchor Light. I am always able to easily contact scheduling where I can talk to a person. Anchor Light is out of network with my insurance provider, however they take care of my paperwork and file my claims for me so I can be reimbursed. Most importantly my therapist Michelle is well prepared for our sessions and I feel like I have effectively addressed my challenges in therapy
with her support.

Anchor Light Therapy is amazing! They provide a wonderful and welcoming environment that really allows you to relax and focus on you. I've been coming to Laura for a few months now and am extremely pleased with the progress that I've made on my journey to healing some deep wounds.

I found their website and contacted Laura and was impressed with their seamless intake process and the ability to set up and get automated appointment reminders. They have been extremely flexible and have made it easy to adjust my appointments (which I had to do regularly because of the volatility of my job). They even offered remote sessions which I took advantage of when I traveled away from the Seattle area to work from a new location during COVID lock-downs. Communications with Anchor Light Therapy have always been pleasant, quick, and easy (e-mail, text, or phone). They have a beautiful space with comfortable furniture and a plethora of beverages options that makes it feel more like visiting a friend.

Laura has provided caring, empathetic, and judgement-free insights into my problems (like the personal stumbling blocks that I put in my own way and negative self-talk) and helps me come to possible solutions (re-framing my perspective, accepting what cannot be changed, and recognizing why some parts of my life aren't affected but others are). After a session with Laura I look back and realize that my feelings are valid (no one should tell you what to feel - they are your feelings) and that helps me move past triggers with a little more grace each time I encounter them.

BONUS: Anchor Light Therapy filed all the necessary paperwork to help me get back some money from the insurance company. I didn't have to do anything other than provide her with my insurance card. I started receiving checks in the mail because of their consistent upkeep with the paperwork filings for each session. I expected that I'd have to pay everything out of pocket and was prepared for that. Anchor Light Therapy truly is a blessing.

I would highly recommend visiting Anchor Light Therapy and Laura. Thank you!

As someone who has been a client of multiple therapists over the years, I can highly recommend Michelle Mooney as a therapist who has the compassion, warmth, and clinical expertise to meet any client where they are at on their journey to well-being. I have always felt safe and listened to when bringing my problems to Michelle. I've found her to be especially helpful when dealing with challenges couples face in a new marriage. Michelle has been a true ally on my mental health journey!

Laura is an excellent couple's therapist. She knows how to help couples improve communication and get their relationship on a positive track. No matter how far gone your relationship may feel, seeing Laura as a counselor will be a great investment. Highly recommend.

Michelle Mooney, a clinician at Anchor Light, has a presence and a way of assuring everyone that things will be okay, even in the darkest of times. Her capacity to comfort and her desire to enrich the lives of her clients is truly heartwarming. Michelle puts her best foot forward in every moment of every session, and that is a rare trait to find. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. I would recommend Michelle to my family members and closest friends.

I am not a client. I am a provider and have worked with Michelle previously. I believe Michelle provides a validating and empathetic space for her clients. She connects and builds rapport quickly. I believe she makes her clients feel safe and valued. She is focused on helping people change at their pace.

Laura Richer’s counseling, life coaching, and hypnotherapy practices changed my life. With her therapy, I finally lost (and kept off!) the extra weight that I’d been unable to lose —and helped me recognize the loving spirit that I was born with. Laura Richer’s therapy changed the quality and future direction of my life. Absolutely life changing. Absolutely worth every dollar paid for her services.
