Hi, I’m Riley Hall. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Alaska that specializes in working with client’s suffering from anxiety. Many clients feel uneasy about starting therapy. They wonder if their issues are weird, or unique, or if they’ll know how to do therapy right. In therapy with me you will find an inviting space where you can tell your story and explore new approaches and tools for moving forward in life. In therapy, I offer you the fruits of my nerdiness about attachment research, interpersonal dynamics and personal growth. I also offer a sense of camaraderie as a fellow traveler who has also grappled with anxiety and used it as fuel for a more meaningful life. If you want to talk over what it would be like to work together, go ahead and click the link below and schedule a free consultation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b280fcb436a2291ec39596/7b0ef49d-137e-49f8-b387-ac0373a21696/2BA98301-E022-49ED-A194-F4371F2C0FE5.jpg About - I am married to the love of my life and together we have 4 children. We live on a small homestead in Haines Alaska. I am a life-long Northerner and have lived most of my life in Northern Canada and Alaska. For fun, I enjoy being outdoors, working on my homestead, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking or kayaking with my family. I am also an avid reader and enjoy my rainy days in a comfy chair by the wood stove with a cup of tea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b280fcb436a2291ec39596/5efc0275-bc40-4f38-a91f-9dad3122f42a/candace+and+girls+picture.jpg https://www.borealtherapist.com/insurance-and-rates daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://www.borealtherapist.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-09 https://www.borealtherapist.com/general-1 daily 0.75 2025-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b280fcb436a2291ec39596/1622941854838-TYGXK57RX0F79JOP9FCN/Juneau%2C+March+2010+019.jpg My Services Resolving Anxiety It can be really difficult to reach out for help to start the counseling process. A lot of people feel overwhelmed by the amount of options out there as they try to choose a therapist. Others feel embarrassed by the sense that going to counseling means that they’re weird or broken in some way. Let us reassure you on the front end that the opposite tends to be true: Some of the healthiest and most resilient people we have met are people that we have worked with in counseling. Our approach to counseling is collaborative meaning that in therapy, we work together to structure our sessions to best meet your needs and help you to meet your goals. There are a lot of studies that have been done regarding what approaches to counseling work best and there are about as many different approaches out there as there are counselors. What the research has found most consistently is that the best outcomes are achieved when the counselor and client are able to establish a connection where the client feels heard, understood and respected. To honor this research, we utilize an evidence based practice known as “Feedback Informed Therapy” so that as we work together we can monitor your progress and our connection each session to keep us on track and on the same page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b280fcb436a2291ec39596/1622942044498-IVPVWQK9RKQM87TX9YLP/Caribou+Hunt%2C+Haul+Road%2C+September+2007+085.jpg My Services Other areas of Focus While our primary focus is in working with individuals addressing anxiety we also have experience in helping individuals address the other following categories.

Mindfulness is a pan-diagnostic coping skill (aka, it’s helpful for everything). Learning to be mindful can help us to become more aware of problematic thought patterns while simultaneously strengthening our ability to redirect our attention back to the present. It has been incorporated into many evidence based practices for anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, ADHD, OCD and it’s evidence base continues to grow. By practicing mindfulness regularly, you can actually start to reshape the way your brain is wired. We have posted a few exercises (with hopefully more to follow) to help you get started on your journey. Feel free to use or share these exercises to promote wellness in your life.
