Dr. Michael Sullivan
Licensed Professional Christian Therapist | Founder of Anchor & Shield Therapy & Coaching Services
Hi, I’m Dr. Michael Sullivan a man who knows the weight of responsibility, the silence of unspoken grief, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up day after day, even when your soul feels tired. As a Licensed Christian Therapist and Chaplain, I founded Anchor & Shield Therapy & Coaching Services to be more than just a place for therapy. It’s a space for men and women especially those who have served, sacrificed, and worked hard their whole lives who are now ready to find rest, healing, and a deeper connection with God. Before stepping into this work, I spent years as a plant worker and industrial fire and rescue, showing up every day for my family, my community, and my responsibilities. That season shaped me. It taught me resilience, discipline, and the emotional toll that builds over time when you keep pushing through pain without ever pausing to process it. Now, I use that life experience along with clinical training and spiritual insight to walk alongside others who are carrying emotional burdens, navigating loss, struggling in silence, or simply seeking clarity about their next chapter. I hold a doctorate degree in Biblical Psychology and Chaplaincy and have served as a spiritual advisor and counselor for individuals and couples navigating life’s hardest transitions. My approach blends biblical truth, therapeutic tools, and deep compassion. Whether you’re battling stress, burnout, grief, or a sense of spiritual disconnection, I offer a safe space to be seen, heard, and supported without judgment. This work is deeply personal to me. I’ve sat in seasons of uncertainty. I’ve asked God the hard questions. And I’ve also experienced the peace that comes when we allow Him into the places we’ve tried to manage on our own for too long. Through individual therapy, pastoral care, and coaching, I walk with you not to fix you, but to remind you that you don’t have to walk alone. Because your healing matters. Because there’s more for your life than surviving. Because God still restores, renews, and rebuilds. If you’re ready to lay some of the weight down and begin again, I’m here. Let’s take the next step together.
