Sitka Counseling

Sitka Counseling Our primary purpose is to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of mental illness and substance use in the lives of youth, adults, and families.

We do this by providing caring, professional, therapeutic, and preventative services. Sitka Counseling prevents and reduces the harmful effects of mental illness and substance abuse in the lives of youth, adults, and families. We provide caring, professional, therapeutic, and preventative services. We are a 501c3 non-profit corporation.

We serve the geographical area encompassing Sitka, Baranof

Island, and Yakutat. We also accept referrals from across the State of Alaska for the adult residential program, Aurora’s Watch.

Behavioral health issues affect citizens in all socio-economic and racial backgrounds, but tend to produce more devastating effects in the lives of individuals on the lower socio-economic end of the spectrum and in the racial minority. Historically, the majority of our service population consists of low-income and/or minority residents who encounter significant barriers to treatment.

We don’t claim any religious affiliation. We serve those of all faiths, as well as agnostics. We endeavor to promote a spiritual component in recovery of the individual’s own choosing and encourage each individual to explore their own spiritual beliefs as a part of our holistic approach to treatment and recovery.

Thank you to the Sitka Emblem Club #142 for free ice cream cones to the kids in our program!

In honor of July Drug Awareness Month, the Sitka Emblem Club #142 generously donated free ice cream for youth in our community. What may seem like a simple treat is so much more. It creates opportunities for connection, celebrates healthy choices, and reminds our young people that they are supported by a community that cares.

Partnerships like these help us create positive experiences that strengthen protective factors, encourage substance-free activities, and build a sense of belonging.

Thank you for helping make Sitka a place where every young person feels valued, connected, and empowered to thrive. Together, we are building a healthier future for our community, one scoop at a time. 🍦✨
