Professional Counselors and Therapists in Homer, Alaska
Counseling in Homer, Alaska for children, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. We work with individuals, couples, and families across the southern Kenai Peninsula with practical support that helps you function better day to day.
Counseling is not one-size-fits-all. Each person brings a different set of experiences, challenges, and goals, so the work is tailored to what actually fits your situation.
Our therapists use an integrative approach that looks beyond symptoms. This can include factors like sleep, stress, relationships, and daily habits that influence how you feel and function.
When helpful, we also coordinate with other local providers to make sure you are supported from multiple angles and moving in a direction that makes sense for you.

Teen Counseling
A safe and supportive therapeutic environment that allows adolescents and teens to discuss and explore the challenges they face in their day to day life. Our down-to-earth counselors offer humor, warmth, science based psychoeducation and practical interventions to increase skills, help better manage emotions and teach tools to learn and practice healthy ways to cope with everyday challenges and stressors.
Child Counseling
A fun and interactive therapeutic process where children are engaged in various forms of play, movement and expression. In our child counseling sessions, kids are invited to explore and express themselves with their most natural language; play. This medium is both safe and effective, and invites kids to communicate thoughts and feelings that they might not otherwise be able to express verbally.
Individual Adult Counseling
Counseling creates a safe space to explore and identify goals, learn and practice skills and create changes that will enable you to be a happier and healthier you. Our counselors offer science based inventions with warmth and candor, allowing for honest and open communication of thoughts and feelings. In counseling, you will come to learn more about what you do, why you do it, and how you might do it differently, moving forward.
Family Counseling
An integrative therapy approach that involves the whole family system in identifying strengths, stressors, and challenges. The family and KPMH counselor work collaboratively to identify ways in which everyone can contribute to creating healthy and lasting change.

Family therapy includes education and tools to address emotional and behavioral issues.
