Anxiety can feel like a storm you can’t escape, but it’s manageable with the right tools. Stacey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify triggers—like racing thoughts or physical sensations—and develop practical calming strategies. These might include deep breathing exercises, grounding techniques (like the 5-4-3-2-1 method), or mindfulness to stay present. For panic attacks, quick interventions can help you regain control in the moment, reducing their intensity and frequency over time.
Trauma can leave echoes that disrupt your life, but healing is possible. Stacey specializes in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which use guided eye movements or visualization to process painful memories safely. These methods reduce the emotional weight of past events, helping you feel less stuck without needing to relive every detail. She tailors each session to your comfort level, ensuring a gentle path forward.
Relationships—whether with a partner, family, or friends—thrive on connection, but conflict can erode that bond. Stacey uses Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to teach emotional regulation and effective communication skills. You’ll work together to rebuild trust, resolve disputes, or set healthy boundaries, all with a focus on empathy and understanding. She’ll help you navigate the tough conversations and rediscover what brings you closer.
Depression can dim your world, making even small tasks feel impossible. Stacey combines CBT to challenge negative thought patterns—like “I’m not good enough”—with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to focus on meaningful actions that align with your values. Together, you’ll build personalized strategies to lift your mood, restore energy, and find hope, step by manageable step.
Living with chronic pain or illness often brings emotional exhaustion alongside the physical toll. Stacey uses Observed Experiential Integration (OEI) and creative therapies—like drawing or sand tray work—to address the mental strain. These approaches help you process feelings of loss or frustration, offering relief and new ways to cope with the challenges of your condition.
Grief is a deeply personal journey, and there’s no “right” way to feel. As a certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Shelley guides you through a structured process to honor your loss, express unvoiced emotions, and find closure where possible. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a major life change, or an intangible loss, she’ll support you in navigating the pain with compassion and patience.
Your identity is yours to define, and Stacey offers a safe, affirming space to explore it. Whether you’re grappling with self-acceptance, family reactions, or societal pressures, she tailors her approach—drawing on CBT, ACT, or creative methods—to your unique story. This is about supporting you as you are, with respect and understanding for every part of your journey.
Low self-esteem can keep you from living fully. Stacey uses CBT to challenge harsh self-judgments and creative exercises—like journaling or art—to uncover your strengths. Together, you’ll build a stronger sense of self-worth through small, empowering steps, helping you stand taller in your own life.
Breaking free from addiction takes strength, and Stacey’s there to help you find it. Using DBT and motivational interviewing, she’ll guide you through managing cravings, understanding triggers, and addressing the root causes—whether it’s stress, trauma, or something else. This is a structured, compassionate path to reclaiming control and rebuilding your future.
Stress and burnout can leave you running on empty. Stacey uses ACT to help you accept what you can’t change while focusing on what matters most, paired with mindfulness practices like guided relaxation. You’ll identify stressors, set boundaries, and create sustainable habits to restore your energy and rediscover balance.
