In my psychotherapy practice with adolescents, men, women and families the focus is typically on issues such as behavioral concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, ADHD and anger. I believe that everyone is entitled to be treated with respect and honesty and that therapy should start where the client is at. Additionally, each client has their own ways of gaining insight and implementing new patterns into their lives and will have their own pace at which they discover the strengths within themselves. I like to work with the client to discover what is most effective for them and go from there.

I specialize in providing care to veterans, families, couples, and individuals facing overwhelming life struggles in need of guidance. My clients are typically committed to learning, processing, and mastering skill sets that will generate personal growth, better relationships, and, most importantly, improved quality of life. I have helped people navigate complicated marital problems, and parent-child relationships. I provide therapeutic support to single parents, grandparents, and multigenerational caregivers. I also work with people in recovery from addiction, religion-based abuse, toxic workplaces, and manipulation.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in both Alaska and Oregon. I have a MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University in 2007, and have worked in the mental health field for nearly 20 years. I use a trauma informed framework and believe in the intrinsic ability for each individual to heal, find their own path and create a life of meaning. It is possible to go from merely just surviving and coping, to thriving. Generational healing, changing patterns and post traumatic growth is absolutely attainable.

I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy to individuals committed to exploring their maladaptive behaviors and concerning emotional experiences. Psychodynamic therapy emphasizes the relationship between the therapist and client as the core of the healing process. Working in therapy with me is going beyond the symptoms and moving deeper to what fuels the anxiety, depression, anger, etc. We hope to arrive at a goal of better understanding you as a person and what fuels your thoughts, feelings, desires and hopes. I work with the client to develop a goal, while always keeping in mind the goal of long-term emotional growth and stability.

I have lived in Alaska for over 30 years and understand the isolation unique to our rural and island communities. The environment is beautiful but the grey skies, dark days, and distance between us and loved ones can be 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.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself, family, and friends? Do you prioritize your needs last? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhlemed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Ignoring your needs and not making time for yourself can lead to long-term problems for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to live a better life.

You may be feeling discouraged, but it can get better. Have you tried therapy before and found it uncomfortable, unhelpful, or worse yet, harmful, or culturally irrelevant? When working with me you have a free consultation to see if we are a good fit because there is no "one size fits all." Healing occurs within the framework of a relationship between a counselor and the client. I am humbled to have the opportunity to help people envision possibilities and achieve new realities. Create new patterns of health and expand into new ways of being with Brainspotting. You can schedule online for "initial consultation"

Do you struggle with the effects of trauma, anxiety or depression? On the surface things have been going ok but it feels like you are masking at work, at home and with friends. Underneath the mask is the feeling that you don’t really belong, constant anxiety, imposter syndrome and a bit of perfectionism. Perhaps you’ve learned that to keep up appearances that people-pleasing and putting other people’s needs ahead of your own feels safer than being seen. The feelings of being too much and not enough plague you. You are tired of keeping this up and want to break free into your authentic self but something keeps holding you back.

Hello, I'm Laurey Gronemeier, and I provide online counseling across Alaska. Isn't it time you felt better? More empowered to become what you hope to be? How many times have you tried? You go into the woods to clear your mind, you confide in your friends, time after time, yet nothing seems to last. One day you're adrift, and the next you're high-centered, with no lasting improvement in sight. At times like these, it can be worthwhile to seek professional help. No judgment or pressure. Just respectful, specialized support from an Alaskan who gets it. Teletherapy is an art that takes expertise to do well. Reach out today.

One day we may download a User's Manual for being human. Until then, therapy can help us navigate the rocky shoals and shed light onto the dark spots while setting ghosts to rest. We are far more capable than we think we are or given credit for. Napoleon Hill is quoted as saying, "What you can conceive and BELIEVE, you can achieve." That works both ways. Therapy can often re-open the doors to choice, frequently help us find our feet, and often move us to look to a bright future and to hear the music of everyday living. It is really hard to run through the woods backwards.

By taking the step to initiate therapy, you are already beginning the process of change. At times, we feel lost or lack of confidence to navigate through critical and life-changing circumstances. Although, we have many strengths and skills, we have difficulty accessing these during periods of family or relationship crisis, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and trauma. As a clinician, I will use a mindful approach to facilitate the process of helping you reconnect with your strengths and discover skills, strategies and resources toward a healthier life.
