Stacey Frentz, MSW
Hi there, I’m Stacey, and I’m here to help. Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to feel more connected in your relationships? Are events from the past making it hard for you to enjoy the present?
The nerve that connects the brain to your vital organs sends automatic signals based on previous experiences or perceived threats, in an attempt to protect you from injury or danger.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps individuals, couples, and families* find healthy coping strategies, balance, and fulfillment through empowerment, skill building, and somatic and mindfulness techniques. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. We will work together using evidence-based techniques, including trauma-informed approaches and Gottman Method Couples Therapy, to focus on a mind and body connection to help you feel safe, supported, and balanced. I look forward to teaching you new skills and strategies to help you find a sense of control over your body and a more balanced sense of well-being in your life. *Please be aware that I accept insurance for Individual Therapy sessions only. Couples Therapy or Family Therapy sessions are self-pay only but I will provide monthly superbills for insurance reimbursement. The cash-pay rate listed on Grow reflects Individual Therapy sessions only. Please contact me regarding Couples or Family Therapy pricing at: stacey@staceyfrentzlcsw. com
First session
Our first session together will focus on me understanding the issues or concerns that have made you want to begin therapy sessions. This session will be the foundation of our building a personalized treatment plan to best manage your concerns and fortify your skills and resources.
Strengths
Feeling safe and connected can have a positive transformative power over your well-being, whether it be feeling safe in your environment, your relationship, or your own body. I will teach you the scientific connection between your brain and your body, and how your life experiences and emotions play a role in how you might react when your feelings of safety and security are challenged. The nerve that connects the brain to your vital organs sends automatic signals based on previous experiences or perceived threats, in an attempt to protect you from injury or danger. Sometimes these responses can become so strong they negatively impact you or even become debilitating. The silver lining is that we have simple, effective techniques to better manage this nerve that may be controlling your life.
