Stacy Gulston

Welcome! I'm Stacy Gulston, M.S., LMHC, CCTP, BIPOC-Certified, a licensed mental health counselor, United States Navy veteran, and graduate of Walden University, where I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My work is grounded in evidence-based trauma therapy, cultural humility, and a strengths-based approach that empowers clients to heal, grow, and build lasting resilience.

As a first-generation Caribbean American, I understand the impact that family, culture, and life experiences can have on our emotional well-being. I have a passion for helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and intergenerational healing in a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures, discovering new restaurants as a self-proclaimed foodie, and spending quality time with my miniature poodle. These experiences remind me of the importance of balance, connection, and finding joy in everyday life.

Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time or continuing your healing journey, I look forward to partnering with you as you move from surviving to thriving.

My approach integrates evidence-based trauma therapy with culturally responsive care to help clients move from surviving to thriving. Treatment focuses on:

• Stabilizing the nervous system and building emotional resilience.
• Understanding the impact of trauma, attachment, family dynamics, and cultural experiences.
• Processing trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief using evidence-based interventions.
• Replacing survival patterns with healthier beliefs, relationships, and behaviors.
• Building on each client's inherent strengths to foster resilience, growth, and lasting change.
• Creating a values-driven life that reflects healing rather than inherited pain.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and the goals you hope to achieve.

Together, we'll develop an initial plan tailored to your needs. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based trauma therapy. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about your healing journey.
