I work with college students and young adults who are struggling to adjust to college life, feeling lonely, having difficulty making friends, or feeling like they don’t quite fit in.

I provide an affirming, supportive space for LGBTQIA+ students and those exploring identity, belonging, and relationships during this important stage of life.

The goal is to help each student not just cope, but truly reinvent themselves and thrive both on campus and beyond.

Well, if you are here, welcome! I am Stacey. I know it’s a journey to find the right therapist, and I’m glad you found your way to TheraHope. Most of my clients tell me, "You really get me" because I understand that being a student right now is heavy. We will work together to navigate the symptoms that weigh you down - like a racing mind or total shut down but also the daily drama with friends, parents and partners that drains your battery. If you are carrying past trauma, we will work together to navigate that negative self-talk and truly understand the "why" behind how you are feeling. We will create a game plan at your pace. My goal is to help you stop just "surviving" the semester and actually start feeling like yourself again. I really do care about my clients and I hope you decide to join this therapy road with me! Reach out today!

My passion is for helping people grow their self-confidence, improve communication skills, and build resilience. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing mental health distress, feel stuck and are looking to make changes to experience more joy in life. Through working with me, clients enhance their emotion regulation, establish new effective coping skills, and heal past trauma. LQBGTIA+ issues, recovery maintenance, anxiety and depression are common reason people seek treatment with me. My focus is to help individuals heal and progress through identifying their inner strengths. This is accomplished by providing an open space to hear your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. I am also a LGBTQIA+ allied therapist so I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to everyone who comes to see me.

A lot of the students I work with are in the middle of figuring things out. They may be adjusting to college, navigating changing friendships and relationships, balancing academic and personal responsibilities, or trying to manage anxiety, depression, and the pressure that comes with major life changes. I have a special passion for supporting women and female-identifying students as they navigate concerns like self esteem, identity, relationship challenges, boundaries, stress, and the many transitions that come with young adulthood. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, questioning your next steps, or struggling to prioritize your own needs, therapy can be a place to feel supported while building confidence and resilience. Through WellQor, I provide online therapy that can fit into a busy student schedule, and WellQor accepts most major insurance plans to help make care more accessible. I enjoy helping women develop healthier coping skills, strengthen their sense of self, improve relationships, and move through life's challenges with greater clarity and self compassion. I believe most people are doing the best they can with the tools they currently have. Therapy can be an opportunity to develop new tools, gain perspective, and better understand the patterns that influence your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My role is not to tell you what direction to take, but to help you feel more confident navigating your own path. If you're feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply looking for support during a challenging season of life, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we'll create a space where you can slow down, reflect, and build the confidence to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.

As a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience, I have worked with individuals from many different backgrounds and life stages, helping them navigate challenges related to stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth. Throughout my career, I've worked in a variety of settings, including military and veteran healthcare, behavioral health programs, and private practice, which has given me a broad perspective on the many ways people experience and respond to life's challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based care. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable exploring your experiences, gaining new perspectives, and developing skills that support your well-being both now and in the future. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply looking for support during a period of growth and change, I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

College is a time of growth, independence, and figuring out who you are—but it can also come with a lot of pressure. Between academics, relationships, friendships, career decisions, and trying to balance everything, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or like you’re expected to have it all figured out. As a younger male therapist, I offer a perspective that can feel relatable and approachable for college-aged men. I understand that opening up about stress, anxiety, relationships, or personal struggles doesn’t always come naturally, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. My approach is laid-back, honest, and judgment-free. Therapy isn’t about someone telling you how to live your life—it’s about having a space to talk openly, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and develop practical tools to handle life with more confidence. Whether you’re struggling right now or simply want to become a better version of yourself, I’m here to help.

At Clarity Cove Counseling, we specialize in helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, school and work stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of the people who come to us are bright, capable, and caring but underneath, they may be overthinking everything, putting enormous pressure on themselves, struggling with confidence, feeling overwhelmed by expectations, or simply not feeling like themselves. Parents may be wondering how to help a child who is anxious, shutting down, struggling socially, or having big emotions. Adults may look like they have everything together while privately feeling exhausted, stuck, disconnected, or caught in the same patterns over and over again. We help our clients understand what's happening beneath the surface and develop practical tools they can use in everyday life. That might look like a teen learning to manage anxiety without avoiding the things that matter to them, a student finding strategies that make ADHD more manageable, or a child learning to understand and regulate big emotions. For adults, progress might look like quieting the constant mental noise, setting boundaries without feeling consumed by guilt, understanding how past experiences are affecting present relationships, responding rather than reacting, and letting go of the pressure to always hold everything together. It can mean feeling more confident in your decisions, more connected in your relationships, and more like yourself again. For families, change might look like calmer mornings, fewer power struggles, more open conversations, and parents feeling more confident about how to support their child without constantly wondering if they're doing the right thing. Our goal isn't simply to help you feel better during a therapy session. We want what happens in the therapy room to translate into real life, at home, at school, at work, in your relationships, and in the way you see yourself. Located in Mooresville, NC, Clarity Cove Counseling offers a warm, down-to-earth space where you can feel understood, build meaningful skills, work through what's keeping you stuck, and begin creating a life that feels calmer, more connected, and more like your own.

One of the greatest joys I have in life is the privilege of walking beside clients on their journey to healing and wellness. I work hard to provide clients with a safe and comfortable space where they can address the issues of importance to them. I view myself as a fellow traveler whose role it is to collaboratively create a map to get clients where they desire to go. No two clients are the same, and no two maps are the same. Each experience with clients is new and deserves a fresh approach which is based on your needs, not mine. I work hard to get to know you, your story, your goals, your strengths, and your growing edges. I hope each and every client leaves the session feeling heard, valued, and respected. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with individuals, couples, and families from a systemic point of view. I work with clients to figure out where the various puzzle pieces fit inside their lives and relationships. I have earned a Masters and PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy, and along the way have taken extra training in a variety of areas. I am a sex therapist, a clinical sexologist, a certified sex addiction therapist, a certified partner trauma therapist, and a Gottman Level 3 trained therapist. I invest in the best training in order to provide you with the best tools. Clients come to me to work on issues of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, recovering from sexual assault/sexual abuse, and for exploring issues of sexual identity or sexuality issues. I am comfortable working with individuals, couples, and entire families — and I am comfortable working with adolescents and adults. I am in-network with several insurance panels. In working with couples, I primarily utilize the Gottman Method Couples Therapy. This approach to therapy is one of the most well researched and effective approaches to helping couples resolve issues, increase connection, improve communication, and gain a better understanding of how relationships work. When I am not in the office, you can usually find me hanging out at home, tending the garden, collecting eggs from the chickens, caring for our goats, harassing our dogs and cats, or harassing my very patient wife and very tolerant adult children. I sometimes get to play golf (and sadly lose A LOT of balls). And I enjoy working with various local groups such as the Human Rights Coalition of Alachua County, the Human Rights Council, the PRIDE Center, and working to help make our community a safe place for all people.
