Deborah Gleason, LCSW
I am a gender affirming therapist and practice trauma informed care. The most common thing I hear from clients when they come to me is, "I've tried it all." They have done the work and feel they have plateaued in some way. I'm here to intuitively guide and teach you new skills and perspectives to go deeper in your connection to self, others, and this life. I am here to bear witness, listen, validate, advocate, and help as you navigate the next steps for yourself. I offer somatic healing methods as needed.

James Neumann, LCSW
Born and raised in Wisconsin. Graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work with a clinical focus. I started my therapy career in a psychiatric hospital and after about three years relocated to Alaska where I spent twenty years. Much of my Behavioral Health experience was conducted with the Alaska Native population along with other ethnic groups. I believe cultural aspects are an integral part of an individual's life and experiences. I focus the therapy experience on being client centered and individualized since I do not think one path is the same for all. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities.

I believe the most important qualities for a counselor to possess are genuineness & empathy. It is my purpose to create an atmosphere in which the client feels fully accepted exactly where they are. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and past trauma.
