Welcome from the Founder
Hi—I’m Marcel Lanahan, founder and lead clinician at Insight Anchors.
I created this platform to help Catholics deepen their “learning of the heart” by connecting you with skilled Catholic therapists who share your faith and convictions.

Shared Beliefs, Skilled Guidance

Get support from someone who truly understands your worldview.
If you’re looking to match with a Catholic counselor who loves the Faith as much as you do, you’ve come to the right place.

Proven Track Record
For years, we’ve helped fellow Catholics find relief from the emotional and relational struggles that steal everyday peace and freedom.

We’ve learned from the very best in Catholic psychotherapy and watched countless clients turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones—
it’s both our joy and our privilege.

Focused, Personal, and Practical
We deeply respect and value other Catholic and Christian therapy resources, from popular podcasts to extensive content collections.

At Insight Anchors, our focus is on practical guidance tailored to you.

We offer personalized, one-on-one care supported by thoughtfully curated summaries, accessible guides, and introductions to key voices in Catholic psychology, inner healing, and spiritual formation.

Our unique Insight Anchors—visually intuitive tools that clarify how your intellect, will, emotions, and spiritual needs interact—
help you clearly see and navigate your path toward growth
between sessions.

Why We’re Different
From the first session, we go straight to the heart of your needs—
no filler, just clarity.

Whether you experience immediate progress or need more time, you’ll receive steady, compassionate guidance.

We honor your freedom and personal journey, offering practical tools rooted deeply in faith and proven therapeutic methods
(EMDR, IFS, DBT, Immanuel Approach, and more).

Lasting Change, Not Just Coping
Together, we’ll move beyond surface-level coping to facilitate true, lasting transformation. Drawing on God’s grace, scientific techniques, and Catholic spirituality, our counselors help you uncover the specific insights you need for healing and flourishing.

Your Path, Your Pace
Your story matters, and your journey is uniquely yours.

Through personalized therapy, Insight Anchors, and our growing library of practical resources, we’re here to help you confidently take the next step
toward freedom, growth, and wholeness.

Let’s walk this path together. 👥

Insight Anchors are visuals or other learning tools that are:

Number 01

Simple

Simple means easily understood, but according to Aquinas and modern science, it also refers to the essential reality underneath complex parts or distinctions. Light is neither wave nor particle, but something more simple.

number 02

Profound

We are bombarded with a constant noise of shallow, superficial information. What we need are insights that help us build wisdom and do justice to the vast depth of the mind and deeper longings of the heart.

number 03

Helpful

There are interesting thoughts, and then there are key ideas and strategies that move the needle. We seek to provide insights that are truly helpful for healing and growth.
