Stacie Palatianos-Sifakis
If you've been feeling overwhelmed lately, you're not alone. Many people reach a point where stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges start affecting their daily life. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what's happening internally, and develop a healthier new way forward.
Healing is possible through shifting your mindset while prioritizing your self-care and honoring your needs and wants.I look forward to working with you!

First session
Our first appointment will be a great chance to get to know each other, and I will ask a series of questions to gather information about your reasons for seeking care, your history and background as well as your goals and expected outcome from treatment. Typically our first session will take 1 hour, and towards the end we will make a plan for future sessions.
Strengths
Together as we embark on your therapy journey, we will be creating a safe space to talk about your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the power of collaboration and invite you to share at your own pace. I use an integrative approach to our sessions, where we combine different modalities including Trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help you feel your best.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to assist clients in recognizing how thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and impact their daily lives.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
My clients enjoy adding mindfulness practices to our therapy sessions and implementing mindfulness in their daily lives.
Trauma Informed Care
By using a trauma-informed approach to care I help clients by inviting them to share, process and understand their experiences with trauma and how it can impact their overall wellbeing.

By using Solution-focused brief therapy techniques, we activate change through problem-solving. This can help you find clarity and choose to take actions aligned with your goals.
