Why Choose Anchor Light Couples and Family Therapy?
Welcome to Anchor Light Couples and Family Therapy. Healthy relationships and meaningful connections are the foundation of a fulfilling life, and our caring, compassionate team will help you strengthen your bonds, heal past wounds, and grow into the best version of yourself.
What Makes Anchor Light Couples and Family Therapy Unique?
Founded by Laura Richer, a licensed therapist and Seattle native, Anchor Light has been helping families, couples, and individuals in Seattle for over 10 years. We’re a proud, local company that’s deeply connected to our vibrant and diverse communities.
We’re not a “platform” that connects you with a therapist who may or may not be right for you. Anchor Light’s team lives and works in the Seattle area. We understand local stressors and challenges (like the rain) because we face them, too. But we also know how to find the beauty and joy of living in the PNW, like living an active lifestyle.
Our practice is owned and managed by us and no one else. Our independence allows our therapists to create a tailored, personalized care plan that resonates with you and enables Anchor Light to pay a living wage to all employees. We use a collaborative approach to integrative care and take a holistic approach to your mental health. There are no expensive memberships. Pay for only the care you receive.
