Heather Haynes, LCSW

At Anchored Life Services, my mission is to empower individuals to build the life they envision. I am committed to fostering growth, resilience, and well-being. ​​​​​

​

I am a doctoral candidate with extensive experience across mental health systems, addiction services, hospice, and home health. My work centers on the intersection of metabolic health, stress physiology, and emotional regulation—foundational drivers of performance and well-being that are often overlooked in conventional wellness models.

​

I work primarily with high-functioning adults and professionals who want to improve mental clarity, emotional steadiness, and resilience under pressure. Through nutrition education, lifestyle optimization, nervous system support, and structured accountability, I help participants build sustainable habits that support focus, energy, and long-term stability.

​

In addition to individual coaching, I collaborate with organizations to provide training and consultation focused on workforce well-being, leadership resilience, trauma-aware cultures, and addiction-informed systems. My approach is informed by evidence-based frameworks and systems thinking, with a practical emphasis on how biology, behavior, and environment interact to influence performance and overall health.

​

​​Additionally, Anchored Life Services is approved by the Idaho courts to conduct DUI Evaluations and provides a range of educational and skill-building programs designed to support informed decision-making and long-term behavior change. These offerings include Alcohol and Cannabis Education, Relapse Awareness and Prevention, Anger Management, and Cognitive Skills Development.

​

Our approach emphasizes the biological, behavioral, and environmental factors that influence substance use and self-regulation, with increasing focus on metabolic health, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle patterns that impact judgment, impulse control, and resilience. Services are available to court-mandated participants as well as individuals who are proactively seeking education, accountability, and sustainable personal growth.

​

Anchored Life Services provides comprehensive assessments for Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters to document the need for an animal companion to alleviate symptoms of a mental or emotional disability.
