Brett Wilcox, LPC, LCMHC

Brett Wilcox is a licensed counselor in Alaska with 25 years of experience helping people navigate trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He has worked extensively with individuals and groups on issues such as PTSD, sexual abuse, interpersonal violence, substance misuse, domestic violence, and sex offending, and he also enjoys working with couples to address relational concerns.

Brett’s approach emphasizes addressing the emotional and experiential roots of problems rather than simply managing symptoms. He draws on experiential methods that support deep internal change and aims to help clients identify unconscious patterns that maintain unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That orientation has led many people who felt stuck after other therapies to find meaningful shifts within a relatively small number of sessions.

He frames his work around client autonomy and agency, treating each person as the expert on their own life and actively reducing the power imbalance that can arise in therapy. Brett describes his role as empathetic and collaborative rather than authoritative, and he works to avoid imposing his own interpretations so clients can discover insights from their conscious and unconscious experience.

When appropriate, Brett assigns simple between-session practices that ask clients to hold or notice the constructs uncovered during sessions, a technique he finds often supports natural resolution over time. He honors clients’ spiritual and religious experiences and tailors treatment to each individual’s needs, goals, and history. Brett holds LPC and LCMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and brings a calm, respectful stance to work with adults and adolescents across a wide range of life challenges.
