About Individual Therapy

At Anchor and Oak we offer services for anyone aged 8 years old and older. 

Our clinicians work alongside you to offer trauma-informed, non-judgmental compassionate support in your journey and life transitions to manage mood, worry, and the experience of overwhelm.

Psychotherapy can support an increase in confidence, and self-efficacy, in navigating changes and identity carving.
