I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with over 30 years of experience. I have worked in private settings as well as educational settings. I have worked with clients with many different concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship issues, career changes, and ADHD. I have experience with adults, children and adolescents.
My therapy style is kind, warm and collaborative. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is a mix of cognitive-behavioral, brief solution oriented therapy and Christian based values. I will work with you to develop a treatment plan to meet your individual and specific needs. I believe that mental wellness is as important as physical wellness and typically incorporate "exercises" for both areas.
Do realize if you cancel your scheduled appointment with less than 24 hours notice, it will be marked as a No Show in the BetterHelp system. We know emergencies occur, and we will more than accommodate those cases, but cancelling without appropriate notice affects our availability to others and our own personal schedules. I thank you in advance for your consideration!
My available days are primarily Mondays - Wednesdays. Presently I have limited evening hours. I have recently retired and I am now working on a part-time basis plus spending time with our 3 year old grandson!
People decide to enter counseling for a variety of different reasons. When you take that first courageous step to receive help for yourself and/or your family, you begin the road to a more fulfilling and purpose filled life!
I look forward to working with you!

When I started therapy, I was in a really bad place. Stacie has helped me during some of my roughest days and I can honestly say this is probably the best experience I've had with a therapist. Stacie has helped me tremendously with giving me strategies to cope with my anxiety and she is a great person to talk to when you need to hear yourself voice something aloud. Stacie has tons of experience and I really trust her expertise. I know that God sent Stacie to me and I'm forever grateful to be working with her. I would highly recommend Stacie!

Stacie has been absolutely wonderful and I have gotten more out of meeting with her than I imagined. She is able to connect personally to situations and is a great listener. I am glad I took the steps to get the mental health help that I needed, and blessed to be able to connect with my counselor to get the most out of my sessions.
