John Uriarte

Alaska, Alaska - Clinical Social Worker/therapist
Online
In Person

My name is John Uriarte, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have been practicing clinical social work since 1987 when I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with my Master’s in Social Welfare. My approach to counseling is simple, I am here to listen and to help anyone who has the courage to ask for help. If you are letting the past dictate your future, then call me. Help is here. I am a 24 year veteran of the U.S. Army and retired as Lieutenant Colonel . I treated soldiers and their family members who were dealing with the stressors of military life. When the war in Iraq started, I continued my counseling of soldiers in the war zone and when I returned, I was helping family members learning how to cope and deal with the changes in their loved ones. As a civilian, I continued my work with the VA. There I continued my work in helping veterans and their family members. If you are a vet, lets talk. If not, lets talk anyway. I am very good with phase of life problems and making transitions, like going from a marriage to divorce, a mid life crisis, etc. Specialties: PTSD Depression Anxiety Clinical Hypnotherapy Stress Coping with life changes Self Esteem Compassion Fatigue Also experienced in: Grief, Intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, Anger management, Career difficulties, ADHD, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Attachment Issues, Caregiver Issues, Communication Problems, Control Issues, Coping with Natural or Human-Caused Disaster, Divorce and Separation, Emptiness, Guilt and Shame, Infidelity, Isolation/Loneliness, Jealousy, Midlife Crisis, Mood Disorders, Social Anxiety, Young Adult Issues.
