Therapists in Alaska

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.

The Resilio Counseling Group, LLC was created with resilience as its core value to help heal, change, and improve lives. Through each therapeutic framework we offer, we leverage the innate resilience within each client to overcome a painful past, a set of overwhelming circumstances, or the hopelessness of facing a new day - all in the service of guiding you towards accomplishing your envisioned goals. We focus on what you want to achieve, instead of overly dwelling on a past which may be hijacking your future. Our goal is to provide you the tools to build the life that you want and spare you a lifetime of therapy.

Those who come to therapy are often ready for something to change. I like to work with people their stuck points, frustrations, feelings and all things relationship. Whether you are partnered, dating, or learning more about your relationship with yourself, I am here to provide support and guidance.

Are you letting everyday life stress you out? Are you experiencing challenges with your interpersonal relationships? Do you miss the intimacy in your relationship?

I create a safe and secure environment to facilitate growth in your personal or professional life. Counseling can be an enriching experience for most people.

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.

You are capable of reaching your full potential of living a fulfilling life. When we are overwhelmed by life transitions, relationship issues, and past traumas it becomes easy to forget what we want our lives to look like and who we want to be. Therapy provides the space to dedicate time to process and develop new skills to help you heal.

As a therapist, I believe that lasting change comes from the inside. I view therapy as a guide post to help individuals, couples, and families navigate difficult situations and to discover their inner strength and potential. I believe in providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and relaxed atmosphere to create a therapeutic alliance to help you attain your goals. For the past 7 years I have worked with children, families, and young adults from various backgrounds and life situations dealing with a wide range of complex issues such as; trauma, depression, anxiety, developing healthy relationships, and sexual issues

My style as a therapist can best be described as eclectic, as I draw from a variety of techniques and theoretical orientations. That being said I tend to be highly client centered, which means I assume clients are the authorities about their own systems. In therapy, it's my job to describe what the science of psychology has to offer given the presenting problem and my professional experience in the area. However, it's my clients who get to decide how this information is applicable to their lives. More about my therapeutic orientation can be found on my website: www.reynoldstherapy.com

I specialize in work with clients who are dealing with grief, healing from abuse, navigating women’s issues, and struggling with anxiety, depression and other life and mental health concerns. I have a special love for working with those in the LGBTQ plus community, and am passionate about offering an inclusive and healing space for all. I offer individual, family and couples counseling sessions, and enjoy working with people of all ages who are looking for growth and change.

You know something isn’t right in your life and hasn’t been right for a while. You also know that you really don’t like talking about it, but your behaviors are becoming more problematic every day. Maybe you are fighting with loved ones, eating or drinking too much, sleeping too much or not enough, avoiding intimacy with your partner(s). Life just seems hard most days, and relating to others is a challenge. Life can be good, and you deserve the good life. You AND your relationships have more potential than even you can imagine, and your true capabilities might be Limitless.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specializing in the areas of trauma (sexual abuse, physical abuse, maltreatment, PTSD), anxiety, depression, self-esteem & identity, and couples and family work. I have experience working with children ages 3 and up, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. When working with couples I utilize the research and theories of the Gottman Method developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman to facilitate reconnection and strengthen communication. I find it is important to use empathy, respect, compassion, and authenticity to form a genuine, trusting relationship with all my clients.

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.

We all want to feel desired! You deserve nonjudgmental support as you navigate conversations around what happens next in your relationship. I work with individuals to unpack the unhealthy examples of relationships and love they saw as children and discover what they want in life. The world of Ethical Non-Monogamy can bring up fears; fear of abandonment, fear of not being enough, or fear of losing your current value system. As a trained relationship therapist, I skillfully challenge each partner to recognize their negative responses and personal baggage. What happens next is a desire to break the cycle and start anew.

I am the Agency Psychologist for the Center for Systematic Therapy and Research Services (CSTARS).

I currently focus on directing two clinical programs with Clinical Director Melissa Byrd: 1) Relapse Prevention for advanced recovery in addiction and codependency (Group and Individual), 2) Sexual Victimization recovery from childhood and young adult PTSD (Group and Individual).

At Anchor Life Clinic, we learn how to focus in ways that open our body up to experiencing freedom, creativity, and spaciousness. During the process of anchoring, we accomplish 4 intentions: 1) Slowing down repetitive thoughts, 2) Weakening the power of repetition, 3) Bringing attention to the present, and 4) Changing our focus to creative functioning. Anchoring creates a purpose that cultivates awareness of change.
