Grief Therapists in Ester, AK

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.

From the outside looking in, you are tough, resilient and there is nothing you can't manage on your own. But inwardly, you feel consumed by anxiety, hindered from memories of the past on constant replay and intrusive thoughts about the future interrupting your concentration on other things. Your sleep is imbalanced and you feel little to no motivation to care for yourself in small basic ways each day. You feel overwhelmed by life's expectations and are starting to avoid the people, places and activities that used to make you smile! You want change, to feel happy with your choices, and to be fulfilled with yourself once more.

Sometimes life can be difficult, and we need a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space to work through our struggles. My purpose as a counselor is to support you along the path to making positive changes in your life. It is not uncommon to feel stuck at times. I offer encouragement, hope, understanding, and added tools to assist you in achieving your goals.

I enjoy working with teens, adults, and Elders in individual, family, and relationship-based therapies. I have a passion for working with those effected by trauma, those with challenges related to rural and Alaska-living, and those experiencing chronic health and mental health concerns.

SokyaHealth is proud to offer Fairbanks, AK a full circle of mental health care services, including therapy, coaching, support groups, medication management, and an online library of self-care resources. We make world-class mental health care accessible for everyone!

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.

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!

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.

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 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 to counseling. 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.

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.

We are a group of six dedicated Counselors whose priority is to provide compassionate, trauma-informed, holistic mental health care services. The collective is housed in a multidisciplinary clinic, sharing office space and working closely with Fairbanks Family Wellness and Golden Heart Heath and Wellness. It is our hope that you will be supported in an integrative environment that understands the mind-body connection. We offer counseling services for all ages and we treat individuals, couples and families for an array of concerns.

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.

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.

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.

If you are looking for a change in your life - this is it. We all have seasons in our life where it is hard to manage, hard to deal with, and hard to figure out on our own. Sometimes we just can't cope with all the challenges of daily life and need someone to help navigate and offer a fresh new look. Doesn't matter what you are looking for, we can problem-solve it together and get you feeling better soon!

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.

Hello, I'm Laurey Gronemeier, and I provide online counseling across Alaska. Isn't it time you felt better? More empowered to become what you hope to be? How many times have you tried? You go into the woods to clear your mind, you confide in your friends, time after time, yet nothing seems to last. One day you're adrift, and the next you're high-centered, with no lasting improvement in sight. At times like these, it can be worthwhile to seek professional help. No judgment or pressure. Just respectful, specialized support from an Alaskan who gets it. Teletherapy is an art that takes expertise to do well. Reach out today.

For over 30 years I have worked with a variety of patients and client groups, including: the military, the school district, hospitals, dialysis, hospice and cancer navigation. It has been a tremendous joy to see the growth in services and the focus on continuity of care - a true vision of mine. I believe we can best care for our patients and clients by empowering them to care for themselves.
