LCSW, 25 years of experience
Welcome! Finding the right fit in a therapist is important and hopefully I can give you some information to make a better-informed decision. I have a master's degree in Art Therapy from Drexel University as well as my Master's in Social Work from West Chester University of Pennsylvania. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Addictions Counselor (CADC) in Pennsylvania. I have over twenty years of experience as a therapist and clinical educator that I would like to share with you. I am currently available to meet with individuals 18 and over who reside in Pennsylvania and are looking for virtual therapy only (meeting via Doxy.me). No in person sessions available at this time. Couples and family therapy are currently not available.
During our first session we will complete a Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment.
I practice from a trauma informed lens and believe that creating a safe, supported, and comfortable environment is the needed foundation to support all other work in therapy. I utilize concept from evidence based practices like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Motivational Enhancement (MI). My job is not to fix you or tell you how to live, you are the expert on you. We work together to get curious about why you are using your current coping strategies and then offer you different options to explore to see if you feel better when using them.
I feel my strength as a therapist is that I accept you as you are. I know from working with so many people over the last 20 plus years that there are wonderful things that make each human unique. I also know we have a lot in common that lead us to similar places of emotional pain and discontent with our lives. I would love for everyone to have a welcoming, safe accepting space to work through those tough places. I hope we will get a chance to get curious together about how to help you feel better. I can often see patterns in behavior that are hard for people to see on their own. Once we can make these patterns conscious you have the choice to change them. Through our work together you can learn skills to support the life you want to be living.
I love working with college students or folks going through life transitions. I specialize in working with individuals with trauma.

I am disappointed I can't select more than two options to describe Stacy and my relationship with her. All apply: intelligent, empowering, humorous, holistic, direct (when she needs to me), open-minded, solution oriented (while honoring the process), authentic, challenging (in a good, accepting way), and absolutely warm. She is a gem among gems and I am grateful.
