Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My style is conversational, collaborative, and direct, balancing warmth with honesty and practical feedback. I work especially well with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, and moral injury arising from high-responsibility environments, including veterans, first responders, and medical professionals. Many appear highly functional outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the lives they once recognized.
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and able to serve clients in the states of FL, AK, MO, and MA. I am passionate about working with adults who are ready to explore their vulnerabilities and become better versions of themselves. I understand that taking that first step to ask for help is the hardest, and that all the hurt, frustration, and pain that brought you to this point are all valid! In my office you can expect to be able to share your experiences in an open and safe environment.
I am able to evaluate and make diagnoses, and/or support existing diagnoses and work with you for a 'best-fit' solution to your needs. So many come from a past of being told they are 'X, Y, Z" and often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed.
My goal is to help find a good treatment start point that resonates with you and provide evidence-based treatment to support your needs, goals, and desires to bring relief and remission, joy and hope.
All options on the table including progressive medication management, psychotherapy and counseling, or referrals for other modalities including deepTMS.
I'm Lina, and I'm passionate about empowering individuals on their journey to healing and growth. With a diverse background in hospital social work, outpatient mental health services, and inpatient psychiatric care, I have gained invaluable experience and insights that enable me to support a wide range of clients facing emotional and mental health challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Anchorage
Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Anchorage starts with finding care that is affirming, specific, and aligned with what you want to work on. An LGBTQ friendly therapist in Anchorage may support concerns related to identity, gender identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in Anchorage, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches your needs.
Anchorage has a meaningful mental health care community, but LGBTQ affirming therapists in Anchorage may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping care local to Alaska. In addition to specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their background, identity, or approach matters to you. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ populations, including therapy for gender identity in Anchorage, LGBTQ counseling in Anchorage, or LGBTQ couples counseling.
Therapy in Anchorage can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check virtual and in-person availability, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to meet.
