Our story
We set achievable goals and celebrate each step of growth.
Founded by Shannon Williams, a therapist who knows firsthand what burnout feels like, and her cofounder (and husband) Ian Powell, we're a fully virtual group practice dedicated to making therapy healthier for everyone involved.
Shannon started her career in community mental health, where toxic workplaces and overly rigid medical models impacted therapists' well-being and client care.
That's why she built Rising Anchor—a safe, supportive space where therapists can thrive and clients receive the best care possible with therapists who see beyond the label and the diagnosis. To inspire authentic change with our clients, we bring our authentic selves into session.
Got questions or ready to book a session? Reach out—we're excited to connect with you!

Thriving over Surviving.
Life feels overwhelming sometimes — whether it's ADHD, being neuro-spicy, or just navigating the chaos of a post-pandemic world in late-stage capitalism. If you're tired of pretending "it's fine" and those so-called bootstraps aren't quite pulling you up anymore, therapy can help. This is your space to understand yourself better, develop skills to combat burnout, and create strategic plans for a life that actually works for you. So instead of spiraling into a Sunday scaries social media scroll, you can spend your weekends feeling grounded, fulfilled, and maybe even having some fun.
