Getting to know Stacey Widger
Therapy is the antidote to difficult life experiences. I have witnessed the transformative power of psychotherapy, and I am passionate about helping my clients experience it for themselves. I strive to be present, listen deeply, and offer support without judgment. My empathy allows clients to feel safe enough to explore both their vulnerabilities and strengths.
My approach
I specialize in treating depression, developmental trauma, intergenerational trauma, somatic symptoms, and perinatal mental health. With a trauma-informed background, I incorporate psychodynamic/psychoanalytic principles with behavioral techniques to provide the most comprehensive treatment for my clients. I provide a non-judgmental space for my clients to share the most sensitive issues in their lives.
My focus
I am passionate about helping people improve their relationships with others. Whether you are a parent seeking to improve your relationship with your child or you seek to deepen your relationship with a romantic partner, I would love to work with you to help you achieve your goals. I also have specialized training in working with pregnant women and couples on their pregnancy and parenthood journeys.
My communication style
I view therapy as a collaborative process. Clients are the experts in their own lives, and my role is to support, guide, and empower them to harness their own strengths. I invite feedback, encourage autonomy, and celebrate progress, both large and small. Together, we set realistic goals and track changes, fostering a sense of agency and accomplishment that extends beyond the therapy room.
My journey to mental healthcare
For many years, I worked as a family law attorney and mediator. I saw firsthand how family conflict and trauma negatively impact people. When I returned to school at age 43 to become a marriage and family therapist, my goal was to enhance my ability to support people through difficult life experiences.
