Counseling Center – Winding Path Counseling Center
Winding Path Counseling Center is operated by Heather Caldwell, MA, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree, from an office at 741 Sesame Street, Suite 1B, Anchorage, Alaska 99503. The practice serves clients in both Alaska and Colorado. Caldwell can be contacted by email at windingpathcounseling@gmail.com or by phone and text at 720-340-8389.
Caldwell offers individual counseling and group therapy. Sessions run 50 to 90 minutes and are scheduled weekly or biweekly depending on each client’s needs. A free 15 to 20 minute phone consultation is available to prospective clients before beginning formal appointments. The practice also runs a 12-week running group therapy program; a cohort launched September 29, 2025. Group therapy integrates movement with therapeutic conversation in a structured multi-week format.
Clinical specialties include trauma, PTSD, and Complex-PTSD; support for the LGBTQAI+ community; care for gender non-conforming and transitioning clients; concerns related to intimate and friendship relationships; anxiety, depression, and self-esteem; and chronic illness and chronic pain. The practice approaches each area with a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and explicitly anti-racist framework. Social justice-oriented perspectives are integrated across clinical work.
Therapeutic modalities employed by Caldwell include somatic psychotherapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, mindfulness tools, and interactive and collaborative techniques. Humor and play-inspired methods are also incorporated where appropriate to the therapeutic relationship. This range of body-based and evidence-informed approaches is applied flexibly depending on the presenting concern and client preferences.
Brainspotting is a relatively specialized modality that uses fixed eye positions to access and process trauma stored in the subcortical brain, and its inclusion alongside EMDR reflects a focus on body-based trauma processing. Somatic psychotherapy similarly attends to physical sensations as part of the therapeutic process, positioning the body as an active participant in healing rather than a secondary concern.
