Stacey Pacouloute, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Stacey!

I enjoy working with women in transition (career, education, relationship, life adjustments, etc.) As a POC, my goal is to eliminate barriers and stigmas associated with therapy in the BIPOC community.

My focus

I typically work with adult women (18 and older) who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, life/work stressors, and adjustment disorders.

My approach

I have a client-centered approach where I start where the client is. I work with the client to identify protective factors, strengths, and patterns to begin problem-solving.

My communication style

I love to create a safe and nonjudgmental experience for my clients. I am also very empathetic and solution-oriented.

My journey to mental healthcare

During the first session, the client can share why they are seeking therapy, build rapport, and ask any questions they may have about therapy.

My goals for you

I have always done well with 1-on-1 and find that people open up to me easily. I love to learn new things and understand that the client is the expert in their life.

Our first session

The client and I develop goals starting with the presenting issues and determined by the initial assessment.
