Meet the Therapist:

Nicole Zegiestowsky, M.S., Pre-Licensed Psychotherapist

Hello, my name is Nicole (she/her)!

In case you are wondering: My last name is pronounced phonetically as: “Zig-eh-Tau-ski.”

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, humanistic, feminist. and emotion-focused.

I actively incorporate our relationship, the “therapeutic alliance,” into sessions which may look like:

checking in on how a moment felt to you,
asking questions like, "Am I understanding what you're experiencing?"
connecting through humor

I use what is called the, "biopsychosocial model," which highlights a person’s physical health, psychological health, and social health.

Social health refers to the influence of relationships, religion, faith, economic status, culture, and social/systemic stressors (such as racism, sexism, discrimination, oppression, or misogynoir) on a person’s health and well-being.

Our work will incorporate what does matter to you and ditch what does not matter to you.

Prior to private practice I provided outpatient and residential psychotherapy services to children, teens, adults, seniors, couples, and families through community mental health, interdisciplinary primary care, and tribal health agencies.

I'm originally from the east coast and moved to Alaska in 2016. I love life in Alaska and cannot imagine living elsewhere!

In my free time I enjoy reading, hiking, paddling, foraging, fishing, playing instruments (piano and viola), birding, or spending time with my pets.

If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to call me and learn more.

Additional Clinical Training, Education, and Professional Memberships:

I was fortunate to have served as a 2019-2020 LEND Fellow (Leadership and Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Disabilities) through the University of Alaska Anchorage Center for Human Development.

This fellowship provided experience and training specific to clients who have developmental disabilities (such as Autism or ADHD) and/or dual diagnoses.

Telehealth Virtual Counseling Services in Alaska

Virtual Therapist for Adults

Research suggests people consider starting therapy for about two years before completing an intake appointment which suggests that:

Starting Therapy is Hard.

Has the hobby which once brought you joy no longer giving you that spark?

Do you wake up feeling exhausted, or do your thoughts feel out of control?

Does your internet history have "therapist near me" as a recurring search but the results leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, nervous, or stuck?

No matter what you are going through, you deserve to feel joy and find meaning in your life.

The treatment modalities I use the most in my clinical work are:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy,
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,
Emotion-Focused Therapy,
and Somatic Therapy,

though I use whichever approach fits best with each client.

Using telehealth sessions our virtual counseling appointments will support your well-being by finding new ways to connect with and support your mental and physical health in ways which align with your therapeutic goals.
