Anchored Counseling Company Marks 10 Years in Tennessee
Anchored Counseling Company celebrates a decade of providing specialized, trauma-informed mental healthcare in Tennessee. The practice has grown from a single founder to a team of 12 therapists serving clients statewide.

Anchored Counseling Company is marking its 10th anniversary this August, a milestone for its specialized, trauma-informed mental healthcare services in Tennessee. Founded initially as Laura Deneen Counseling in 2016, the Brentwood-based practice has expanded to a multidisciplinary team of 12 therapists and an operations director, operating under the continued leadership of its founder.
The practice offers evidence-based therapy for a range of mental health concerns, including specialized care for eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, and trauma. Services are available for in-person sessions in Brentwood and virtual therapy for clients across Tennessee.
Founder Laura Deneen began her private practice in 2016. After hiring her first associate therapist in 2019, the practice was renamed Anchored Counseling Company in 2020. Increased client inquiries during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted further expansion.
The practice's growth has seen Deneen evolve from clinician to employer, developing leadership skills and systems. Anchored Counseling Company maintains a philosophy centered on building genuine client relationships and delivering trauma-informed care. For clients with eating disorders, the practice collaborates with physicians, psychiatrists, and dietitians for comprehensive support.
