I’m Karen Tessandore, a Licensed Professional Therapist (LPC), in Anchorage, Alaska.

What will I find here?

As a therapist, I bring far more into each session than my formal training. My work is influenced by my lived experience & world view. This is a look at what's on my mind, what's up in my life, and what shapes my perspective.

Some things will be obviously related to my work as a therapist, some not. But everything I interact with has a way of showing up in my therapy conversations.

Why should I follow you?

Oh gosh, probably don’t! haha. I’m not advertising this site and am thinking of it as a place I can write pretty informally. This may be a runway for me to develop ideas that will become full blog posts for my practice, book sections, or other paid offerings at some point. I just wanted a place to think aloud and have to press “publish” as a way to know when I’m done for the day.
