Our Team
Dr. Lan Niecko
As a counseling psychologist, my educational background, training, and experience (including the last nine years in community behavioral health) in whole person health has set me a unique path that has culminated in beginning this practice. Those who want to establish a body, mind, and heart connection will benefit most by working with me. I am well versed in treating various types and spectrums of trauma and dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, attentional problems, addiction, spiritual/religious issues, and relationship and family conflict. Ultimately, this has allowed me to create a dynamic therapeutic toolbox that can be personally designed around your needs and goals.
​
I am a certified Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) counselor and an EMDR consultant in training (CIT). EMDR is an evidence-based treatment for a variety of disorders. I am currently being trained in administering EMDR intensives and have plans to increasingly roll this out in the future. If this interests you, please relay that to me in your communications. Additionally, I am certified in complex trauma and dissociative disorders through the International Society for the Study of Trauma & Dissociation (ISST-D) as well as a certified Heart Math (biofeedback) practitioner. I also work as an adjunct professor in behavioral sciences at the University of Alaska Southeast. When he's not working, Ian enjoys running, cross-training, and hiking the beautiful trails in Juneau. In a more calmed down state, he enjoys some of the finer things in life like good tea and coffee and diving in a good book (kindle or paper). He is a "certified cat dad" (3 cats!) who also enjoys being silly and hanging out with his wife.
