Therapists in Alaska

You don't really like to talk about your childhood or maybe you don't even remember a lot of it. You know parts were bad, the fights, addictions, mental illness, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, maybe even the death of a loved one. You try to put it behind you but you struggle in your marriage and yell at the kids. Holidays are hard, and sometimes you wonder if it's even worth living. You overcompensate or try to be invisible, because that's how you learned to survive. You suffer from a sense of not being worthy or enough, but it doesn't have to be like that. Life can be good. You ARE worthy and you ARE enough.

I work with individuals and couples 18 years and older experiencing challenges around sexuality, gender identity or gender roles, and within their relationships. I counsel from a framework of anti-oppression and intersectional feminism and I support people of all genders and sexual orientations. I am also happy to work with people in non-conforming relationships such as open relationships, swinging, and who are polyamorous. In addition, I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and who are acknowledging their trauma. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Alaska.

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.

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.

Welcoming new clients, serving women exclusively. I’d love to provide you support in addressing people pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, and boundary setting. I’m here for you if you’re grieving, experiencing anxiety, depression, or “smiling depression.” We can work together on exploring your experience in the Affair Triangle, or deciding to divorce (is it time to leave?)

I am deeply committed to the transformative power of therapy as the cornerstone of my treatment approach. While I maintain a multifaceted interest in human welfare, including the impacts of abuse and neglect, family engagement, parent training, and trauma throughout the lifespan, therapy remains central to my practice.

Therapy is about processing, healing, and making healthy changes in behavior. It is a great sign of growth when you no longer feel the need for therapy sessions; it means you were successful in making the changes you wanted. I take this approach to the therapeutic process to make sessions the most effective and most efficient they can be for you.

Are you feeling stuck? Many people seek therapy when they feel stuck with a mental health problem, such as depression, anxiety, unwanted relationship patterns, or difficulty recovering from a painful experience. Others may be struggling to cope with external sources of stress, like discrimination, abuse, or trauma. As a Licensed Psychologist, I help patients get unstuck by providing therapy that is supportive, confidential, and challenging. By helping you step out of your comfort zone, we can find new ways of coping with the problems you are struggling with or avoiding.

We will work towards processing life experiences while gaining skills, knowledge, and self-understanding along the way. Together, we will tailor this experience to you and your needs.
