Yes — we're licensed in Alaska
Shumeka Hill, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, CPNP-AC, LCDC II, holds licensure in Alaska. You'll need to be physically located in Alaska during your appointment, which is a requirement for every telehealth provider, not just this one.
Getting care in Alaska
Alaska's geography makes in-person psychiatric care impractical for many residents, with some communities not connected by road at all. Telehealth is often the only realistic option.
We see patients across Alaska by video — including Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Wasilla, Sitka and Ketchikan, and every community in between. Because care is delivered remotely, where you live in Alaska makes no difference to whether you can be seen.
What we treat
- Depression and persistent low mood
- Anxiety, panic and health anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- Bipolar disorder
- Sleep problems and insomnia
- Grief, burnout and life transitions
Therapy and medication in one place
Most people who need both end up with a therapist who cannot prescribe and a prescriber who has fifteen minutes and no context. The two rarely talk.
Here, therapy and medication management are available from the same board-certified psychiatric provider. If something is not working, that is one conversation.
Other care available in Alaska
One provider, so these are handled together rather than referred out.
