Kintsugi Counseling LLC
Welcome
Whether this is someone's first time in counseling or fifth, our clients come to us to learn to set better boundaries, improve communication, manage their emotions and respond to stress in productive ways. We understand these challenges can be rooted in painful past experiences or new stresses. At Kintsugi Counseling, we use an individualized approach to help clients get to where they want to be in dealing with stress and in making decisions. Many people can benefit from talking with a counselor throughout their life. We provide services for clients across Alaska via telehealth, and in person at our Fairbanks office for adolescents ages 12 and up and adults.
For many clients, we find that EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), offered by our certified therapists, is an effective approach. Developed as a trauma treatment for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR can also be used to treat anxiety, depression and other symptoms resulting from life stress. All of our techniques are evidence-based, which means that research studies show that these approaches are effective and make a difference.
What is Kintsugi (Kin-Soo-Gee)?
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art. Every break is unique and instead of repairing an item like new, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the "scars" as a part of the design. Sometimes in the process of repairing things that have broken, we actually create something more unique, beautiful and resilient. Healing comes through connection, not perfection.
