An LPC and registered Art Therapist, I provide clinically rooted, creative interventions. I specialize in treating adolescents as well as adults, providing support and help through many issues including: eating disorders, anxiety, depression, social pressures, self-harm, PTSD, and ADHD. The therapeutic approaches I use are well suited to working with many ages and needs, providing ways to process and communicate your experiences as well as learn skills to better navigate your world. Whether you are experiencing long term emotional or psychiatric pain, or the challenges of the complexity of life, I look forward to working with you.

Have you been socially isolated and overwhelmed with life? Do you feel run down, worried, and depleted? Are you hoping for wholeness, happiness, and freedom? These kinds of experiences are painful and exhausting. And without effective care, they can reduce the quality of your life and contribute to long-term health problems. This painful pattern often becomes a downward spiral, which can habitually undermine your joy, intimacy, and hope. You do not have to face this journey alone; choose the professional care you need and deserve. Our talented clinicians at Lighted Path Therapy Services are here to help.

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.

I enjoy working with both adolescents and adults. I have worked in a wide variety of settings including Alternative High School, Outpatient and Inpatient Drug Treatment, State Hospital, Community Mental Health Center, and for the past 3 years private practice. My background and years of experience includes assessment, interventions, crisis counseling, individual and group therapy.

I am a Psychologist and lifelong Alaskan, growing up and working in Anchorage. My clinical focus and expertise, whether as a therapist or when conducting evaluations, is to work with individuals to develop a sense of personal strength and capacity, and to identify and achieve their goals. I work with them and their family/support system to understand the basis of their current challenge(s), and collaborate to develop resources and skills that are developmentally appropriate for a successful resolution. My practice is split between providing therapeutic services and conducting neuropsychological evaluations.

Ever find yourself going around and around with a problem, talking about it but not seeming to get that problem solved? An alternative form of therapy: art therapy, may help. People of all ages and families can benefit from using art and play therapy. Problems that may respond well to the use of art and play therapy include depression, anxiety, childhood behavioral issues, difficulties in parenting, trauma, life transitions, and substance use disorder.

I believe we all have the capacity to feel more regulate and secure with our lives. I work with adults and teens hoping to improve upon their current coping strategies to heal. Many of my clients have struggled with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and grief. Some clients find themselves navigating life transitions and are struggling to not lose themselves in the process. Together we create a therapy plan that will work with your goals. Much of my therapy involves exploring past and present attachments, strengthening your internal and external resources and teaching skills that you can use daily to feel better.

Your Story Matters. That is the philosophy behind Healthy Minds Counseling. Before any movement can occur, you need a safe and non-judgmental space where your concerns, fears, and goals can be identified and addressed for the singular purpose of positive personal growth.

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.

Hi! My name is Elaina and I enjoy helping people who struggle with difficult feelings such as anxiety and depression, sexuality and gender identity struggles, as well as substance use and addiction.

It’s time to PAUSE, HEAL, and LIVE. We may find ourselves just existing or wrestling through our day, instead of really living.

Clients see me for a range of goals, challenges, traumas or current lifestyle issues. Some have a vague feeling that something is missing from their life's experience, some are clear what is not working but feel stuck in attempts to shift and some clients are therapy-savvy and looking for a supportive therapeutic presence.

Often people begin looking for a counselor when things in their life haven’t been going the way they want. Perhaps you’re struggling with worrying about the future, or stuck thinking about the past. Maybe something feels missing, or maybe you feel lost and unsure how to move forward in your life. Or like many, perhaps you’re sitting there wishing life came with directions so you could start sorting out the storm of thoughts, emotions, and memories you face each day. If so, I want you to know you don’t have to face this alone. I’m here to help.
