Dr. William McVey

I'm a licensed therapist and one of the few clinicians in Alaska with a PhD in

Clinical Sexology — which means I'm trained to hold the full range of human

intimacy, identity, and relationships without judgment. I specialize in

working with LGBTQ+ individuals, couples navigating non-traditional

relationship structures (poly, ENM, kink-affirming care), people in or

connected to the military, and anyone dealing with trauma, addiction,

anxiety, or depression. I've been doing this work since 2013, and I've found

that the clients who come to me are often the ones who've struggled to find

someone who truly gets where they're coming from. I'm not here to

normalize you — you're already whole. I'm here to help you move forward.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, meaning I pull from what actually works for you rather than fitting you into a single method. I use EMDR for trauma processing, cognitive-based strategies when patterns of

thinking are getting in the way, and a sex-positive, client-centered lens throughout. You set the direction — I help you see what's already there and figure out how to move through it. I don't believe therapy needs to feel heavy all the time. We'll find what works for your pace, your goals, and your life as it actually is.

going on for you, what's brought you here, and what you're hoping to get out of our time together. There's no pressure to share everything at once — we go at your pace. By the end of our first meeting, you'll have a clearer sense of whether we're a good fit and what a realistic path forward might look like. Sessions are conducted via telehealth, so you can join from wherever you are in Alaska. All I ask is that you show up honestly — the rest we'll figure out together.
