35 years in the room with people who were tired of almost getting there.

I've spent 35 years in the room with people at their most vulnerable.

At LifeGate Christian Counseling, I worked as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist — supervising clinicians and walking alongside men, women, and couples through depression, betrayal, broken marriages, and the quiet weight of feeling stuck. I've seen what breaks people. I've also seen what brings them back.

After all of that, I started coaching. Not because therapy isn't valuable. It is. But because I kept noticing something: the people who made the most lasting changes weren't just the ones who understood their past. They were the ones who had someone calling them forward into what was possible.

That's what coaching is. That's what I do.

I started Anchored Coaching because I believe men — and the couples and families connected to them — are underserved by traditional models. Most men don't want to spend years processing. They want clarity. A plan. Someone who will tell them the truth and hold them accountable to their own values. They want to commit to growth, not just talk about it.

My faith is central to who I am, and it's central to how I coach. I am unapologetically grounded in Christian principles — not as a requirement for working with me, but as the foundation I stand on. If your faith matters to you, we bring it in. If it doesn't, I will still meet you exactly where you are. What you won't find here is spiritual window dressing. This is real work, and it goes deep.

Coaching is different from therapy by design. Therapy looks back to understand — an essential service I still deeply respect. Coaching looks forward to build. No diagnoses. No clinical models. No dwelling. Just you, your goals, and a guide who has spent 35 years learning what genuine change actually requires.

If you're a man who feels like something's off but can't name it — I've sat with that. If you're a couple that has drifted and you're wondering if you can find your way back — I've seen what's possible on the other side of that work. If you want to show up differently for your family, your faith, and yourself — that's exactly where I've spent my career.

I'm Larry Porter. Let's get started.

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."

Hebrews 6:19

You already know something needs to change.

Most men don't need another book or podcast. They need someone to help them name what's wrong and commit to doing something about it.

Your Marriage Feels Disconnected

You're showing up. You're trying. But there's a gap between you and your spouse that you can't seem to close no matter what you do. The conversations feel surface-level. The intimacy — emotional or physical — has faded. You don't want to give up. You just need a better set of tools and someone who can help you use them.

You Want Change — But Don't Know Where to Start

The restlessness is real. You know you're not living at full capacity — in your career, your relationships, or your own sense of purpose. You've started things and stalled. You've thought about it longer than you've acted on it. What you need isn't more motivation. You need a clear plan and someone to hold the line with you.

Faith Matters to You — But You Need Real Tools

Your faith is foundational. But a lot of coaching either ignores it entirely or leans on inspiration without substance. You want work that's grounded in biblical truth and still practical enough to produce real results. You want permission to bring your whole self — including your convictions — into the room.
