Stacy is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of experience and is dedicated to helping adolescents and adults flourish. Her approach goes beyond traditional therapy; she focuses on improving her clients' daily lives—whether at home, school, or work—while helping them cultivate a deep sense of internal peace and confidence.

Stacy's approach

Stacy is deeply committed to creating a therapeutic setting that is warm, comfortable, and nonjudgmental. She places great value on her relationships with her clients and works to engage them in a collaborative partnership that is truthful and accepting. When working with adolescents, Stacy strongly believes that it is important to work collaboratively with parents and other caregivers, welcoming feedback as often as possible. She also believes that if there are school-based issues, it is necessary to collaborate with the child's or adolescent's school.

Throughout the course of treatment, you are likely to touch on issues related to mood, behavior, coping strategies, and life skills, ultimately enhancing your ability to create and sustain healthy and fulfilling relationships. From the first session, you will be treated warmly, attentively, and respectfully. Stacy is dedicated to helping her clients achieve outcomes that are both rewarding and enduring. Your therapy plan will be tailored individually to reflect your values, needs, interests, and natural strengths and will be a collaborative effort between therapist and client.
