Get to Know Anchors Wellness
Our Founder's StorY
The journey to establishing Anchors Wellness was deeply personal for its founder, Thomas Wait, MSW, LGSW. Having weathered storms and faced adversity throughout life, he discovered the power of anchoring - finding stability and hope even in the darkest of times.
As a parent and therapist, witnessing the struggles of youth and families firsthand ignited a passion to create a haven where healing and growth could flourish. The concept of "Anchors" holds profound significance, symbolizing the stability and grounding needed during life's tumultuous moments.
Motivated by personal experiences and a desire to prevent youth suicide, Thomas embarked on a mission to offer hope and encouragement to those in need. The loss of adolescent clients to suicide left an indelible mark, fueling a commitment to expand resources and safe spaces for vulnerable youth.
At Anchors Wellness, the vision is clear - serve as guardians of hope, guiding individuals and families toward brighter futures. Anchored in empathy and determination, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we touch.
Together, we’ll embrace hope and healing, and set sail toward a brighter tomorrow.
