Do you need someone to listen? Meet Dr. Rebekah Burket, a lifelong resident of Alaska, who loves to support mental health resilience for all people who are in Alaska. Rebekah has been providing mental health care and substance use treatment in Fairbanks since 2012. Along the way, she earned her doctorate degree in Clinical and Community Psychology and graduated from the University of Alaska in 2017.

One day we may download a User's Manual for being human. Until then, therapy can help us navigate the rocky shoals and shed light onto the dark spots while setting ghosts to rest. We are far more capable than we think we are or given credit for. Napoleon Hill is quoted as saying, "What you can conceive and BELIEVE, you can achieve." That works both ways. Therapy can often re-open the doors to choice, frequently help us find our feet, and often move us to look to a bright future and to hear the music of everyday living. It is really hard to run through the woods backwards.

In my psychotherapy practice with adolescents, men, women and families the focus is typically on issues such as behavioral concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, ADHD and anger. I believe that everyone is entitled to be treated with respect and honesty and that therapy should start where the client is at. Additionally, each client has their own ways of gaining insight and implementing new patterns into their lives and will have their own pace at which they discover the strengths within themselves. I like to work with the client to discover what is most effective for them and go from there.

You deserve a life unhindered from the memories of your past, relieved of depression and grief, safe from intrusive anxiety or panic. One of the best avenues to healing is to begin to unravel and understand your own story. Therapy is dedicated time that you carve out for yourself to heal from emotional and psychological wounds, past or present. I can help and support you in a safe and judgment-free environment, and my approach is to let you help set the pace and provide feedback every step of the way. Life is short; every moment spent suffering is too long because it robs you of the joy and fulfillment in your present and future.

I like to work with families, including children of all ages. I also work with individual adults and occasional couples. I also like to work with military families. I am also trained in EMDR therapy and have even tried some of this therapy style with adolescents. I am also trained in perinatal mood disorders.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with intense emotions and/or behaviors that feel out of control. My approach is flexible and collaborative, working with the person or persons to tailor treatment to help them reach their desired therapy goals.

I provide a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that combines standard "talk therapy" with Jungian-based tools and art/play therapy approaches that allow for greater exploration of the unconscious. With 25 years counseling experience using a variety of therapy techniques I have found this combination works far better than other approaches for getting good results. I work with clients ages 5 and up, as well as with couples and families. Please see my website www.utherapy,net for full details on me and my practice.

I strive to provide a safe, compassionate space where you are able to share what you're experiencing and be heard. Working together we will explore and identify ways in which you will be able to navigate what you are experiencing in a way that is most helpful for you.

I am dedicated to helping Alaskans find healing, live healthier and more fulfilling lives, and feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I would love to support you on your journey and help you work through whatever it is that brings you here. Counseling can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and underlying issues, uncover strengths, and learn skills that will help you reach your goals.

Many of us encounter struggles in our lives and react in ways that are not necessarily effective or in our best interest. In those stressful situations, it is not uncommon to have thoughts, harbor feelings or act in ways that damage relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. When people need to repair those damages or make personal changes, counseling can help. I provide counseling for individuals and families, youth, adults and couples with Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The cognitive component of therapy addresses the way thoughts can be automatic and self-defeating.

As an adult survivor of child abuse who overcame a hard childhood to create success, you are good at problem solving and powering through, but you experience a disconnection from your feelings, your body, and your relationships. You are good at pulling it together, putting your feelings aside and focusing to get things done. When you aren’t numb inside, you feel anxious until you find a way to numb out again. Sometimes the things you do to numb out: over-drinking, overeating, overworking, make you feel worse. You love your partner, but you often feel far away from them emotionally. It’s hard to receive touch from someone you love.

I have 46 years experience and have worked with children, teens, adults and families in mental health and substance abuse outpatient, intensive outpatient, day hospital, residential and inpatient settings, in urban and rural and areas including native villages. I have extensive trauma treatment experience including VA/DoD with combat veterans. I'd like to help you clear away the wreckage of the past and step forward as your authentic self.

Email or call for questions about availability. Messages are checked Monday through Thursday. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I take a strengths-based approach in helping clients reach personal goals for well-being. Self-care, coping skills, positive communication, social supports, and a belief in the dignity and worth of each person are central to my work.

I enjoy helping adults navigate life transitions and explore themselves to encourage deeper personal understanding and improve well-being. I aim to create a nurturing space in which clients feel safe to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. My approach is eclectic and collaborative. It often combines looking to past experiences to understand how they impact the present as well as working mindfully to understand dynamics that occur in the here-and-now. This approach allows for individualized treatment accounting for each person's unique needs and reasons for seeking counseling.

I am a psychotherapist currently in private practice and have lived and worked in Fairbanks since 1999. I earned my MSW in 1982 and have worked in variety of residential and outpatient settings. I bring more than 30 years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, couples and families presenting with a wide range of concerns.

There is no ‘perfect person’ for therapy. Anyone dealing with any type of behavioral or emotional issues, from depression to couple’s counseling, and everything in between, is welcome. Here, you will find a comfortable, supportive, and encouraging environment, where the focus will be on you alone – your individual needs to achieve growth are the top priority. My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you on an individual basis, helping you to discover the true potential of your life.
