Therapists in Alaska

It is a privilege to work with individuals in my home-state of Alaska. Folks that find their way to me are often looking for ways to address past trauma, improve quality of relationships, prevent relapse and/or address substance use, explore and change patterns of codependency in relationships, express and advocate new boundaries, process grief and loss, and discover options for improved overall quality of life. I coordinate care with other providers when necessary to offer a holistic approach to the whole person, with support for as many facets of your life as possible.

I am the Agency Psychologist for the Center for Systematic Therapy and Research Services (CSTARS). I work full-time after a career in research (University of Washington 1987-2004) and faculty appointment (John's Hopkins, Department of Mental Health [2004-2007]). I currently focus on directing two clinical programs with Clinical Director Melissa Byrd: 1) Relapse Prevention for advanced recovery in addiction and codependency (Group and Individual), 2) Sexual Victimization recovery from childhood and young adult PTSD (Group and Individual). I conduct neurodevelopmental assessments for Dr. Stumme-Parks' work with CSTARS' ADHD clients.

Heidi Kinsella has been an active member of the recovery community for over 33 years. She has extensive expertise in the treatment of sexual addiction and was mentored by and worked alongside Dr. Patrick Carnes, the pioneer in sexual addiction research and treatment. Heidi recognizes the importance of having a therapist who understands the complexities of addiction. She has worked with many individuals who have suffered from the effects of substance abuse, sex addiction, and those who have been affected by a loved one's addiction. She offers five day intensive retreats and Equine Assisted Therapy at Fourth Dimension Healing Ranch.

My name is Donna and I am here to provide a safe and supportive place for you to work on what is important to you. I believe change comes from inside and that support and guidance can help us reach our goals. I approach counseling from a strength-based perspective and trauma-focused lens using EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and DBT. If you are having difficulty coping with life's problems, or experiencing a sense of unhappiness, choosing counseling is a brave choice. When we feel in control of our lives and less troubled, we feel better mentally, physically, and spiritually.

I am trained as a generalist and treat adults with a wide-range of concerns such as mood disorders, adjustment difficulties, personal growth, existential concerns, attachment styles, relational issues, and life transitions. I practice from a relational approach, and place heavy emphasis on collaboration, the therapeutic relationship, and a here-and-now understanding in order to address your needs and create a meaningful experience.

I intimately relate to the adversity and discomfort that accompany life's trials. With that being said, I am deeply committed to facilitating personal growth and healing. My guiding principle is the transformative power of therapeutic relationships, wherein I embrace an authentic and relational approach to support my clients. My practice is anchored in the belief that each person's need for feeling seen and heard is paramount to their healing process.

Hello. I have a strong pull towards attachment-based and strength-based approach to therapy. I build upon this foundation with Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting (BSP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) as primary approaches, seeking to support insight and growth in clients who experience depression, dissociation, distress arising from trauma, attachment issues, and/or anxiety.

Life can be challenging and painful. Medication and antibiotics may be needed to address significant infected physical wounds. The same process is needed to address infections of the Heart. Medication takes time to work. The healing process takes effort. It doesn’t come easy. There are no quick fixes. The right medications attack the root, which in turn, fixes the symptoms. What are some HEART medications needed to address psychological/emotional infections? Self-awareness, forgiveness, understanding/acceptance, renewal of the mind, purpose, connection and belonging!

With my background in fitness and physical therapy of patients with chronic pain and as a substance abuse counselor, I am convinced that every individual has the desire to be seen, heard and understood. I do believe that I have been uniquely wired to provide insight, acceptance, understanding and support when life gets hard, lonely or confusing. A good portion of what I offer is to help you understand & express your feelings, needs, desires, longings and hope in a safe tranquil environment.

We all have times where we need someone to listen. Sometimes, we don't even know why we feel unsettled. We are not broken or need to be fixed. We have the capacity to heal inside of ourselves. My job is to assist clients to find that voice inside, that "self" leadership that is our best guidance to our authentic self. I believe therapy is a parallel process where I walk next to you and I hold the space for your healing. Our work together is an opportunity for you to find your true north. Our work together will be what you want to accomplish and a deep discussion about your needs, issues and desires.

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.

When we experience traumatic, intense or habitual stressors, we tend to wear down over time. Realizing something needs to change, we reach out for help. It has become my life's passion to provide help and relief in the lives of those individuals ready for change. I collaborate with my client to find his or her own answers. I believe, that we already know what the answers are to our unique challenges. Sometimes we simply need someone to help guide us through the process of discovering those answers.
