Akeela Family Outpatient Treatment Program

Akeela's Family Outpatient Treatment Program in Palmer, Alaska is a mental health treatment center serving children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in the Mat-Su Valley. Outpatient services include individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, couples counseling, and psychotherapy, with family support services available for households navigating mental health and recovery challenges. The program also addresses substance use disorder alongside general mental health needs for clients across the lifespan.

The Palmer program includes play therapy and drama therapy — expressive modalities particularly suited to children and adolescents who may engage more readily through creative and imaginative approaches than traditional talk therapy. Geriatric services extend the program's reach to older adults in the valley. The combination of expressive therapies, family-centered care, and multi-age treatment serves families in Palmer and the broader Mat-Su region.
