Stacey Tisler

My communication style

I am warm, friendly, non-directive, and non-judgmental, especially while building rapport. It is important to create a safe space for my clients and hold that space for them so they can begin the healing process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered the field of social work working for my local county child welfare agency. After earning a master's degree, I decided that I could do more work as a therapist in helping others. I live my life with a compassionate heart and work toward the betterment of all humankind.

My goals for you

I work with my clients on goal setting in a collaborative manner and focus on what my clients want to work on and what is most important to them. It is important to start where the client is and what brought them to therapy, and trust that they know what is best for them.

Our first session

During my initial sessions, I discuss confidentiality and provide information on what therapy is and is not. For the remainder of the session, I use open-ended questions about how the client is feeling and what brought them to therapy. I like to listen more and will only ask questions for clarification.
