Stacey K. Wood, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Stacey K. Wood, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I see people in person only. Limited client space currently available. ☀️ It can be scary to take a chance because change can be scary.

As a therapist I see my role as one of a guide helping people discover and learn to use the innate abilities they possess to heal their own lives. My work is born out of a heartfelt compassion for those who grapple with anxiety, depression, fear, abuse, codependency or hopelessness. I work with many issues, challenges, and conditions, including self-criticism/perfectionism, relationship issues, an

xiety, depression, trauma, and grief. It can be hard to reach out and ask for help, because the idea of change can be scary, so please know that your courage in looking for support is recognized and deeply respected. When we find ourselves wrestling with the same problem(s) over and over again we can become very discouraged. Shopping or eating to comfort ourselves, being drawn to relationships that are/feel unhealthy, struggling internally with shame, perfectionism or self-criticism, feeling depressed or anxious, or being unable to let go of anger or fear for reasons that elude us can make us feel like our lives will never change. If you have attempted to resolve a problem or a way of thinking and have been unsuccessful, counseling can teach you how to use both the skills you were born with but have yet to utilize, and those you may need to learn in order to change your life. So I invite you to consider what you could stand to gain by giving counseling a chance... You may have been to counseling before and it didn't work. Please know that every therapist is different, and it is crucial to find the right match for you. Signs of a good match and things to look for in a therapist:

Feeling understood
Feeling safe
Feeling heard
Models good boundaries
Compassionate
Curious
Tailors the therapy to your needs

I offer free phone consultations, and would be happy to answer and questions you have so you can get a better sense of whether I might be a good match for you. You are welcome to call with any questions or concerns you may have. It is easiest to reach me Monday - Friday from 9am-7pm. I look forward to speaking with you. If you wish to make an appointment, please message me or call me at the number listed below. Thank you, and I look forward to helping in any way I can.

S*x and Narcissism:

03/22/2025

This is a very helpful description of four types of narcissism.  People who have narcissistic aspects can have characteristics of more than one type. Do any of these descriptions remind you of someone you know... even if it's yourself? ☀️💜🙏🏼

Offer your self a genuine act of self compassion: This is a wonderful program that helps us regulate our nervous system when we have emotions that are overwhelming us. Whether we are overjoyed or devastated by the election results, we may be feeling lonely, alienated or misunderstood by people that we love. We may deeply fear the future. We may be feeling quite frozen. No matter what we are feeling and no matter what side of the political fence we are standing on, this can really help. Please listen and give this very helpful and respected program on calming anxiety a chance to help you 💜🙏🏼

When we feel fear at the idea of expressing support for others to have a voice of their own, we need to recognize that oppression and act ☀️🤗 So, If you see a man hovering over his wife or girlfriend today while she is voting, PLEASE talk to a poll worker to have security remove him. Every vote is private and no one, including spouses, have the right to see who you vote for. Don't let anyone be intimidated!

We hear the internal dialogue of our thoughts virtually every waking moment, and we know that our internal voices speak to us in many different ways — different ideas, advice, emotions, and varying degrees of intensity, given the circumstances.
