Meet Alicia Alfaro, MS, LPC!
Healthy relationships begin with understanding, connection, and feeling heard. 💛

We’re excited to introduce Alicia Alfaro, a Licensed Professional Counselor at Common Thread Counseling who helps couples strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and navigate recurring conflicts with greater understanding and compassion.
Through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Alicia helps partners explore the emotions beneath their disagreements, rebuild trust, and create deeper, more meaningful connections. She also supports adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and life transitions.

With a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach, Alicia creates a safe space for clients to feel heard, build on their strengths, and discover new ways forward.

✨ Whether you're looking to reconnect with your partner or seeking support for your own healing, you don't have to navigate it alone.

🌿 Common Thread Counseling is growing—and we’re looking for someone special to help us grow well.

Behind every calm, welcoming therapy practice is someone making sure the details are cared for, the systems are running, the clinicians are supported, and relationships with the larger community continue to grow.

We’re hiring a part-time Practice Coordinator & Office Manager to become an important part of the team behind Common Thread Counseling.
This isn't a traditional front-desk position.
Our practice uses digital self-check-in, which means we're looking for someone who can take ownership of the bigger picture: practice operations, clinician support, administrative systems, client coordination, and community outreach.

You might be a great fit if you're the kind of person who can keep a healthcare office beautifully organized, troubleshoot a printer without panicking 😉, warmly connect with a local provider, navigate sensitive client communication with compassion and boundaries, and notice what needs to be done before someone has to ask.

We’re especially looking for someone who is:
🌿 Warm, personable, and professional
✨ Highly organized and attentive to detail
💻 Tech-savvy and comfortable learning new systems
🤝 Confident building relationships in the Anchorage healthcare community
🧠 Calm and grounded when communicating with people who may be distressed
💛 Independent, proactive, and genuinely enjoys supporting a team

The details:
📍 Anchorage, Alaska
⏰ Part-time W-2 | 20 hours/week after onboarding
📅 Monday–Friday within the 9 AM–3 PM window
🏡 Hybrid flexibility: on-site + community outreach + remote administrative work
💵 $26–$30/hour, depending on experience
🚗 Mileage reimbursement for local outreach
🌱 Opportunity for expanded hours as our practice continues to grow
🩺 3+ years of administrative or operational experience in healthcare or mental health is required

We’ve also intentionally created a gradual onboarding process so our new coordinator has time to learn the practice, our systems, and our team before stepping fully into the role.

At Common Thread, we care deeply about the experience our clients have when they walk through our doors—but we also care about creating a practice where the people doing the work feel supported, valued, and connected.

If you're someone who loves creating order behind the scenes and building meaningful relationships out in the community, we'd love to hear from you. 🌿

📩 To apply:
Please send your resume, a cover letter highlighting your healthcare administration and community relationship-building experience, and three professional references to [email protected]

🌿 Meet Tika Chamlagai, LCSW.

There can be so much pressure around beginning therapy.
What am I supposed to talk about?
Where do I even start?
What if I can't explain what's going on?
What if my story is complicated?

Tika's answer is beautifully simple:
❤️ You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin wherever you are.

Tika is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than six years of experience supporting people through trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral challenges, life transitions, and difficult seasons.
She has advanced training in EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and draws from ACT, DBT, CBT, Gestalt Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Family Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

But you won't find a one-size-fits-all formula in Tika's therapy room.
Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to the person sitting in front of her.

As a trilingual clinician, Tika places particular value on cultural humility and recognizes that our stories don't exist in isolation.
🌎 Language matters.
❤️ Family matters.
🌿 Culture matters.
🧠 Identity matters.
✨ Lived experience matters.

All of those pieces can shape how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and what healing looks like.
Tika's clinical experience spans hospital and residential care, addiction treatment, crisis services, and outpatient therapy, giving her a broad perspective on the many different ways people arrive at therapy.

You don't have to know exactly where you're going before you begin.
Sometimes the first step really can be:
This is where I am right now.

And we can start there. 🌿

You don't need the perfect words, a perfect plan, or even a clear starting point. You just need somewhere safe enough to begin.

🌿 Meet Jennifer O'Neal, LCSW.

Sometimes healing isn't about becoming a completely different person.
Sometimes it's about reconnecting with the strength, wisdom, and resilience that were there all along.
That belief is central to Jennifer's work.

With more than 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Jennifer brings an incredible depth of experience supporting adolescents and adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and complex circumstances.

Jennifer is a Certified Brainspotting Therapist and is also trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
But modalities are only part of what happens in therapy.

Jennifer's approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity. She creates space for clients to understand themselves more deeply, process experiences that may still be affecting them, strengthen emotional regulation, and begin moving beyond patterns that no longer serve them.
Her background includes more than two decades in outpatient behavioral health, where she worked with youth and adults impacted by complex trauma, abuse, neglect, foster care involvement, housing instability, and other significant challenges.

She also helped develop Alaska's first Transition to Independence Program and spent more than a decade supervising the program.
And her commitment to trauma-informed care extends beyond the therapy room: Jennifer teaches Trauma in Childhood at the University of Alaska Anchorage. 📚

Jennifer also has a particular understanding of the emotional demands carried by helping professionals, healthcare workers, human-service professionals, and people working in crisis-response roles.
❤️

Sometimes the people who spend their days caring for everyone else need somewhere they can be cared for, too.
If you're ready to understand old patterns differently and reconnect with your own capacity for healing, Jennifer may be the therapist you've been looking for.

You have spent a long time surviving what happened. Therapy can create space to discover what comes next.

Meet Lindsey Wilson, MSW—one of the newest clinicians at Common Thread Counseling. 🌿

One of the things we appreciate about Lindsey's approach is a belief that sits at the heart of our work at Common Thread:

There is no single “right” way to heal.

For more than 15 years, Lindsey has supported Alaskans navigating some of life's more complicated seasons.
Trauma. Anxiety and depression. ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence. Grief and loss. Burnout. Relationship struggles. Major transitions.

But Lindsey doesn't begin with a diagnosis or a predetermined roadmap.
She begins with you.
❤️ Your experiences.
🌿 Your relationships.
🧠 Your nervous system.
✨ Your culture and identity.
🫶 And what you need to feel supported.

Her style is warm, collaborative, curious, and deeply respectful of each person's individual path.

Lindsey is trained in Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based approaches, somatic processing, attachment theory, and Yogic and Vedic practices.
Her work recognizes something we talk about often at Common Thread: sometimes insight is incredibly helpful—and sometimes healing also asks us to pay attention to what the body has been carrying.
A lifelong Alaskan, Lindsey has spent her career supporting both youth and adults as they untangle old patterns, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves.
And when she isn't sitting with clients, there's a good chance you'll find her on her yoga mat or somewhere in Alaska's backcountry. 🏔️

If you've been looking for a therapist who will meet you with curiosity rather than judgment, Lindsey may be someone you'd like to meet.

You don't need to fit yourself into a particular kind of therapy. Therapy should make room for all of you.

🌿 Common Thread Counseling is growing—and we’re excited about what that means for our community.

Please join us in welcoming three new clinicians to our team:

💜 Lindsey Wilson, MSW,
💜 Jennifer O’Neal, LCSW
💜 Tika Chamlagai, LCSW

Growing our team isn't simply about having more therapists.
It means more opportunities to find someone you connect with. More appointment options. More perspectives and areas of expertise. And more ways to access support when you’re ready for it.

Our clinicians work with teens ages 13+ and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, burnout, major life transitions, and those times when you may not have a name for what’s wrong—you simply know something needs to change.
And because we know healing isn't one-size-fits-all, our team brings experience in approaches including Brainspotting, EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, somatic processing, mindfulness-based therapies, and more.

We also know that finding a therapist is only helpful if you can actually fit therapy into your life.

🌙 Evening appointments available
☀️ Weekend availability
🧠 Trauma-focused care including Brainspotting & EMDR
💳 Premera BCBS, Aetna, Meritain & EBMS accepted
🌿 Reduced-rate options available

Over the next several days, we’ll introduce you to Lindsey, Jennifer, and Tika individually so you can get a better sense of who they are, how they work, and who might feel like the right fit for you.

You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

We can start with where you are.
📞 (907) 444-4066

More therapists doesn't just mean more availability. It means a better opportunity to find the person who feels right for you.

There can be a strange pressure after clinical training to feel like we should just know how to use everything we learned.
But competence doesn’t grow from never hesitating.

It grows through practice, curiosity, questions, consultation, and returning to the foundations when we need them.
If you’ve completed Brainspotting training but find yourself hesitating to use it—or wondering whether you’ve gotten too rusty—the Brainspotting Reboot Workshop was created with you in mind.

This is a space to refresh, reconnect, practice, and remember why this approach caught your attention in the first place.

No expectation that you should already have it all figured out.

Just an opportunity to come back to the work.
October 3, 2026 | Hybrid: Anchorage + Zoom

Training gave you the foundation. Reboot helps you reconnect with it.
