As children, many of us learned which emotions were “acceptable” and which ones led to disconnection or rejection.

So we learned to shut them down in order to stay attached to the people we loved.
Healing isn’t about getting rid of those emotions. It’s about creating safety to feel them, understand them, and move through them in ways we never could before.

This is the work of emotional regulation. When we regulate our emotions we do not control them, we connect with them. This allows us to connect with others in deep and meaningful ways. We cannot securely attaching to others if we do not securely attach to ourself. And we cannot securely attach to ourself if we do now allow ourself to feel all our feelings. We heal when we come home to ourself.

Kids express their world through toys, games and imagination. That’s why play therapy is so powerful.

Through guided play, children learn to:

✅ Share what they’re feeling without having to ‘talk’ it
✅ Build coping skills, self-confidence and emotional resilience
✅ Improve behavior, social skills and communication
✅ Process trauma, anxiety, grief or big life changes in a safe space

At Anchored in Healing, our play therapy sessions are designed to meet your child where they are - with compassion, understanding and a fun therapeutic space.

Whether you’re moving cities, starting a new job, ending a relationship, welcoming a new identity, change is inevitable.

But adjustment is optional, and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

At Anchored in Healing, we understand:

✅ Life transitions often stir up fear, uncertainty, grief for what was - and hope for what could be.
✅ You’re not only adapting to new external circumstances - you’re also adjusting internally: your sense of self, your routines, your relationships.
✅ With the right support, you can navigate change without losing yourself.

On this page you’ll find guidance to:-

* Recognise signs you’re stuck in transition
* Create meaning and momentum in new beginnings
* Develop resilience and clarity amid uncertainty

Change is happening - you don’t have to face it alone.

“Coping keeps us alive. Healing sets us free.”

There’s a difference between getting by and truly living.

Sometimes survival is the first step, but don’t forget — freedom begins when you start to heal. 💫

Emotional maturity isn’t about never causing harm, it’s about what you do when someone tells you that you did. And healthy people will share their feelings with those that hurt them. When you do this pay attention to the response.

Do they get defensive?
Do they minimize your experience?
Do they blame you for your feelings?
Or do they pause, listen, and take accountability?

The response you get when you tell someone they’ve hurt you reveals a lot about their capacity for emotional safety, empathy, and growth.

And the same also goes for you, when people share with you that you have hurt them.

Our Purpose

Anchored in Healing is located in Nashville, TN and provides services for a wide array of mental health issues. We specialize in trauma, addictions, and intimacy disorders. We have a passion for supporting others in resolving pain and reclaiming fullness in life. While pain is an inevitable part of the human experience, suffering is optional. Not many people are unaffected by some form of mental illness whether it is yourself, or a loved one. The purpose of this page is to bring awareness, provide support, and help challenge the stigma against asking for help. Not all wounds are seen, and at times we buy into the false beliefs that what we cannot see does not matter. Nothing could be more untrue. My mission is to walk beside others and help them step into their authentic self and experience true joy that comes when we heal our wounds, grieve our losses, and step into a life of acceptance, love, and belonging. When we discover our truth, and become anchored in our truth, we can finally truly become free.
