Stacey B. Thacker is a licensed marriage and family therapist, presenter, author, and consultant who has devoted her career to helping individuals and families navigate life's most difficult transitions and discover renewed hope, healing, and growth.

With extensive experience in trauma and grief, Stacey specializes in traumatic loss, PTSD and trauma recovery.

Stacey understands the unique emotional demands of caregiving and provides a compassionate space for caregivers to process grief, manage stress and compassion fatigue, and care for themselves while continuing to care for those they love.

Stacey also works with therapists and other helping professionals. She recognizes that those who spend their lives caring for others need a place where they can step out of the therapist role and simply be supported. Her work with therapists includes maintaining perspective, navigating personal and professional challenges, processing trauma and loss, and addressing compassion fatigue and burnout.

Whether working with an individual, couple, family, caregiver, or fellow therapist, Stacey brings warmth, experience, and a deep respect for each person's unique story. Her goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where people can make sense of what they have experienced, strengthen their relationships, and move forward with greater resilience, healing, and hope.
