Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska. I have been working in the field of behavioral health since 2009, with clients ranging from pre-teens with behavioral problems, to adults with chronic mental illness. My specialties are working with adolescents, and the fields of anxiety and trauma and substance abuse.
I offer a client centered counseling approach. I believe that ultimately you are the person who is the expert on you and your struggles, and that you know what help you need. My style can be described as Motivational Interviewing, with a lot of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques connected with it. I try and pepper my counseling with humor and validation with where you are and what you have gone to.
Your decision to reach out for counseling is incredibly brave. It takes a lot of courage to make this choice. I want to help make this process as helpful and as least invasive as possible.
I am very excited to work together.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Bipolar disorder, Depression, Coping with life changes, ADHD, Multicultural Concerns
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing

Already with just a few simple responses can give me great relief. He has a genuine way of responding and I appreciate that already

My first video session opened my eyes to a lot of things, I was also recommended a book to read that has hit the nail on the head. Still have a lot of work to do but he’s helped me just by listening and it’s changed a lot for me in the short time I’ve been able to speak with him!

I appreciate the time he takes to check in and see how I’m doing. Even if I don’t respond he does not take that as a sign to stop the conversation. He is attentive and patient.

I have always walked away from my sessions feeling like I have hope and that things can get better. I’ve learned how to manage myself and better myself in ways I didn’t think possible. Thank you so much for all you do and I look forward to future sessions!

Harsimranjeet is a great guy to talk with. He really helped me a lot in understanding some things my son is going through, and myself as well. I am very grateful to have found him.
