About Us

Ahoy, welcome to Anchor Counseling and Consulting! I’m Nicole Jackson, the Founder and Lead Therapist/Consultant for Anchor. Let’s voyage together in a pursuit of self-discovery, emotional stability, family unity, marital bliss, parental control, emotionally safe schools and million dollar businesses. Wew! Sounds good. Right? See, with any voyage there’s an expectation for delays, complications, irritations and do overs. Allow me to be your Anchor. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (Therapist) with nearly 18 years of experience in service to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I’ve diligently worked as a Military and Family Life Consultant and in the therapeutic foster care, outpatient and in-home therapy, therapeutic day treatment (schools) and residential setting. I’m an expert in building trusting relationships and is personally and professionally driven by the life success of others. With my own family history of mental illness, my faith and innate passion for helping others drives my quest to mobilize counseling. Welcome Anchor into your home, school and community and let’s set sail. I’ll bring the life jackets. We’re going to need them.
