My ultimate goal is to empower people to cultivate resilience, enhance their well-being, and live more fulfilling lives.

At times you may not know where to turn or what to do to make things better. If you could use some support, I'd like to help. My office provides a comfortable atmosphere where I am non-judgmental in my approach. My mission is to help improve my clients' lives by focusing on their strengths to create a healthy difference that is long lasting.

Stacey Tweedt, MA, LPCC, LADC-S; When we give our power away/have it taken away it creates a vacuum & we may feel compelled to fill it somehow (surrendering to others, losing ourselves in relationships, addictions or dysfunctional /sabotaging behaviors). This all prevents a major human function from happening, feeling the truth of ALL our feelings and because people either process or project their experiences, they will continue to experience similar situations, until resolved. Both men & women, may have been shamed away from feelings (sometimes through violence, abuse or neglect) either by families or culture, which needs to stop.

I have been in the Mental Health field for almost 20 years specializing in individual, children, families and couples therapy. Often people seek therapy when they feel stuck. Sometimes it takes a unbaised voice to put new persepctive into your thought process. Are you experiencing a change in career, a loss of a relationship, parenting difficulties, social anxiety or low self esteem? Do you overthink situations, feel misunderstood or judged? Have you even said, " I know why, but can't seem to change." Knowledge alone without application of daily skills cannot create lasting change.

You may be at a point where you are feeling depressed because you feel alone and misunderstood. Changes in your life are overwhelming. Life and relationships are difficult to manage. You may be thinking that you “should” be stronger and not let things bother you so why do they? Your marriage has a lot of challenges and you and your spouse do not see eye to eye. You are an LGBTQ identified person and are feeling stuck. You are encountering roadblocks in your personal life and relationships. You want so much in life, but nothing seems to come together for you.
