My name is Stacy Braiuca. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) for over 20 years, public health educator of 10+ years, and technology-focused early adopter of 40+ years.
I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and my Master’s Degree in Public Health from the University of Kansas Medical Center. Combined they help me help people bridging the gaps between holistic health and wellness and mental health concerns.
As a therapist, I have had the honor to help many different people: starting with children, teens, and their families, to working with elders in nursing homes, and those facing crises in the emergency room.
Clients I have worked with struggled with anxiety, depression, life changes and stress, marital issues, trauma, and parenting issues.
I love bringing knowledge of current cutting edge technology tools and wellness perspectives together as a powerhouse toolbox which can help you on your journey to your better self.
Through this process you can learn how to: identify and analyze issues in your own life, to step back and interrupt negative patterns in your life, use new tools and skills to find relief from the burdens that you are constantly carrying around, and get unstuck individually or in your relationships.
My main goal as a therapist is to start where you are in your journey, help you define and those goals and dreams for your life, and finally be your navigator in putting tools, skills, and resources in place for you to deal with past concerns.
Therapy is still so stigmatized, so it is a truly wonderful thing that you have reached out to take care of your overall health! I would love to walk beside you as you embark on that journey.
I look forward to working with you!
Stacy

She has been excellent with a variety of ways to help me. She’s giving me great ideas on how to support myself when I am working in between sessions. And she’s always there to listen to me. I believe she has tons of great knowledge.

Stacy has been amazing! She has helped me through some tough situations many times. She is full of resources to help with almost any situation and has really helped me open my eyes to see myself. I have seen Stacy on and off for 20+ years and I would follow her to any platform she is part of whenever I need help.
