We all need a steady place to land before we can truly grow. Here, therapy is a calm harbor where your story is held with care and honesty, while we gently work toward the changes you're ready to make.
Anchor & Bloom Therapy was created around a simple idea: we all need a steady place to land before we can truly grow. Here, therapy is a calm harbor where your story is held with care and honesty, while we gently work toward the changes you're ready to make.
I'm Wendy Morkel, a licensed therapist based in Utah County. With a MS in Educational Psychology, Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Utah and extensive experience in trauma, relationships, and behavioral change, I help individuals navigate life's most difficult challenges with honesty and compassion.
My integrative approach draws on ACT, Narrative Therapy, and Interpersonal Process models always grounded in evidence-based practice. I bring warmth and accountability in equal measure, and I believe real growth happens when people feel both safe and gently challenged.
