Getting to know Stacy VanBruggen-O'Rourke

Hi! I’m Stacy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My role is to help you identify your unique strengths and skills and combine those with new insights so you can live the life you want. I understand that deciding to talk to someone about what is going on right now is significant. I’m glad you are considering this. My approach My work stems from a Wellness and Recovery perspective focusing on hope, personal responsibility, education, self-advocacy, and support. I am trained in humanistic theories and Positive Psychology. I typically use future-oriented techniques that focus on change, such as Solution Focused Therapy and Reality Therapy. I believe you are the expert on you and create the meaning and purpose in your life. My focus I typically work with people experiencing thoughts and feelings connected to depression and anxiety. Perhaps you want to worry less, sleep better, drink less, rebuild or improve relationships, gain insight, forgive, make an important life decision, feel more productive or hopeful, or understand why you feel the way you do right now. People I work with often feel “stuck” or think “it shouldn’t have to be this hard,” or believe “there must be a better way”—and there is. My communication style People have various communication and learning styles. We will discuss how you communicate and learn. Coming from a military family and healthcare work, I am comfortable with clear, direct communication and feedback. I also value the intimacy created through the stories we tell about ourselves, our experiences, and the people around us. My journey to mental healthcare I understand that environment and systems impact our relationships, opportunities, and resources. I know there are things that happen to us that are not our fault.
