Brett Wilcox, LPC, LCMHC

Brett Wilcox is a licensed counselor based in Alaska with 25 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment. He holds the credentials LPC and LCMHC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and has worked broadly with issues such as PTSD, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, and interpersonal violence. Over the years he has facilitated group programs for adolescents and adults addressing substance use, domestic violence, and sex offending, and he also has experience working with couples.

Brett favors Coherence Therapy, an experiential and empathic approach that aims to resolve symptoms by addressing the emotional constructs that sustain them. That model emphasizes transformative therapeutic experiences and draws on the idea of memory reconsolidation to help replace entrenched patterns. He also integrates established methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

His counseling stance centers on individual autonomy and agency; he treats people as the experts in their own lives and works to reduce the typical power gap found in therapy. He aims to empathize deeply without imposing his own interpretations, helping clients discover insights from both conscious and unconscious material. When homework is used, it commonly involves holding the ideas and discoveries from sessions in mind between meetings to encourage natural resolution of persistent concerns. He is not accepting new clients at this time and does not work with international clients.
