Find a Therapist in California

Hello and Welcome

My name is Anastasia but you can call me Stacey. I have been working in the clinical field for 25 years, and specialize in working with depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, anger management, chronic pain, eating and weight challenges, fears, trauma, grief/loss, military families, personal growth, and life transitions. I work with all age groups, individuals, couples and families.

I believe we are all resilient and can overcome obstacles to achieve the fulfillment we wish for ourselves. By searching this site, you have already taken the hardest step in this process which is to actively seek relief. My goal is to create a safe and open environment to support the expression of your innermost thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and feelings. I believe that processing, understanding, and working through these dynamics will create the necessary change and internal growth to achieve your life goals. Change is achievable when you have the tools to create it. The development of a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship will be instrumental in producing growth, and we will use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help you achieve your goals, overcome obstacles and challenges, and gain insight which will increase understanding and reinforce positive behaviors.

My approach utilizes several evidence-based therapies and interventions from a range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic-based therapy, Trauma-Induced therapy, Strength-Based therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Person-Centered therapy. 

My background includes working at several outpatient therapy clinics where I worked extensively with all ages, backgrounds, and challenges. I conducted individual, family, and couples counseling. I also worked at El Toro Marine Base counseling center, and CPC psychiatric hospital. I also ran a level 12 facility for several years for children and adolescents with behavioral issues and on probation in the foster care system. I also worked with low-income individuals and families struggling with housing and services. 

I have a MA in Clinical Psychology, an MSW, and ASW. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you to help find the change you strive for yourself.
