Stacy Springston, PhD., LPCC

In my 20-plus years in mental health, I have worked with individuals from ALL walks of life including prominent professionals, fellow clinicians, and a vast variety of others. This broad spectrum has taught me many valuable lessons, but one holds true; everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. In my experience, it is the client who recognizes a problem and is determined to correct it, who does the best in therapy. My primary goal is to meet you human to human in the most objective space possible. I can assure you a safe, confidential space with a compassionate ear.

Life transitions and difficult situations are tough and can't be designated to a specific population. I have worked with adolescents, young adults, professionals/ leaders in the commuity, parents, and the list goes on and on. If your privacy is a factor that you value and want to ensure, ask me about in-home sessions and private pay rates.

Big responsibilites, Big transitions, and Big Changes can bring big on BIG stress. Regardless of where you are in life, difficult situations can arrise even in the greatest most positive circumstances. These transitions and life events can easily begin to overwhelm and you may need someone to listen, validate, and provide an objectivity to your struggles.

Stacy received her Masters Degree in 2004 and her Doctoral Degree in 2015. She is a native of southeastern Kentucky.
