“We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.” - Brené Brown

​

Hi and welcome! My name is Stacy Bechtel, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I believe that change is facilitated through the power of the therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a warm, safe, and supportive environment for my clients to feel seen and heard. I will be there with you every step of the way as we navigate all of life’s ups and downs!

​

I am passionate about mental health and believe in empowering clients by focusing on the strengths and resilience of each person. I will meet you exactly where you are, and together we will create a personalized plan to meet your goals. I have worked in a variety of settings including clinics, in-home, inpatient, and schools. This experience has allowed me to become well versed in topics such as stress management, personal growth, adjusting to life transitions, and occupational burn out. I currently provide individual therapy services to children (8+), adolescents, teens, and adults. Although I don’t provide traditional family therapy, I can provide parent skills training per request. My background as a school-based therapist has allowed me to be active within the community and to develop an understanding of the unique challenges and pressures of school.

​

My therapy approaches are eclectic in nature as each client is met with individualized interventions and modalities. I use Mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Supportive therapy, Somatic work, and Trauma focused interventions in my work with clients. My specialties include: anxiety, emotion regulation, life transitions, mindfulness, stress reduction, and school issues. I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments.

​

Outside of therapy I enjoy watching sports games (go Ravens & O’s!), exploring Charlotte, and spending time with my bulldog, Mia.

Values: empathy, patience, authenticity, respect, and kindness
