I’ve had the unique opportunity to experience Anchor Counseling Center from two perspectives - first as a contractor clinician a few years ago, and more recently as someone who refers friends and family there for care. I can say without hesitation that Anchor is a standout in the field, and that is largely due to its incredible owner, Whitney Thompson.

Whitney is not your average practice owner. She is deeply involved in every aspect of her organization and brings a level of brilliance and vision that is truly inspiring. What sets her apart even more is her down-to-earth nature—she is approachable, compassionate, and genuinely cares about both her clients and her team.
​
I’m grateful our paths crossed. Whitney continues to be a leader in this industry and a mentor I deeply respect. I highly recommend Whitney's expertise in consulting and Anchor Counseling to anyone seeking thoughtful, professional, and accessible behavioral health support.
