Our Approach
Anthetic Therapy —
a path to inner freedom.
Anthetic Therapy (AT) was developed by Dr. James Elliott and Dr. Kathryn Elliott over more than 30 years of clinical practice. It is a psychodynamic, skills-based approach that gets to the root of clients' issues — often in just a handful of sessions.
AT helps people move beyond shame, self-criticism, anxiety, and disconnection toward greater freedom, confidence, and meaningful connection in their relationships and lives.
01
The Inner Critic
AT identifies the Inner Critic — the internal voice of shame and self-judgment — as a root driver of anxiety, depression, and relational pain.
02
Skills-Based Healing
Rather than years of talk therapy, AT equips clients with practical, depth-level skills they can use in daily life to experience lasting change.
03
Relational Freedom
The goal is not just symptom relief but genuine freedom — in relationships, in self-perception, and in the fullness of life.
"Anthetic Therapy gets to the root of the issue — not just the symptoms — and equips people with skills they can use for the rest of their lives."

The Heart of the Practice
Why The Well?
A well is a place people return to when they are thirsty.
Throughout history, wells have been places of provision, gathering, rest, and renewal. People came carrying burdens, questions, weariness, and need. At the well, they found what was necessary to continue the journey.
We chose the name The Well because we believe counseling can serve a similar purpose. Life can leave us depleted, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck. Therapy offers a space to pause, reconnect, and draw from deeper sources of truth, healing, and strength.
Our hope is that The Well is a place where people feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and empowered to move toward wholeness.
