He uses an eclectic approach to therapy drawing from the most effective and efficient evidence-based exercises/treatments for each individual client. Mike knows the pain of mental illness as well as trauma and has made it his life’s work to help others climb free from those pits.

Jacey Persinger, M.Ed., Resident in Counseling
Jacey Persinger, Resident in Counseling, received her M.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in August 2021. She received her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education in 1998 and spent many years working as a developmental specialist in early intervention before transitioning to the mental health field. This background gives Jacey a holistic perspective that considers the multitude of influences which intersect to create each person’s unique, personal story. It also informs her assessment of the potential causes for her clients’ pain and unhappiness.
Jacey believes the foundation of every therapeutic relationship begins with empathic connection, and she seeks to create a space for clients that feels safe and welcoming for the sharing of their personal stories. She then works collaboratively with clients to determine the cause of their distress, and the barriers stopping them from living their best life. She utilizes a variety of evidence-based interventions to help clients overcome their personal barriers to happiness, whether through acceptance, change, or a combination of both. Her techniques primarily stem from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). However, she also endorses concepts within other theoretical lenses; specifically, she values aspects of attachment theory, psychoanalytic theory, and family systems approaches.
When she is not providing services, Jacey enjoys running, cooking, playing with her dogs, and cheering on her favorite teams. Jacey is the spouse of a retired veteran, and the mother of three boys and two dogs. As a former military spouse, she enjoys working with the military population. She has experience working with adults and children ages 10+ for concerns related to: anxiety, depression, phobias, grief and loss, life transitions, and challenges associated with military-life and retirement. Jacey is strictly a telehealth provider, operating under the license and clinical supervision of Bernadette Landry, LPC.

She/Her/Hers
I am a pre-licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping individuals with anxiety, coping skills, and depression.
Current Supervisor : Clervette Williams, LPC License# 0701009037 and Bernadette Landry, LPC License# 0701007435
Do you desire a safe, secure, and nonjudgmental space to share your story and be heard? Allow me the opportunity to help create that space with you. I look at the world around me and see the need for better. I see a need for those who are struggling from challenges to be treated with dignity and respect. It is my belief that no one should be left to carry their burdens alone or feel trapped inside their own minds. I am here to let you know that you are not alone and you are far more than the sum of your struggles, challenges, or circumstances.
As a counselor, my passion lies in helping you come to terms with your past, embrace your present, and move forward into a fulfilling future. I approach therapy from a humanistic and existential perspective that cultivates self-awareness, self-understanding, acceptance, growth, and responsibility in my clients. Let's work together to draw on your strengths.
I am fully committed to providing an environment of acceptance, hope, and encouragement. Receiving encouragement from others is important because it acts as a catalyst that pushes us to strive toward our full potential. All I ask is that you trust yourself and trust the process. Come sit with me and tell me your story.
