Getting to know Stacy Braiuca
With over two decades as a Clinical Social Worker, Stacy has mastered the interplay of traditional therapeutic approaches with advanced techniques. She holds a Master's in Social Work from the University of Missouri, Columbia, and a Master's in Public Health from the University of Kansas. As a Certified Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Mental Emotional Release? (MER), and Hypnosis, she stands out as a genuine Change Navigator?, guiding individuals and groups toward meaningful change.
Stacy's core belief is both enlightening and empowering: the conviction that everyone can "reprogram" their psyche, akin to updating software. This perspective, honed from years of client interactions, reveals the human capacity for resilience. Stacy meticulously uncovers dated mental constructs and ingrained patterns, tracing them back to early life, sometimes even before the age of six. Such patterns, while latent, can stifle growth.
Her methodology seamlessly marries science with compassion. Merging NLP's prowess in communication, MER's emotional release, and the transformative states of Hypnosis, she crafts a holistic therapeutic journey. Complementing her rich repertoire of traditional methods, she incorporates cutting-edge techniques, ensuring her approach is both broad and deeply effective.
In Stacy's world, therapy, coaching, and consulting are interconnected threads. This synergy lets her tailor interventions to each client's unique narrative. Central to her ethos is collaboration. While clients are the captains charting their life's direction, Stacy acts as the indispensable navigator. She furnishes them with the tools, maps the way, and provides counsel. The end goal? For clients to navigate confidently toward their envisioned futures. Guided by Stacy, this journey is not only transformative but also deeply rewarding and enlightening.

3. **Empowerment**: Stacy's core belief revolves around empowering her clients. She provides tools and strategies, but ultimately, she believes each client has the innate power to reprogram their psyche and drive transformative change.
4. **Safety and Respect**: Creating a safe space where clients can express themselves without judgment is foundational. Respect, trust, and confidentiality underpin every interaction.
5. **Dynamic Experience**: With expertise in NLP, MER, and Hypnosis, sessions with Stacy can be dynamic and varied, ensuring clients get a multifaceted healing experience.
Stacy's style marries empathy with expertise. As a Change Navigator™, she doesn't merely guide clients through challenges; she equips them to navigate life's complexities confidently. Her approach is integrative, melding therapy, coaching, and consulting. While sessions are rooted in evidence-based practices, they're also intuitive, molded to fit each client's unique needs and goals. Expect sessions where your voice is heard, your potential recognized, and every step is taken with the clear intent of guiding you towards a brighter, more fulfilling horizon.
