Licensed Professional Counselor in Anchorage, AK
Harness your wisdom for positive transitions and sustainable success.
Stephanie Palmer
I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, am fully qualified and insured, and I bring over 8 years of diverse experience to my practice.
I’m committed to providing a caring and professional environment, celebrating the remarkable transformations my clients achieve through our collaborative efforts.
Mission & Modalities
My mission is to provide a safe and compassionate space where healing can unfold. I am committed to fostering resilience, guiding self-discovery, and instilling hope.
Through eclectic and empathetic collaboration I support individuals, couples, and families in navigating life’s challenges through the following modalities:
Brainspotting
When talk therapy isn’t feeling effective, Brainspotting is a technique that allows you to process neurological “spots” where trauma or distress is held in the brain.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Goals of DBT are to help you develop healthy coping skills, create radical acceptance, decrease the day to day “auto pilot” response, and improve how you accomplish interpersonal effectiveness in relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Discover how CBT can inspire you to gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS will help you explore and understand your unique internalized emotional and cognitive “parts”, fostering harmony and balance in your pursuit to create a life worth living.
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT will help you become more aware of your emotional experiences, understand their underlying meaning, and learn how to express them in a healthy adaptive way.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
MI is a counseling approach designed to help individuals explore and resolve difficulties with change.
Concerns I Can Help With
Anxiety
When anxiety is taking over your life and limiting your potential, therapy can aid you in developing physical and emotional resilience for whatever life may throw your way.
Confidence
Many experiences in life can impact how we see ourselves and feel around others. Through a collaborative approach in therapy, you can learn to re-establish a more positive and compassionate relationship with yourself.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Exposure to a traumatic event can negatively impact and derail our sense of safety in so many ways. Therapy can help you resolve hypervigilance, irritability, intrusive memories, and protective avoidance.
Family Conflict
Do you feel like you and your family or spouse can never get on the same page? Maybe Co-Parenting is proving to be complex and difficult. Therapy can help your family unit improve communication, more effectively resolve conflict, or get through major life changes successfully.
Complex Trauma
Chronically experiencing traumatic events throughout your lifetime can impact your sense of identity and ability to feel secure in relationships. Therapy can aid you in your recovery and help you move forward.
Depression
Treatment for depression can effectively address common symptoms such as chronic fatigue, hopelessness, lack of interest in daily life, and difficulty concentrating. It is possible to overcome the challenges of depression with professional therapy.
