Therapists in Alaska

Greetings! My name is Janece and I am here to provide individuals and families with a safe and supportive place to work on sensitive concerns. I believe that change comes from commitment and dedication to improving oneself from the inside out. When individuals are able to regain control of life trouble, there is a tendency to feel better mentally, physically, and spiritually. I have my Doctorate of counseling psychology (PsyD), am a licensed professional counselor - supervisor (LPC), registered play therapist - supervisor (RPT-S), a nationally certified counselor (NBCC), certified dependency counselor - I (CDC-I), and a master addictions counselor (MAC).

Hi, I am Renee Leftwich-Render, I am a mental health therapist who works with individuals and couples who want to work through the challenges of life to discover their authentic selves. I counsel those battling depression, anxiety, self-esteem and image issues, post-traumatic stress, grief, women’s issues, and multicultural challenges. Life can throw you for a loop, can't it?! Can you remember a time in your life when you were truly content and happy? It was like everything was aligning in your world then life.

www.audrayorktherapy.com, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S) specializing in the areas of trauma (sexual abuse, physical abuse, child maltreatment), anxiety, depression, self-esteem & identity, LGBTQ+, and perinatal mental health. I see children ages 3 & up, teens, adults, and families. I use evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy: I am 1 of the 4 nationally certified TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) counselor in Alaska, am a certified EMDR provider, Filial Play therapist, Expressive Arts Therapy certified, PSI certified, and Yoga teacher.

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 have been an LMFT since 1993. During that time I've had both education and experience with many of the issues we encounter as we pass through our lives. Couples, individuals and teens are the majority of my practice. We work on relationship problems, divorce and co-parenting, anxiety and depression and parent-child problems. I also have training and experience working with clients with sexual concerns and Active Duty Military, families and Veterans. I am currently accepting telephonic and video clients in Oregon. Telehealth has been extensively researched and found to have similar positive results as face-to-face.

My focus in therapy is client centered and holding a space of non-judgement and unconditional positive regard. My passion is helping clients to achieve a level of resolution through challenging situations. I focus on individual strengths while working with life difficulties throughout the therapeutic process, and also to encourage the client to go at his/her individual pace in therapy.

My name is Maliko and I am a second generation Japanese American living in Fairbanks, Alaska, also known as Tanana Dene Land. I specialize in somatic based, neurodivergent affirming, trauma responsive therapy. Whether you're struggling with a new diagnosis or you're just struggling, learning the what and the why of our brain-body system can help us build understanding for ourselves as we learn how to navigate emotional turmoil.

As a therapist, my goal is to help clients find their best life. I would like to develop a collaborative space where life, relationships, employment, social, interpersonal issues can be discussed, addressed and improved. Life can be a challenge and everyone can benefit from extra support and skills. Together we can work toward building the life you deserve.

With life comes challenges; beautiful and heavy or dark. Every person has a story and it is valuable! I believe that while trauma can have a powerful impact, we are incredibly resilient. Every human deserves to experience healing, to live life fully, and thrive. I am holistic and humanistic; mind, body, soul, spirit are connected. I believe in the power of curiosity, energy, grace, connection, and humor. Therapy offers new learning, self-discovery, skill-building, growth, and healing. With practice we learn to work through trauma to be fully present for all the moments in this life. Be curious. I look forward to connecting with you!

There are times you may experience life controlled by intense emotions or paralyzing anxiety/fear, detached numbness takes over. Traumatic memories that are overwhelming, causing insomnia or night tears. Facing another day in Alaska with loneliness, regrets and even suicidal ideation is too much! Relationships suffer from conflict and lack of intimacy, distraction is inevitable.Teen conflict, locked in power struggles without solutions that result in endless frustration dominating your time. Emotional control, seems like only a vague dream, that is illusive and beyond you. You are on your way towards healing, We can show you with

As an immigrant, I have become part of a country that values diversity and integration, where I experienced the transformation of my life and therefore the transformation of my surroundings. While living in Alaska, I realized there is a need for mental health professionals who understand the implications of being an immigrant, and the importance of processing the loss of your language, food, music, friends, and place. Who also understand the difficulty of not knowing how to preserve who we are while adopting the values and gifts of the country which opened its doors to us.

I am a Master's level, pre-licensed therapist currently seeing clients under the supervision of a licensed, private therapist in Fairbanks. I work with clients locally and (via telehealth) throughout rural Alaska. I am committed to providing holistic, progressive, culturally conscious, and truly personalized counseling in a safe, friendly, and relaxed environment. The staff at my clinic believes in empowering and getting to know our clients. We are real people working with real people, and you will feel that difference as soon as you walk through our door.

We are here for those new to counseling and those who have been before. We have two therapists on staff: Virginia "Ginny" Redmond (LCSW) and Vanessa Shannon (LCSW). We provide services for youth ages 12 and up, adults and families across Alaska via telehealth, and in person at our Fairbanks office. We treat various types of symptoms and struggles such as: job stress, life changes, family support, anxiety, depression, and traumatic life experiences; to name a few.

Thank you for being here. Sometimes we feel uncertain about the direction of our lives or feel stuck in our career paths, relationships, sexuality, identity, and emotionality. There is a desire for change and feels like there's something missing; perhaps the spark you used to feel. Sometimes, stress, trauma, anxiety, and other internal and external factors are acting as roadblocks and you have little energy or knowledge to push through it alone. I would love to collaborate with you in navigating these challenges through internal exploration with focus on insight oriented approach and coaching to assist in your behavioral change.

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!

Hello, I'm Shera and I specialize in working with adults who may have experienced trauma or other adverse life events who struggle with not knowing who they are or what they want out of life. Many times PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues get in the way of living life on your terms. Many people struggle with advocating for themselves or living a balanced life.
