Understanding Anxiety Counseling: Why It’s Beneficial
Anxiety is a common emotion that everyone experiences at various points in life. For many, however, anxiety can become intense and debilitating, affecting their ability to lead a fulfilling and healthy life. If you find it challenging to cope with anxiety, counseling can be a highly effective treatment option. Here’s how anxiety counseling works and how it can provide relief.
Gain Insight into Your Anxiety
One of the key benefits of anxiety counseling is the opportunity to discuss your feelings with a trained professional who can help you navigate your anxiety. In therapy, you will explore the root causes of your anxiety and learn effective strategies to manage it. Having a supportive person who understands your struggles can be invaluable in your journey toward relief.
Develop Healthy Coping Strategies
Beyond understanding your anxiety, our Alaska mental health professionals will equip you with healthy coping strategies to use during challenging moments. These techniques may include relaxation exercises, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Collaborating with a counselor, you’ll build a personalized toolkit of strategies that empower you to manage your anxiety effectively.
Counseling is a powerful approach to understanding and managing anxiety in a constructive manner. If you believe that anxiety counseling could be beneficial for you, don’t hesitate to reach out for support today.
Depression Counseling
No one should have to endure depression in silence—support is here!
Depression: The Risk of Being Sidetracked
Life is a journey filled with emotional highs and lows. However, depression can trap some individuals in prolonged periods of emotional distress, making it difficult to escape. When sadness and pain become overwhelming, seeking professional help can be crucial in regaining control over your life.
The pressures of our modern society contribute to daily stressors that can accumulate and leave us feeling unable to cope. As we strive to meet personal goals and societal expectations, falling short can lead to feelings of inadequacy, hopelessness, and helplessness—key indicators of depression.
Reach Out for Support
No one deserves to suffer from depression alone—you're not isolated in this experience! If you suspect that you might be dealing with depression, please don't hesitate to seek help. With the right treatment, many individuals who struggle with depression can find their way back to a fulfilling and joyful life.
Loss and Grief Counseling
If you’re grappling with grief and loss, telehealth treatment may be the right fit for you.
Grief: What to Do When the Pain Lingers
Losing someone you care about is one of life's most challenging experiences. Whether the loss comes suddenly or is anticipated, the grieving process can feel insurmountable.
You might find yourself wishing that time would ease your pain, yet each day begins with the sting of that absence. If you're searching for additional support to help you cope with these significant changes, know that you're not alone. Grief can be triggered by many events beyond the death of a loved one, including the end of a significant relationship, health declines or unexpected diagnoses, job loss, miscarriage, the death of a pet, or a sense of lost safety after a traumatic experience. These experiences can sometimes morph your sadness into feelings of numbness or emptiness.
Counseling Allows You to Accept Your Grief
There is no single path through grief, nor is there a set timeline for healing. Grieving is often described in terms of stages—such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—but these stages are not necessarily sequential. It’s completely normal to oscillate between these feelings or to find yourself feeling stuck in one stage. The aim of counseling is not to simply "move on," but rather to learn how to navigate life in the wake of your loss.
OCD Therapy
OCD Therapy Can Help You Address Your Anxiety!
Taking the First Step Towards Recovery
Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can often feel like your life is dictated by your compulsions. You may find yourself avoiding social events or falling behind in your job because of the time consumed by these rituals. However, there is hope. Through specialized therapy for OCD, you can learn to confront your fears in a supportive setting and discover how to live your life without succumbing to unhealthy compulsive behaviors.
Why Choose Us for Your OCD Treatment?
If you’re facing the challenges of OCD, remember that you’re not alone in this struggle. With appropriate treatment, many individuals with OCD can effectively manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
Our team of skilled Alaska mental health professionals has a wealth of experience in helping patients overcome OCD. We recognize the unique difficulties associated with this condition and are committed to guiding you through your journey to recovery. We provide a range of virtual treatment options, allowing us to customize your care to fit your specific needs.
Postpartum Depression Counseling
Do You Feel Overwhelmed Being A New Mom?
Are You Feeling Overwhelmed as a New Mom?
If you're experiencing challenges after welcoming your new baby, you're not alone. Postpartum depression (PPD) is surprisingly common, affecting approximately 1 in 7 new mothers. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or just not quite like yourself, it's essential to seek support.
What Is Postpartum Depression?
Postpartum depression is a form of clinical depression that can arise following childbirth. While many new moms experience temporary "baby blues" that typically resolve within a few weeks, PPD can persist for months or even years if not addressed. This condition can significantly impact your ability to care for yourself and your baby, making daily tasks feel incredibly challenging.
Counseling Can Help You Manage Your PPD
We provide a range of counseling services designed to help you cope with your symptoms and begin to feel like yourself again. We understand that reaching out for help can be daunting, but seeking treatment for PPD is a brave and important step toward recovery. Our compassionate Alaska mental health professionals are here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that caters to your specific needs and helps you reach your goals.
If you're facing postpartum depression after the birth of your baby, remember that you're not alone—our team is here to help!

Meet founders
Dr. Rathi and
Dr. Laddha.
A place for all women to find quality, personalized care. That was the dream.
In their 15 combined years of experience, board-certified psychiatrists Dr. Shama Rathi and Dr. Sipra Laddha have treated children, adolescents, and adults through holistic, specialized care. But in 2020, the two saw how mental health challenges impacted women disproportionately. Women-first therapy was hard to come by. And expensive.
That’s why Dr. Rathi and Dr. Laddha built LunaJoy. A care community where women at any age, any stage can easily access bespoke mental health care from home. And thrive.
