What's in a name?
The choice of the name Branch & Anchor is a symbolic one. The word branch is interpreted as a part that reaches out through healing, growth and a need for belonging.
The word anchor is interpreted as what keeps us connected to ourselves and others; our values. What we hold true in belief, purpose and meaning guides who we are and in relation to our co-existence.
Our values
Empathy – We believe in human-centered therapy where you are seen as a whole person with inherent strengths, skills, and complex experiences that deserve validation.
Collaboration – Your therapeutic journey is personalized and co-created, where we’ll work together to tailor your sessions to your experiences, needs, and values.
Justice – We are dedicated to continuous awareness of how power dynamics, intersectionality, and the socio-political context of healing show up in our sessions together. We recognize the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization, and are completely committed to transparency, authenticity, and learning in building our relationship together.
Our Approach
As a practice we believe in the benefits of self-discovery, growth and the importance of experiencing a fulfilling, aligned and meaningful life. We know that a lot can get in the way of the life we want to live. We start by respecting where you’re at in this moment with empathy and genuine care.
Understanding that at our core we all deserve to heal, grow and experience alignment in our lives and with those we choose to share it with. We hold the belief that you are the expert on yourself and our work together may facilitate awareness and validation of your existing strengths, resilience and in collaboration discovery what helps to guide you in experiencing the life you want to live.
