I'm a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience helping adolescents, adults and families navigate trauma, anxiety, life, transitions, relationships, and other complex challenges. My approach is practical collaborative and grounded in the belief that therapy should help people make meaningful changes in their actual lives, not simply understand the problems better. My background includes extensive work in trauma informed and experiential therapy, including EMDR, mindfulness based approaches, internal family systems, and other evidence informed practices. I work to create a comfortable straightforward environment where clients can explore what is getting in the way, recognizing their strengths and develop approaches that genuinely fit who they are.
I'm a licensed therapist and one of the few clinicians in Alaska with a PhD in
Clinical Sexology — which means I'm trained to hold the full range of human
intimacy, identity, and relationships without judgment. I specialize in
working with LGBTQ+ individuals, couples navigating non-traditional
relationship structures (poly, ENM, kink-affirming care), people in or
connected to the military, and anyone dealing with trauma, addiction,
anxiety, or depression. I've been doing this work since 2013, and I've found
that the clients who come to me are often the ones who've struggled to find
someone who truly gets where they're coming from. I'm not here to
normalize you — you're already whole. I'm here to help you move forward.
I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.
I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.
You're tuning into WYOU. THE Station where YOU matter! Hello, I'm Antoinette. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, and emotionally drained trying to hold it ALL together. Smiling on the outside an crying on the inside. Weather the issue is anxiety, trauma, depression, relationships or substances you're tuned into the right channel. I'm here to listen and understand what it is to be YOU! Without judgment or bias. I support the healing heart and the broken heart. I'm a real, and most of all honest. No Cap.
Looking forward to hearing from You. Until then stay locked in to the station WYOU where you matter.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe therapy should meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. I often compare therapy to going to the gym: it is dedicated time to strengthen the way you understand and respond to your thoughts, emotions, relationships and behaviors.
My approach is warm, direct and collaborative. You can expect empathy, compassion and acceptance, along with thoughtful questions and practical strategies that help you make meaningful changes. Your needs, experiences and goals will guide our work together.
I support adults and adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges and major life transitions. I also have experience working with concerns related to sexual orientation, identity, suicide prevention, family dynamics and professional stress.
You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start with what is happening right now and work together from there.
I believe healing happens within a safe, genuine, and supportive relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel accepted without judgment and free to show up exactly as you are.
Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and thoughtful. I combine empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies to help you better understand what you’re experiencing while also building tools you can use in your daily life.
As a therapist who primarily works with women, I understand how often women carry significant responsibilities while caring for others. Therapy is a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and receive the same compassion and care you so readily give to those around you. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—I’m honored to support you on your journey.
Now accepting new patients. Hello, I’m Abigail Nobles, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over six years of experience in psychiatric nursing. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, find emotional balance, and achieve lasting wellness through compassionate, evidence-based care. I provide treatment for adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is holistic and collaborative, focusing on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard.
Dr. Chika Galega-Sabum, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner currently accepting patients aged 5 and older. She holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Cincinnati and has a background in psychology. Dr. Galega-Sabum specializes in Medication Management, Psychiatric Evaluations, Psychotherapy, Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, Trauma, Substance Use Disorders, Alcohol Dependency, Grief, Eating Disorders, and Survivors of Sexual, Physical, and Emotional Abuse and more. She takes a holistic, evidence-based approach, addressing both symptoms and underlying causes of mental health and substance use concerns. Committed to personalized, patient-centered care, she works closely with individuals to develop treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and lifestyles. Passionate about mental health and addiction recovery, Dr. Galega-Sabum is dedicated to empowering individuals on their path to wellness and healing.
I enjoy working with both men and women, including teens and adults and have extensive experience providing mental health treatment to individuals with a wide range of clinical needs. I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and have spent much of my career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, where I led the mental health program at Butner and provided therapy and treatment planning for individuals living with serious mental illness.
My experience has taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, understanding the full context of their experiences, and providing practical, individualized support. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental approach to therapy and strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being honest about what they are experiencing and what they would like to change.
I believe when people find their purpose they find motivation. I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands others challenges and work at ensuring the client understands the why of what one does to foster behavioral changes.
