“Loneliness is multiplied when you keep yourself closed off.” Many of us isolate out of self-protection, our negative self-talk becomes convincing, and the fear of putting ourselves in vulnerable scenarios becomes paralyzing—but that isolation can create a loop that feels harder to escape over time.

You are not what happened to you, and your recovery is still in your hands. Our therapists are here to hold space for you, offer grounding support, and gently guide you toward connection. Healing happens in relationship. We were never meant to navigate life alone.

If you’re ready to step out of the loneliness loop, call us today to schedule your appointment. We’re here when you’re ready.

Meet David Awoyemi, MS, NCC, APC — a lead therapist at Anchored Wellness & Psychotherapy who is deeply committed to normalizing mental-health conversations for men and reducing the stigma that so often stands in the way of healing.

David brings a compassionate, trauma-informed mindset to his work, helping teens, young adults, and men become more expressive, more seen, and more truly heard. He uses proven approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide you from survival into resilience.

Currently pursuing his doctoral studies in Counselor Education and Supervision, David emphasizes ongoing education and training — not just for his clients, but for himself. Because he believes: when therapists keep growing, clients feel safer, stronger, and more empowered.
