Dr. Hannah Ekstrom, Psy.D., Director, Supervisor
Hello! I'm Dr. Ekstrom (she/her), and I joined the University of Alaska Anchorage’s psychology faculty in 2021 as a Term Assistant Professor of Psychology and the Director of the Psychological Services Center (PSC) after working in community mental health and integrated behavioral healthcare settings in both clinical and administrative positions. Outside of the university, I serve as the Ethics Committee Chair and Early Career Psychologist for the Alaska Psychological Association where I work with our mental health providers to support a community of ethical practice, advocate for psychology in Alaska, and offer ethics consultations. As a faculty member, I get to focus on clinical training and clinical supervision for our graduate students. In my role as a clinical supervisor, I support each student exploring their emerging professional identity as a behavioral health provider. Using primarily a competency development model, we work together to develop foundational clinical and professional skills. I earned my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Alaska Pacific University and Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology and Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from the University of Alaska Anchorage. In my work as an educator, psychologist, supervisor, and director my areas of interest include health equity, interprofessional and multidisciplinary practice, trauma informed care, program development and evaluation, and working with vulnerable and underserved populations.

As a clinical supervisor, I seek to foster student’s professional development through competency-based supervision.

Caleb, Student Clinician
My name is Caleb Gorda (He/Him), and I am a second-year student in the M.S. in Clinical
Psychology program at UAA and a student clinician at the PSC, supervised by Dr. Kevin
Tarlow. I was born and raised in Fairbanks Alaska and received my bachelor’s degree
in psychology from Washington State University before returning to Alaska to further
my studies in psychology. I have experience working in education with incarcerated
populations, substance use rehabilitation, and in recreational therapy.
Alaskans face several unique challenges when it comes to mental health care including
long winters, lack of access to resources and isolation. I am a firm believer in building
a personal community and asking for help when you need it. I strive to help my clients
build and maintain healthy relationships as well as find stability and comfort in
their own internal experiences.
Camille, Student Clinician
I am a second-year PhD student in the Clinical-Community Psychology Program. Becoming a therapist is a second career for me, I was an educator in Southeast Alaska for over 25 years. I served as a teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent in public schools as well as acting as an education consultant specializing in community-level interventions. My clinical interests include working with people with anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, grief work, and addressing trauma. I’m currently researching Indigenous healing integrated with Western approaches in a framework called Two-Eyed Seeing. I’m also a proud matriarch of a growing family which is where I spend all my free time.

Abby, Student Clinician
My clinical focus is on assisting those with ADHD and Autism in finding ways to manage their symptoms that allow them to live their fullest lives. Often this means working through how these diagnoses contribute to anxiety, depression, struggles in relationships, or other difficulties that may become an ongoing source of distress. I believe that everyone needs help up sometimes and am honored to be able to reach out my hand. My professional history includes working as a social worker here in Anchorage, AK, and working in Information Technology (where I learned much about computers and people alike). When not typing away or working with clients, I’m often playing competitively with UAA Esports, Dungeon Mastering a game of Dungeons and Dragons, or reading a Brandon Sanderson book – or whatever novel my sister recently recommended me!
Mark, Student Clinician
Hello, I am a second-year student at UAA working towards a master’s degree in clinical psychology. Prior to returning to school, I spent 20+ years coaching swimming. As a coach, I worked with all levels of athletes from beginners to Olympic champions and World Record holders. I was also lucky enough to spend 15 years as a stay-at-home dad.
My clinical interests include trauma, addiction, family, and group therapy. While it is not yet officially recognized by the diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association, I have a particular interest in processed food addiction.
On the personal side I enjoy swimming and currently participate in United States Masters Swimming. I also like tinkering with old Volkswagens, especially busses. When not swimming, tinkering, or studying, I am usually performing dad-taxi duties or attending a sporting event.
Kelley, LPC, MAC, Student-Clinician
Hi, welcome to the PSC! I’m Kelley (she/her) and I’m Unangax̂ and Sugpiaq and an enrolled member of Ninilchik Tribe. I am a doctoral student in the Clinical-Community Psychology program at UAA and am a student clinician supervised by Dr. Dulin. I am licensed as a professional counselor in the state of Alaska and a nationally credentialed substance use counselor with an M.S. in clinical mental health. My clinical area of expertise is in substance use disorders, however I enjoy working with adults during important life transitions, such as identity exploration, settling in at college, navigating the end of relationships, becoming a parent, career changes or retirement, and end of life care. As a therapist, I respect and honor all identities and enjoy helping clients understand their experiences within social and cultural contexts. As an Alaska Native person, I view clients holistically while also drawing heavily from a person-centered, feminist perspective. Other approaches I often use are behavioral-based therapies such as DBT, CBT and ACT.
Alyssa, Student Clinician
Hello! My name is Alyssa, and I am a second-year student in the M.S. Clinical Psychology program at UAA. I obtained my bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in Human Services at the State University of New York at Potsdam in 2022. In my professional career I have worked as Child/ Youth Advocate in a domestic violence shelter and became a certified Rape Crisis Counselor. My clinical interests include working with individuals struggling with anxiety and trauma related problems. My goal in therapy is to create a warm and comfortable environment to promote self-reflection, self-care, and mental health growth.

Peter, Student-Clinician, Clinic Coordinator
My name is Peter (he/his), and I am a doctoral student in UAA’s Clinical-Community Psychology program supervised by Dr. Dulin. I was born and raised in Fairbanks and earned my B.A. in Psychology and Business Administration from Western Colorado University. I have previously worked with adults and youth within the criminal justice system in rural Colorado and coached my alma mater’s ski/snowboard team for several years, both of which inspired me to pursue a career as a mental health professional.
I am incredibly grateful to return to Alaska for my graduate training and future career. I strongly believe that mental health care has been inaccessible and stigmatized for too long and for too many people. I am passionate about working with individuals of all identities across the lifespan who are experiencing a range of concerns, particularly those who might otherwise lack access to care. My priority is to create a warm, safe, collaborative, and person-centered therapy experience that is unique to each client, drawing from ACT, DBT, and CBT approaches.
In my free time I most enjoy being with loved ones as well as snowboarding, hiking, and running in the mountains.
