Tom McCabe, MA, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Juneau AK
My strength is connecting with people and helping them change their lives. Often deep listening from a caring, trusted person is enough for you to make new choices about your life. Once you are comfortable that I am listening to you and that I can accept you for who you are, I may suggest different ways to look at your situation. Sometimes I will suggest that you try something new in your life, such as an unfamiliar approach to communicating with others or a mindfulness practice. Counseling is that simple. The glue that holds this together is my willingness to be present with whatever you are experiencing, whether that's sharing sadness or recognizing the humor in life's chaos.
I grew up in northern southeast Alaska and, while I have lived elsewhere in the world, nowhere else feels like home. I've had many careers, including software engineering and teaching, but only counseling satisfies my urge for healing and growth in human connection.
