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.

Chrissy Forgione, LCSW
When mental health is suffering, individuals may have difficulty reaching out for support. I aim to approach clients with this understanding; my goal is to work collaboratively and nonjudgmentally to establish a safe space for identifying and working through challenges. Therapy is often supportive to individuals when previously supportive coping tools stop working. I strive to encourage clients to reflect on their thoughts, build insight into their emotion experiences, and identify where and how the individual has the power to make changes to improve their quality of life.

Samantha Funk, LPC
I have lived in Alaska for over 30 years and understand the isolation unique to our rural island communities. The environment is beautiful but the grey skies, dark days, and distance between us and loved ones is daunting. If you are motivated and willing to take an active role in achieving your goals, then let me help you make your days brighter and support system more reachable. I will work collaboratively with you to establish goals and will tailor my approach based on your needs. I integrate cultural perspectives as often as possible and will do whatever I can to make therapy a positive and useful experience.
