National Register Health Service Psychologist
Dr. Townsend is a licensed clinical psychologist, educator, consultant, and founder of Anchor Point Psychological Services.
Throughout her career, she has supported individuals, families, professionals, and organizations navigating complex challenges, strengthening resilience, and pursuing meaningful growth. Her work is informed by the belief that people are capable of change when they feel supported, understood, and equipped with practical tools.
Anchor Point Psychological Services was established to provide evidence-based psychological services that help individuals and organizations stay connected to their values, strengths, and goals. Services include therapy, consultation, education, and organizational partnerships designed to support clarity, stability, and growth.
At Anchor Point, we recognize that meaningful change often requires time. While growth may involve developing new skills, perspectives, and ways of responding to life’s challenges, it does not require losing the meaningful parts of who you are.
