Our Team
At Acorn & Anchor Therapy Centre we understand the ways in which all of life's experiences, relationships, social systems, and environments shape the mind and the health of each unique individual. We use a practice model that is guided and supported by our Clinical Lead (AATC Approach). The model is further enhanced by our own individual experiences in life, education, and career.
