Stacey Dewan

I'm a Mental Health Counselor, Limited Permit (MHC-LP), specializing in cultural diversity issues, relationship struggles, stress management, adjustment disorders, and substance use for teenagers, young adults, adults, seniors, and individuals of all kinds. My goal is to create a safe, comforting, and trusting environment so you can discover and learn coping skills that help with life's everyday pressures. These skills draw on your mind, body, and spirit to support your overall well-being.

We all come from different walks of life, and we can all use a little guidance. I believe in treating you fairly, being honest, offering forgiveness, and creating room for you to be exactly who you are, without judgment.

Forming a respectful counselor-patient relationship is important to me, especially when addressing diverse, complex, and cultural issues, because it creates a space where you can fully express yourself, find insight, and experience personal growth.

Creating healthy boundaries and having a structured routine can support long-term, meaningful growth. Starting your day on a good note matters: taking a few minutes each morning to do something you love, whether that's reading, praying, or spending time with family, can help keep you motivated throughout the day.

Everyday circumstances will always come up, and learning how to grow positive thoughts can help you work through daily struggles, past trauma, and resentments. Similarly, understanding how to use your coping skills allows you to respond, rather than react, in ways that lead to a more positive outcome.

My path to becoming a therapist began with understanding my own needs as a person and finding meaning and purpose in my daily life, along with a deep belief in self-love, self-compassion, and self-worth. That same spirit of laughter, self-exploration, and commitment to consistency is what I bring to helping you find your own meaning and build lasting self-care routines.

I love writing and reading, and cherish time spent with my family and my dog, Cloe. Finding clarity at the beach is one of my favorite ways to reset. I also value time to myself, and sometimes my favorite hobby is simply doing nothing at all.
