Dr. Stacey Simmons completed both her Bachelor’s in Anthropology and PhD in Media/Social Psychology from the University of New Orleans. She received her Master’s in Counseling Psychology, with a focus in Depth Psychology, from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California.
Dr. Stacey Simmons is deeply interested in the unconscious and the role it plays in our everyday lives. She writes extensively about the unconscious on my blog and for various magazines and journals. I also run a dream group for those interested in learning more about the power of dreams to influence us in the waking world.
​
Stacey has been drawn to the helping professions for most of her life. She worked as a teacher for special education students and then served my community as an ordained minister in the 1990’s. She later became trained in Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy, a practice she has been engaged in for a decade. Stacey has seen first hand the incredible healing that can take place when therapeutic techniques and human development reach past the therapy room.
​
Dr. Stacey believes the goal of therapy is to help ease my clients’ suffering, whether as individuals or couples, as they become more truly who they are meant to be. She knows that quality therapy is non-judgmental, unbiased, and promotes healing based on where people are and what they can tolerate as they move in a healing direction towards wholeness.
