WHO THE HECK IS THIS REEVE GUY ANYWAY?
Meet Reeve, Lou’s steadfast partner in life, in crime, and also in the enriching journey of psychotherapy. Their paths crossed in Minneapolis, where they met during their studies, and now, they find themselves in Wasilla, Alaska, blending their passions for healing and creativity.
Reeve brings a unique blend of warmth and wit to his practice, fostering a welcoming environment for his clients. His approach is characterized by an engaging playfulness and keen insight, making therapy a journey of discovery rather than a chore. While Lou is a therapist in Wasilla, Alaska and a therapist in Minneapolis, MN, Reeve is dedicated to serving the Alaskan community, primarily working with clients in Anchorage in-person as well as online.
The Existential Explorer:
My name is Reeve, and if you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Do I hate my job?... Do I hate people?... Am I just a naked ape on a floating rock in the vastness of empty nothingness?... Is life just a cosmic joke played by the universe, then I must be the punchline, constantly searching for meaning in a world that thrives on absurdity, while simultaneously panicking over whether I’m the one who misunderstood the setup. Maybe I’m just a misplaced comma in the grand narrative, wondering if I should be part of a profound statement or an ironic twist, all while trying to convince myself that I’m not just a footnote in someone else’s crisis.”—well, I might be the therapist for you.
I’m a master’s-level counselor on the path to licensure. My mission is to support individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the often tangled pathways of emotional pain and trauma. I specialize in anxiety, PTSD, addiction, wartime trauma, neurodivergence, and family/relational concerns. Utilizing a blend of traditional talk therapy and expressive arts to foster a nurturing space for self-discovery and healing. I believe in a medication-free approach to mental health. With a rich background in trauma-informed care and a commitment to holistic healing, I believe in the power of conversation and connection to foster genuine transformation. Frustrated by the limitations of the American healthcare system, I advocate for a more humane, client-centered model that prioritizes understanding the underlying causes of emotional distress.
In this intricate journey of life, we often find ourselves lost in a dense forest of emotional pain, wondering how to find our way out. The path can feel obscured, tangled with misunderstandings and shadows of past experiences. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle that seems unbreakable—like a bird caught in a storm—know that you don’t have to weather it alone.
Therapy serves as a compass, guiding us through the underbrush to discover clearer skies ahead. By employing Adlerian, Person-Centered, Narrative, and Gestalt approaches, I create a sanctuary where you can freely express yourself, illuminating the path toward your goals and dreams. Together, we can lift the fog of confusion and help you reconnect with loved ones, fostering understanding and harmony.
For many, the weight of trauma acts like heavy stones in a backpack, hindering our movement and blinding us to opportunities that await. Therapy helps to lighten that load, transforming obstacles into stepping stones on your journey to freedom—mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Just as a skilled gardener prunes away dead branches to allow new growth, I integrate traditional talk therapy with expressive arts, nurturing your potential to blossom in new ways. My background in Enhanced Illness Management and Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment equips me to support those facing the dual challenges of mental health and addiction.
Finding relief can be a daunting task, but it can also be a surprising revelation. Imagine reclaiming the vibrant colors of your life after a long winter; many clients discover renewed clarity and emotional strength as they cultivate healthier coping skills.
Take the first step on this journey of healing—connect with me today, and let’s navigate this forest together, uncovering the light that’s always been within you.
