Alpenglow Behavioral Health offers something different: in-person care with a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist who knows the community. Dr. Spencer Augustin responds to patient emails the same day when possible and is available by phone, because accessibility matters when you’re trying to make sense of what you’re feeling.

Alpenglow Behavioral Health FAQs
What does an Anchorage psychiatrist do?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and managing mental health conditions. At Alpenglow Behavioral Health, Dr. Spencer Augustin provides psychiatric evaluations, diagnostic clarity, and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults.
How is psychiatry different from therapy or counseling?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists and counselors focus on talk-based treatment. If you’re not sure where to start, a psychiatric evaluation can help clarify the picture.
What conditions do you evaluate and manage?
Our Anchorage practice works with patients experiencing ADHD, OCD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, and a range of other mental health concerns. Every patient starts with a thorough evaluation so we can understand what’s actually going on before recommending a treatment plan.
Do you offer in-person appointments or only telehealth?
Alpenglow Behavioral Health offers both in-person and telehealth appointments. We’re based in Anchorage and generally prefer seeing patients face-to-face when possible, since it supports thorough evaluations and stronger continuity of care, particularly for children and adolescents. That said, we know telehealth is the only realistic option for many Alaskans in more remote parts of the state, and we’re glad to offer it where it fits.
