IT’S AS SIMPLE AS A-B-C A. If you have your prescription with you, go to the ordering window to the left of the pick-up counter. B. If you want to consult the pharmacist, first go to the privacy consultation window on the right side of the pick-up counter and around the corner of the pharmacy department. C. Ask when ordering how long it will take to fill your prescription. It usually will have been verified with your physician or refilled and be waiting for you. IT ALWAYS IS A PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU AS SPEEDILY AND ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE.

PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS DR. ALEXANDRA GAYEK, N.D. A licensed primary care physician since 1997, Naturopath Dr. Alexandra Gayek works primarily with adults with chronic and recurring problems including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neuro-immune-endocrine, musculoskeletal, skin, breathing, weight loss, stress, fatigue, toxicity, pain, ADD, and anxiety. Dr. Gayek offers standard and alternative testing, counseling, guidance with food, nutritional and herbal supplements, hormones, homeopathic remedies, and nature cure. Dr. Gayek also works online and by phone, coaching people worldwide with an intuitive, empowering mind-body approach to wellness. For those open to this approach, problems in any system in the body—whether from illness or injury– often improve in ways unexplainable by standard medicine. Results are often swift and longer-lasting, and allow you to drop your reliance on expensive and painful lab tests, medication, and surgery, if you choose. The process is as quick or gradual as your readiness for wellness allows, and complements all other therapies. CALL for a FREE 15-minute telephone consultation. 6866 Olga Road, PO Box 522, Olga (360) 376-5454

PSYCHOTHERAPY RACHEL NEWCOMBE, L.I.C.S.W. I am a psychoanalytically trained therapist working with individuals and couples looking to understand why they are having difficulties in their lives. I provide individual and group supervision for therapists who are seeking licensure, as well as for therapists who are already licensed. There are aspects of our minds that remain unconscious yet they have an enormous influence on the choices we make. Talking openly in therapy is an effective way of understanding how your choices and behaviors are influenced by thoughts that are not yet conscious. In our work together I will help you listen more attentively to your own thoughts and associations in order to expand your awareness, allowing you to see new options in your life. I believe the intimacy of the therapeutic process allows individuals to have a rich relationship with their internal life and with others. Eastsound and Friday Harbor (360) 376-5883

SASHEEM SILKISS-HERO, MA, LMFTA I believe psychotherapy is profound work; a collaborative process between client and therapist and a uniquely intentional relationship. As a Marriage & Family Therapist Associate who has practiced in WA and CA, I have ongoing experience with clients overcoming depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relational distress, autistic traits, creative blocks, and maladaptive behaviors. I welcome work with adults seeking to engage in insight-oriented therapy to pursue a more fulfilling life, and I am able to work with youth in an experiential manner, and with families. My orientation is psychodynamic and relational, and very much informed by contemporary scientific findings in interpersonal neurobiology which support psychotherapy fostering healthy attachment and honoring the mind-body connection. I completed a Spiritual & Depth Psychology certificate with a particular emphasis on mindfulness, Jungian concepts, and multiculturalism at Antioch L. A. and interned under Intersubjective and Jungian psychoanalysts at The Maple Counseling Center in Beverly Hills, CA, a psychodynamic community mental health center. I trained in Gestalt & Play Therapy for Children with the Violet Solomon Oaklander Foundation members and am a graduate of Lopez H.S., Vassar College and Antioch University. I look forward to hearing about your needs and interest in therapy.
