Hello Everyone,
My heart goes out to you and your loved ones as we struggle as a society with COVID-19. I want everyone to know that I will be doing my part in following the recommendations from the government regarding social distancing.

As a result, I will be shutting down in person counselling sessions until further notice.
I will be offering Skype, Phone, WhatsApp Video, and Facetime in lieu of in person sessions.

If you would like a phone or video session, I can be reached at 250.891.7452 for Phone, FaceTime and Whatsapp or via my Skype account: Stacey.innerlight for Skype video.

I am sending you all warm thoughts in this worrisome time.
Take care,
Stacey

Stacey's Orientation and Approach

_
Stacey believes we all possess the resources within ourselves to transform our lives for the better. She passionately guides her clients on a journey of discovering this basic truth as they transform their suffering into peace.  Stacey encourages her clients to explore living as the best versions of themselves: healthy and whole human beings that are thriving in this world and not just surviving within it.

Stacey believes it is vital and necessary to cultivate loving kindness and compassion towards ourselves as we work towards reconnecting to the brilliant clarity and wisdom shining within us at all times.  This process takes a lot of strength, and most importantly, support as it can be difficult to take on such a courageous task alone.

Often times what separates us from the connection to our basic goodness and authentic selves are life events that are out of our control. Sometimes these events can be abrupt, such as a traumatic accident, or slowly progress over time, such as depression, addiction, or anxiety.  In any case we are responding to what life brings us in the only way we know how and the best way we can.

_Stacey’s Approach
Stacey draws from an eclectic array of therapeutic techniques when working with her clients based on their individual needs. No one technique is effective for all people and therapy sessions must be tailored to what the client truly needs to work on in the moment. Person-centered and humanistic in nature, Stacey believes the trusting relationship between the client and therapist is of greatest importance when bringing the unconscious into light. Stacey’s techniques include but are not limited to:  

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Gestalt Therapy

Guided Visualization and Imagery

Dreamwork

Solution Focused Therapy

Meditative Practices

Motivational Interviewing

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Sensory Awareness

Transpersonal Psychology

_Stacey helps clients pay attention to their thoughts and become aware of their bodies as they begin to understand how each influences the other. By using mindfulness techniques, clients can learn to take control of their thoughts and emotions in order to transform their moods, states, and, overtime, their entire lives for the better.
