Hello! Welcome! I have been a counselor, social worker, life coach , and energy healing practitioner for more that 20 years. I am currently licensed in the states of Alaska and Utah. I work from a positive psychology perspective because I have found that building upon strengths is just as important as solving problems. I incorporate mindfulness and qigong to help people manage stress and become happier and healthier. I enjoy working with both U.S. and international clients. I honor differences in culture, gender, religion, race, lifestyles and beliefs. I welcome clients who want to recover from pain they experienced because of their race, gender, beliefs, or neuro-divergent way of thinking. I am presently living in the desert southwest. I enjoy traveling, writing, and creating things with pen and paper, yarn, beads, and clay. I have personal practice of mindfulness meditation and qigong. I am a deeply spiritual person. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become happier and healthier! Beverly

Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyTrauma and abuseSelf esteemCareer difficulties
30 years offering treatment
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor, ( NCC) with other 30 years experience in both counseling and education. I started my professional career as an elementary special education teacher in the early 80's. I obtained my M.Ed in counselor Education in 1989 from the University of Arkansas and in 1989 I went to Alaska for the first time as along term substitute teacher. I worked in the Bering Strait School District, in Unalakleet, Alaska. I would return a year later, and work a total of 11 years as a teacher, itinerant school counselor, and village school principal in the district. I would go on to work in two other school districts before retiring from Alaska in 2004. After returning to Arkansas, and home, I worked as a kindergarten counselor in a center with 180 kids and 18 teachers. I fully retired in 2007. In 2009, I became a military and family life counselor and have been doing this for 10 years. My treatment approach is based on my training and my personality. I was trained in CCT and it fite my style, even though I so specialize in crisis counseling. I have found helping the client, and not necessarily directing the client is more effective for me. As I stated I specialize in crisis and PTSD counseling right now with the military, and their families.

14 years offering treatment
Hi, I’m Joanna. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Alaska with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals through emotional, relational, and life transitions. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, and my clinical background spans outpatient therapy, residential treatment, and leadership in mental health and substance use care. I have experience helping clients work through stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and major life changes. I believe in treating everyone with deep respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Therapy with me is never one-size-fits-all—our work will be tailored to meet your unique needs, goals, and pace. My style is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I believe in the power of deep, meaningful conversation—therapy that goes beyond surface-level coping skills and invites true understanding and transformation. If you're someone who finds healing in talking things through and uncovering the “why” behind your patterns, we’ll likely be a good fit. I work from a relational and psychodynamic lens, while integrating trauma-informed care, narrative therapy, and CBT as needed. But above all, I listen deeply. My goal is to help you feel truly seen and supported as we explore what’s holding you back and what healing might look like for you. You don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself—therapy can offer a path back to clarity, connection, and wholeness. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where you can reflect, process, and grow in your own way. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and grounded life takes real courage. If you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
