Our Team.
Molly Harmon, Office Manager, Billing Coordinator
My name is Molly, and I’m the Office Manager and Billing Coordinator here at The Anchor Place. I help keep our office running smoothly by managing daily operations, coordinating schedules, and overseeing billing with accuracy and care. With a background in administrative support and financial processes, I take pride in staying organized, detail-oriented, and love being the go-to person for both the behind-the-scenes details and the day-to-day needs of our team and clients.
Outside of work, I’m a proud mom of three and stay happily busy with family life. I enjoy painting, spending time outdoors, and making memories with the people I love—whether it’s cozy movie nights at home or sunny afternoons at the lake with extended family and friends.
Kristina Pugh, LCSW
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Kristina Pugh, though I’m affectionately known as Kristi by my friends and family. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a deep passion for supporting children/adolescents, adults and families as they navigate life's challenges. I am honored to be part of the team at The Anchor Place.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals ranging from five years old to late adulthood. I firmly believe in the importance of viewing individual(s) as part of a system, meaning I work with more than just the “identified individual” to make lasting change.
My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and child/adolescent family dynamics. I employ a blend of therapeutic approaches, including person-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices. Additionally, I am basic trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a short-term treatment that has shown effectiveness for a variety of mental health concerns, including addiction, PTSD, and more, often delivering results in just 1-5 sessions.
I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and collaborative environment where clients feel safe to explore their emotions and develop effective coping strategies. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to accommodate various needs. I look forward to the opportunity to connect and support you or your loved ones.
Bonnie Benson MA, LPC
Hello! My name is Bonnie Benson and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I am thrilled to be a part of the team at The Anchor Place. During my counseling career I have worked primarily with children ages 5-12 and their parents. As a former elementary school counselor, I understand the challenges children face on a daily basis. I also have worked as a mental health counselor at a variety of clinics and community mental health centers.
I believe that we all are truly doing the best we can in any given moment. I also believe that all behavior has meaning and is shaped by social interactions. People strive for a sense of belonging and personal growth. Change is possible with the proper support, encouragement and care.
My areas of specialization include anxiety, emotional regulation, depression, family changes (moving, divorce), and school challenges. I use a blend of therapeutic approaches including person-centered therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, Adlerian therapy and trauma-informed care. The mediums I use frequently with children are play therapy and sand tray therapy.
I strive to create a safe, nurturing, encouraging, compassionate, caring environment where clients explore their emotions, gain self-awareness and resilience. I offer in person sessions. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions to see if I can provide support for your child and family.
