Amanda strives to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where clients can explore their identities, experiences, challenges, and hopes at their own pace. Whether someone is navigating difficult circumstances, advocating for themselves, or working toward meaningful change, Amanda is honored to walk alongside her clients, helping them recognize their strengths and find a path forward that feels right for them.

Amanda has experience spanning substance use treatment, trauma recovery, and suicide prevention. Her background includes work at KIC Behavioral Health and as a Certified School Social Worker with the Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District, where she provided individualized student support and developed lasting protocols now used district-wide. She is excited to bring this breadth of experience back to Be Well Counseling, offering flexible, compassionate, and individualized therapeutic approaches.

Outside of her work, Amanda's home is happily populated by two parrots, two dogs, and a cat — her beloved "furmily." She and her partner enjoy spending time with their animals, hosting weekly board game nights, and playing Pathfinder 2E with friends. She believes that connection, laughter, creativity, and acknowledging that "normal" is just a buzzword create a balanced life.

Rooted in play therapy and guided by cultural sensitivity, she creates a safe, engaging space for kids and teens to express themselves, build coping skills, and heal in ways that feel natural and empowering. Kayley specializes in supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and Autism, as well as families navigating trauma, crisis, and major life transitions. She also provides parent coaching and support to help caregivers understand behaviors, strengthen connection, and create consistent, compassionate strategies at home.

Kayley holds a degree from The Ohio State University and has extensive experience in pediatric mental health across non-profit, community, home, and school-based settings. She integrates evidence-based practices with developmentally appropriate interventions, aligning treatment with each client’s strengths, needs, and sensory profile. She provides play therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy designed to improve emotional regulation, social communication, executive functioning, resilience, and family cohesion.

Clare believes that therapy should feel engaging and individualized to the person in front of her.

Depending on each client’s needs, therapy may focus on building emotional awareness and regulation, developing coping skills, managing anxiety and stress, strengthening relationships and communication, increasing confidence, navigating life transitions, or finding healthier ways to respond to difficult situations. When working with younger clients, Clare incorporates play, creativity, movement, and developmentally appropriate activities to make therapy engaging and accessible. She values collaboration with parents and caregivers and helps families better understand the needs behind a child’s behavior while developing supportive, realistic strategies that can carry over into home and school. 

Clare earned her Master of Social Work from Northern Kentucky University and is a Licensed Social Worker in Ohio, with extensive experience providing mental health services to children and families in school-based settings. She uses her experience working within school systems to help families advocate for their child’s unique needs.

They create a space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported, using approaches like EMDR, meaning-centered therapy, and strengths-based techniques to promote genuine healing and lasting resilience.

Currently completing a PsyD in Counseling Psychology through Alaska Pacific University, Pua is licensed in Alaska and Virginia. They bring a person-centered, holistic approach to their sessions. They believe therapy is not only about addressing pain but also about honoring each person’s story, recognizing their strength, and helping them reclaim a sense of peace and purpose.

Outside of their professional work, Pua values time with community and family, connection to nature, and practices that bring balance and meaning to daily life.

She believes no one should have to face those moments alone. Her approach is humanistic and client-centered, creating a safe, supportive space for clients to explore their stories and build resilience.

She earned her Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Alaska Pacific University and works under the supervision of Dr. Brittany Pope, LPC-S, as she completes her licensure.

Outside the therapy room, Morgan finds comfort in quiet moments with her family in Eagle River — and in timeless words that remind her of connection and hope:

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller
