My name is John Sundeen, and I reside in northern New Mexico. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Alaska, Florida, and New Mexico and have lived and worked in these areas as a mental health therapist for over 23 years (15 of those in Alaska while living in Seward and Big Lake).
I have a diverse mental health and substance abuse treatment background, with experience working in hospitals, private practice, corrections, and residential treatment centers. My approach to working with clients is first to identify and understand personal goals and values, then explore the difficulties that are interfering with living the values and attaining the goals. I use a personalized client-centered approach (paying attention to the client) and add other therapeutic styles and techniques to align with the client's needs and readiness to change. I have helped people who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, substance abuse, psychosis, and other challenges.
