Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Alaska

Today’s stressors are in many ways very different than any experienced in generations prior. Transitioning into adulthood is stressful, and Alaskan's face additional challenges that can lead to disruption in school, work, and relationships. This may result in experiencing intense emotions, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, anger, and reckless behaviors. Our work together will help you gain a sense of capability to adapt and overcome current and future challenges.

In my practice, I meticulously craft unique and tailored approaches to every individual I work with. I am acutely aware that true healing often occurs within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. Consequently, I invest heavily in cultivating a strong connection with my clients, establishing a foundation of trust that allows for further exploration and growth. By creating a space where vulnerability is embraced and authenticity is celebrated, I enable my clients to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

As a Therapist, I specialize in ILF Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is a noninvasive brain training method that does not involve "traditional talk therapy." Neurofeedback works by training your brain like a personal trainer at the gym. EEG Biofeedback has been around for over 40 years. It was originally used to help epilepsy and has now advanced to help a multitude of issues from PTST, Autism, ADHD, Migraines, and more. I have trained both in Europe and in the USA. What I love about Neurofeedback is it offers another and different method in helping us with our own issues.

Hello! My name is Patty Quinn and I have a passion for working with young children and families and helping them realize their full potential. I strongly believe that parents know their children best and I appreciate my role as a guide in supporting families and children realize their full capacities. I have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, Depression, Behavioral challenges, and Attachment issues. I've been privileged to see the impact play therapy can have on a child as well as the entire family system.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in persistent pain psychology. At the heart of pain psychology, I believe in listening to the patient’s pain narrative and taking the time to hear their story of how pain began and developed over the course of time, and how it has impacted their every day functioning. This may include your relationships with loved ones, school, work, sleep, your ability to engage in simple every day tasks, or the impact of the negative stigma you have encountered as a result of having pain, any combination of the above, and more.

I'm a seasoned therapist, certified in EMDR, with a strong belief in your innate ability to heal. Does negative self-talk impair your quality of life? Are you regularly triggered by reminders of painful memories? I specialize in trauma and its symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger and complicated grief. Many are currently experiencing collective trauma and grief as a result of our tumultuous world. Those who have existing trauma and anxiety can be particularly affected.

I look forward to helping with issues that have been hurting you and your loved ones. For some people it’s anxiety or depression affecting them in the here and now. For others it’s about something that happened to them years ago and continues to interfere in their life today. It may also be simply a recent change at work, pressures at home, friends, or school. Whatever the reason is, I am here for you. I work with you in a client centered manner, often using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to identify a goal that fits your needs and help you achieve that goal. I generally work with adults and teens, individually, or as a family.

I am passionate about working with women, children, and teens. No one escapes life without experiencing trauma of some kind, and it often begins early. Trauma has the power to pervert our sense of self, our emotions, and our beliefs about the world around us. It can leave us feeling worthless, helpless, and full of shame. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients recognize and then reverse their cognitive distortions. I will always provide a safe, empathetic, and judgement-free environment for individuals seeking help. I will work with you to recognize negative coping mechanisms and replace them with healthy coping skills.

Since 2005, I’ve been working in the field of counseling and school psychology. My degrees include a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, two Masters, one being in Marriage Family Therapy and the other in Educational Counseling with thousands of hours of work with individuals and families. I’m licensed as a professional counselor.

As a mental health therapist, I believe that each client holds the answers to their own care. My role as a provider is to walk with the client and assist them through their journey of self-discovery.

Hello, I'm glad you're here and taking the next step on your journey to caring for yourself. Life can offer so many exciting possibilities, but can also throw us a lot of unexpected twists and challenges. I want to help you navigate these challenges, walk with you through grief or change, and offer hope for the future. In my work I focus on building upon personal strengths, as well as strengthening relationships. I strive to be a safe landing place as you work through the complexities that are life.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specializing in the areas of trauma (sexual abuse, physical abuse, maltreatment, PTSD), anxiety, depression, self-esteem & identity, and couples and family work. I have experience working with children ages 3 and up, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. When working with couples I utilize the research and theories of the Gottman Method developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman to facilitate reconnection and strengthen communication. I find it is important to use empathy, respect, compassion, and authenticity to form a genuine, trusting relationship with all my clients.

People come to counseling when they feel stuck, out of control, or unhappy in some aspect of their lives. Counseling can provide a way to get out of that rut. Through compassionate care in a supportive environment, our counselors use evidenced-based practices like EMDR, CBT and mindfulness-based therapy to help clients move towards the life that they want. For those with eating disorders or body image concerns, we have a specialized team that combines mental health counseling with nutrition counseling to achieve the best possible outcomes. This innovative approach is the first of its kind in Alaska.

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.

Navigating life's complexities can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, but you don't have to face these challenges alone. I am committed to helping foster a space of empathy, understanding, and respect. My approach centers around listening to your experiences and feelings, aiming to connect with your underlying needs. In a supportive space, we can explore strategies that resonate with your unique situation, facilitating a journey toward healing and growth.

Working through change and finding the path towards happiness and wellness is unique to the individual and can often be a challenging task. I approach each client as a whole person, taking into consideration biology, culture, spiritual connections, supports, thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I work to create a space that is compassionate and safe, and we move at a pace that is comfortable to you. My approach is strength-based and looks to help you build confidence and resilience. I have over 12 years of experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, and other difficult life situations.

Adolescence to early adulthood can be a really difficult time to navigate. It’s where we begin the path of self-discovery, establish our personal identities, form relationships, and look to the future. While these can all be very exciting things, they are often also quite challenging and accompanied by stress, conflict, strained relationships, and a whole lot of change. Through a person-centered and collaborative approach, I strive to help individuals strengthen their core beliefs, self-worth, and confidence within themselves.
