My name is Jami Guinn-Osborne and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Sitka, Alaska with over 20 years experience.

I think real-life experience deeply infuses any therapist’s work. I’ve personally known the pressures of financial stress, divorce, moves, being away from family, office politics, career change, not to mention the stress and uncertainty that the current political climate brings forth. I’m a wife and mother – I know both the joys and challenges of marriage and parenting.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in jobs as varied as a grader in a plywood mill, an Army Linguist, a journalist and a video editor to name a few. I loved every one of these jobs and I know each of them have contributed to my outlook on life and purpose.

I see my current career as an amalgamation of my past life experience, education and curiosity to find the uniqueness in everyone.

Therapy is a relationship built on trust. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the environment of safety; I aim to maintain this, above all. Therapy with me never involves judgment. Clients can trust that I will be honest, and maintain boundaries and confidentiality.

My professional work is supported by continued learning and ongoing development to ensure the care I provide remains thoughtful, ethical, effective and up to date.

I use an integrative approach that allows therapy to be adapted to your individual needs. Depending on your goals and concerns, our work may include a combination of the following methods:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Gottman Method informed relationship work
• Humanistic therapy approaches
• Narrative therapy
• Existential therapy perspectives

This flexibility allows therapy to remain responsive and relevant to the challenges you are facing.

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of personal and relational concerns, including:

• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Depression and emotional overwhelm
• Relationship and communication issues
• Divorce and co parenting challenges
• Parenting concerns
• Grief
• Life transitions and identity development
• Work and career related stress
• Self esteem and personal growth
• Burnout prevention
• Support for military members and first responders
• Spiritual questions and meaning in life
• Experiencers

Each person’s situation is unique, and therapy provides space to explore these experiences in a thoughtful and supportive way.

If you are ready to begin therapy or would like to explore whether counseling is a good fit, I welcome you to reach out.
