Therapists in Alaska

HELLO! Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, "when did things get so tough?" I’m here to help. I have more than 15 years of experience working with kids, teens, adults, and families who are facing challenges to promote healing from past traumas, difficult relationships, and overwhelming feelings.

Are you looking for a safe place to explore your gender identity? Are you a parent or partner adjusting to the identity of your loved one? We offer a gender affirming, safe and confidential place for folx to explore and discover their journey and authenticity. I hope to create a safe space for you to work with some of the issues or situations that have entered into your life, or make sense of things that have happened in the past. Working from a gender affirming, strength based approach, I believe that we all can reach our goals and aspirations with support and be empowered to be our authentic selves.

It hovers over you like a dark cloud. The pressure of trying to meet everyone's expectations (including your own) is too much to handle most days. And when you can't fulfill these expectations, the guilt & shame of not being good enough creep in. No matter what you accomplish you still feel inadequate. There's always a nagging feeling that something's wrong with you. It's exhausting, and you're tired of feeling this way each day. You wish you could have support, but don't want to burden others with your problems. Who would want to listen? In spite of being there for others, it seems that when you need help, it's nowhere to be found.

Greetings and thanks for checking out my services and what I have to offer. I have been providing mental health services to children and families in Alaska since 2010. Most of my experience has been with children, teens and young adults, but I have provided services to adults as well. My passion is working with individuals, of any age, who have experienced trauma. I am certified in a number of evidence-based practices for treating trauma. I am also experienced at treating mood disorders in all ages, as well as disruptive behavior disorders in children.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering. -Ben Orki, Nigerian Poet and Novelist

You want to be free from negative core beliefs You want to experience high amounts of self-worth and value. You want to feel confident setting boundaries in your life. You want to communicate effectively with loved ones. You want to live with grace for yourself and others. I want to partner with you to make these desires a reality in your life.

I believe in empowering my clients to develop the skills and resilience needed to navigate life's challenges. I utilize a collaborative and strengths-based approach, tailoring treatment plans to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. Drawing from CBT, person-centered, and mindfulness principles, I help clients cultivate self-awareness, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies.

Although I began my clinical work providing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and other 3rd-generation, skill-based modalities, what I really love is to work with people who want to dive deep and process issues that lie beneath the surface. If you have had previous experiences with therapy but have found only temporary relief, and would like to go to the next level of processing, I would like to help you open into compassion and liberate yourself from suffering.

I specialize in providing care to veterans, families, couples, and individuals facing overwhelming life struggles in need of guidance. My clients are typically committed to learning, processing, and mastering skill sets that will generate personal growth, better relationships, and, most importantly, improved quality of life. I have helped people navigate complicated marital problems, and parent-child relationships. I provide therapeutic support to single parents, grandparents, and multigenerational caregivers. I also work with people in recovery from addiction, religion-based abuse, toxic workplaces, and manipulation.

Please call for a free consultation. As Marriage and Family Therapist for over 30 years I have successfully helped many couples, individuals, adolescents, young adults and corporate teams see where they want to grow and help them through their issues to a happier, more productive and more peaceful life. I hope to help you to not need me and to be truly resilient, self-reliant and the master of your own destiny. You will gain the skills and confidence to move proactively and peacefully through your life. I will help you to take positive steps to help you lead a happier life. I am a licensed Arbinger 'facilitator.'

Going to a counselor can be pretty frightening; my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I believe that we all need help at times to work through difficult issues in our lives. I count it a privilege to help clients with the stresses of life. Beginning therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible-no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and more.

Are you looking to make a change and feel overwhelmed with where to start? Struggling with unhealthy patterns, mood symptoms, or life transition? If your daily routine and relationships are being affected by the challenges of these issues, let me help you navigate your journey. Together we can identify new coping skills, (ones YOU want to try!), so that you can feel empowered and confident as you embrace your healthy lifestyle changes!

Hello! I work with teens, young adults, and adults from various backgrounds on increasing self-worth, self-compassion, processing trauma and intergenerational trauma, and reducing harms caused by co-occuring substance use. I am currently available for individual, family, and group sessions via telehealth and through outdoor adventure therapy.

I’m Jennie, a Licensed Professional Counselor who’s passionate about helping others identify the source(s) of their distress, and implement strategies that invite continuous growth and genuine contentment. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are open to exploring how the past impacts their present-day functioning, and who are willing to do the work to break out of patterns that seem to keep them stuck.

Jeff works with clients who are beginning with counseling for their emotional, relational, life transition, mental health, medical, end-of-life, grief/loss, and/or addiction issues, as well as those who have been to counseling and are looking for new, more effective approaches and treatments for their concerns. Not only does Jeff have training for the issues above, he also continued to study, receiving certifications in the specialization of treating PTSD, C-PTSD, Developmental Trauma, 'Little t' trauma, abuse, and deprivation.

You look put together, but you're acutely aware that revealing your true self would drive people away. The fear of taking off your mask and exposing your genuine thoughts and feelings holds you captive. You're exhausted. You work so hard to be happy and normal while feeling like a failure inside. Things aren't supposed to be this hard, but somehow everything feels overwhelming. You've spent so long convincing everyone that you're fine without knowing what "fine" means anymore. You want to be happy. But if "choosing to be happy" is so simple, then why does it continue to evade you?

Do you feel stuck or trapped in your feelings and emotions? Do you feel defined by your past, negative beliefs, challenging emotions, or life difficulties? Are you ready to start rewiring your brain so that you can break free from them? Let’s find the root cause of the issues. Together, we can process and heal so you can enjoy your life fully. We will start by discussing your goals, and together, we will embark upon this healing journey. I am licensed in Alaska, New Mexico, and Utah. Tiffany also provides supervision for licensure.

My focus is in providing clients an opportunity to create better connection with themselves and those around them. I work with both couples and individuals, taking part in their journey by providing a new perspective, asking the hard questions, and helping people understand the habitual patterns they get stuck in. My role is collaborative as we discuss sensitive topics that are hard to explore outside of therapy such as sex, gender, communication, addiction, intimacy and trauma. I welcome the opportunity to provide you with a safe and engaging environment to explore new ways of coping.
