Dr. William McVey

Therapist

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.

Danny Gladden

Therapist

Virtual • Alaska


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.

Katherine Thompson Graves

Therapist

Virtual • Alaska


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.
