Anchor Life

At Anchor Life Clinic, we learn how to focus in ways that open our body up to experiencing freedom, creativity, and spaciousness. During the process of anchoring, we accomplish 4 intentions: 1) Slowing down repetitive thoughts, 2) Weakening the power of repetition, 3) Bringing attention to the present, and 4) Changing our focus to creative functioning. Anchoring creates a purpose that cultivates awareness of change. Melanie is a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, Accredited Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), as well as an LGBTQIA+ expert.
