Dr. Heather Cromwell

Therapist

Virtual • Alaska


I’m Dr. Heather Cromwell, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy to adults in Alaska and Oregon. I have over 10 years of experience working in behavioral health across outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings, including extensive work with individuals experiencing serious and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

My background includes a Ph.D. and Master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, along with years of leadership and program development experience in behavioral healthcare. I bring both clinical expertise and a practical, person-centered approach to therapy.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and emotionally safe. My style is warm, collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in authenticity. I work to create a space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process feel approachable and comfortable from the very beginning.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Anchorage

Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Anchorage starts with finding care that is affirming, specific, and aligned with what you want to work on. An LGBTQ friendly therapist in Anchorage may support concerns related to identity, gender identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in Anchorage, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches your needs.

Anchorage has a meaningful mental health care community, but LGBTQ affirming therapists in Anchorage may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping care local to Alaska. In addition to specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their background, identity, or approach matters to you. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ populations, including therapy for gender identity in Anchorage, LGBTQ counseling in Anchorage, or LGBTQ couples counseling.

Therapy in Anchorage can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check virtual and in-person availability, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to meet.
