Hope Pattengale Counseling, LLC

Hi, I'm Hope. I graduated with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska. I've worked in mental health since landing in Alaska in 2011 and am continuing to find new ways to walk with Alaskans through the challenges life brings. In addition to meeting licensing requirements, I've taken additional trainings in trauma protocols such as EMDR and Trauma Focused-CBT, Child Centered Play Therapy, Filial Therapy, Attachment, and the Gotten Method. When I started as a therapist I was passionate about working with children and families, but the more seasoned in life I become the more I realize that the youngest members of society are deeply affected by the health of those around them- whether it be parents, relatives, neighbors, or community providers. My original passion remains the same but has expanded to walking the journey of healing and positive mental health with all individuals. We all deserve a safe place to land, to be heard, and to grow. I would be honored to accompany you on that journey and assist as a listener, motivator, and challenger when needed. My approach varies depending on the individual need of the client. I tend to offer a warm and calming presence in the therapy room while exploring the hard stuff, share meaningful insights from another perspective, and cheer you on as you make discoveries and big changes for your own mental health.
