About Dr. Rast

I have spent most of my life in Alaska and am happy to call it home. After receiving my Ph.D. in Clinical-Community Psychology from UAF, I worked for the University of Alaska - Fairbanks and the Department of Defense before venturing out into my own practice. I typically work with adults (18+) facing a wide spectrum of challenges and aid them on their path to overcoming these no matter how small or large. This includes significant life transitions, existential concerns, adjustment issues, grief, anxiety concerns, depressive concerns, and relational issues.

No, I do not conduct assessments, evaluations, court ordered therapy nor do I consult for legal proceedings. Please speak with your primary care provider to find a resource for these services.
