Person-Centered 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).

Do you feel stuck? Are your problems getting worse? Looking to have more peace in your life? Does your life lack passion? I get the challenges of living with a mental health issue. My whole-person approach means I take into account all aspects of a person's life, including their physical health, relationships, spirituality, and environment. By addressing all of these factors, I can help individuals achieve greater balance, happiness, and fulfillment. Integrating conventional psychotherapy with mind-body practices like EFT, I may help you manage stress, cultivate relationships, and strengthen your self-awareness.

I am skilled in working with individuals who experience adjustment issues, trauma histories, challenges with mood regulation, relationship challenges, stress, gender dysphoria, and other many other life challenges including addiction. I especially enjoy working with those individuals who live alternative lifestyles and who have alternative relationships. I specialize in gender identity. I am comfortable working with individuals under the GLBTQ+ umbrella. While working on my Master's Degree (2007-2010), I had a concentrated focus on gender dysphoria and transgender issues. I have been working with individuals who are dually diagnosed (serious mental illness and addiction or developmental disabilities and serious mental illness since 1991.)

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in both Alaska and Oregon. I have a MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University in 2007, and have worked in the mental health field for nearly 20 years. I use a trauma informed framework and believe in the intrinsic ability for each individual to heal, find their own path and create a life of meaning. It is possible to go from merely just surviving and coping, to thriving. Generational healing, changing patterns and post traumatic growth is absolutely attainable.

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.

I offer a calm and private environment to share your present road block or mountain to climb whether it be in relationship to others or part of your solo journey.

I believe in empowering my clients to develop the skills and resilience needed to navigate life's challenges. I utilize a collaborative and strengths-based approach, tailoring treatment plans to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. Drawing from CBT, person-centered, and mindfulness principles, I help clients cultivate self-awareness, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies.

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. Catering to children, young adults, individuals, and families, I utilize an integrated, person-centered methodology, infused with trauma-informed and multi-cultural perspectives.

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.

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.

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.

Whether you’re looking to heal from childhood trauma, manage burnout, begin your transition, or whatever you may be struggling with, I can help to offer a path forward.

I work at Greatland Clinical Associates located in Anchorage. As a therapist, I strive to provide a supportive, respectful and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can fully explore your concerns, challenges, and values. I support the humanistic principles that people are best helped by a therapist who is psychologically present and establishes a therapeutic environment that is accepting, empathic, and authentic. The relationship the client and therapist build is itself an important agent of change and therefore, is an integral part of the therapy focus.
