New Private Practice: Therapy Services | Anchorage, Alaska

Posted: February 27, 2024

I am delighted to announce my transition into private practice at Stellar Insight Counseling! My practice is currently accepting adult clients seeking individual therapy via telehealth and in-person nature-based walking therapy in Anchorage, AK. Details on how to get started as a client can be found here.

Meet Nicole Zegiestowsky, M.S.

My name is Nicole (she/her), and as a therapist in Alaska I believe that each client is the expert in his/her/their own life.

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

• checking in on how a moment felt to you,
• or asking questions like, “Do you feel I am understanding what you’re going through?”

Prior to private practice, I have provided outpatient and residential psychotherapy services to individuals across the lifespan through community mental health, interdisciplinary family medicine, and tribal health agencies.

My work supports men, women, and nonbinary Alaskans who are struggling with chronic illness, PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, parent-child relationship issues, and perinatal and postpartum depression and anxiety.

I offer individual and group therapy to adults seeking online counseling services; I tend to draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Nature-Based Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

It is a privilege to enter a healing relationship with another person and share the process of psychotherapy; I hope to be part of your recovery.
