Modalities and training: Art therapy
Insurance and payment details: Preferred provider for Premera Blue Cross, Aetna and many EAP programs; Self-pay available. Dorolyn bills insurance directly: Tricare, Aetna, BlueCross.
Other comments: Evening hours available. Dorolyn is a registered and board certified art therapist. When words alone are not enough, there is art. Art therapy is a form of counseling that uses art making within the therapeutic relationship to help provide insight and find new ways to solve problems. Many times, therapeutic art making can help resolve problems quicker by uncovering core issues and their accompanying solutions. People who are hesitant to talk or people who are highly verbally defended may benefit from participation in art therapy. Art therapy can be an enjoyable way to participate in counseling. Using art making within family therapy can give all participants a voice.
As of April 2021, I will be a facilitator of Trauma Center-Trauma Sensitive Yoga which is an adjunctive treatment for complex trauma. This will be available as an additional part of the psychotherapy sessions.
Currently offering telehealth sessions or in-person, socially distant sessions.

Sarah Shaddy-Farnsworth (She/Her), LCSW
Accepting new clients?
Serves: Adults; Teens; Children 0-12
Specialties: Anxiety; Depression; Trauma and abuse; Grief; Child-parent attachment; Life transitions.
Specializes in serving Veterans? No
Offers substance use recovery services? No
Modalities and training:
I practice from a relational and psychodynamic orientation but treatment is collaborative and often includes cognitive, mindfulness-based, and play therapy approaches as the therapeutic environment is co-constructed. I draw upon my training in trauma, attachment, and reflective practice, to encourage subjective creation of meaning, improved interpersonal relationships, and self-understanding. I offer techniques to manage flooding emotions and improve self-regulation. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, child-parent attachment, and life transitions.
My training includes Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Therapy (S.M.A.R.T), the Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC) Framework, as well as several cognitive behavioral models for addressing trauma reactions in adults and children. I have trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (2019-2021) and am completing final requirements to apply for rostering as a CPP therapist.
Insurance and payment details: Aetna/EBMS, Blue Cross Blue Shield/Premera, TriCare
Comments: My theoretical approach is grounded in relational psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and training in reflective practice. The most central idea in my work is that we are each uniquely shaped by social interactions beginning in early childhood and continuing throughout life. These interactions and experiences help to shape our neurobiology, how we see ourselves, and our relationship to others and the world. A safe exploratory relationship is central to my approach to psychotherapy, allowing you to improve nervous system regulation and express thoughts and feelings you have trouble expressing elsewhere, including thoughts and feelings you’ve struggled to allow yourself to fully know. Through deeper awareness and understanding of our internal processes-including somatic experiences and sensations-and emotional life we can experience a greater range of options for responding to challenges and freedom from patterned relating that contributes to feeling stuck.

Specializes in serving Veterans? No
Offers substance use recovery services? Yes
Modalities and training: Welcome! My therapeutic approach is holistic, relational, and person-centered. I have spent several years working with young adults with substance use disorders on college campuses as well as working with adults in outpatient community mental health settings. I have experience in macro-level social work which informs my lens of seeing the interaction of systems that impact an individual. My specialties are in working with people who would like to explore their relationship with substances, people in recovery from substance use, individuals seeking purpose and meaning in their lives, as well as addressing depression, anxiety, and trauma from a social justice and empowerment lens. As a person with lived experience, I offer a unique perspective in the therapeutic relationship that normalizes experiencing life challenges as well as life successes. I am a proponent for mindfulness, pranayama, and spirituality on the healing journey and I hold those approaches while also advocating for self-defined recovery. I view therapy as walking beside someone on their recovery journey--whatever that may look like on each day. I am trained in EMDR and Y12SR, and have a working knowledge of other useful resources in Juneau.
Insurance and payment details: I currently do not bill insurance but I am happy to offer a superbill.
