Stacy Thomas (she/her) is a grief-centered, somatically oriented therapist who specializes in the kinds of losses most people don’t know how to talk about. Her work often includes parents who have lost children, adults facing serious or life-limiting illness, older adults carrying layers of ungrieved losses, and those navigating spiritual trauma or a shifting sense of meaning. If you’re living with grief, mortality, or experiences that feel “too much” or “unsayable,” Stacy offers a place where you don’t have to hold it alone.

Stacy became a therapist in 2015 after years of chaplaincy and grief work, learning firsthand that healing doesn’t come from being “fixed” — it comes from having someone stay with you, hear the truth you’re carrying, and not flinch or abandon you. Clients often describe her as grounded, warm, validating, non-judgmental, and deeply present. She has a high capacity for sitting with emotional intensity and welcomes the honest, raw, and existential questions that many people feel they have to hide.

At the core of Stacy’s approach is connection and deep listening. She doesn’t push, prescribe, or impose an agenda. Instead, she accompanies people into the places they’re afraid to look, trusting that we are wired for connection and healing. Together, you’ll explore how “wires got crossed” in your life — in your nervous system, your beliefs, your relationships — and gently support new ways of responding that make more room for your full humanity. Therapy with Stacy might feel less like being directed and more like being accompanied closely, at your own pace, with someone who can “sit with anything.”

Clinically, Stacy integrates Somatic Experiencing® (SE), psychodrama, person-centered and existential therapy, and other bottom-up, body-based approaches to trauma recovery and grief counseling. She pays careful attention to the body and the environment — lighting, scent, temperature, seating, blankets, sensory supports — to help your nervous system feel safer and more grounded. Her work often weaves in somatic awareness, mindfulness, ritual, and spiritual or meaning-centered conversations, especially for those carrying spiritual wounding or religious trauma.

Stacy’s areas of focus include grief of all kinds (death, identity shifts, accumulated losses), traumatic loss, unprocessed grief, spiritual trauma, end-of-life concerns, and questions of meaning and identity after loss. She has a particular soft spot for anyone carrying a broken heart in a world that tells them not to have one, and believes “grief needs company, not correction.”

Stacy offers individual therapy for grief, trauma recovery, spiritual trauma, and end-of-life support, using somatic experiencing and psychodrama as core tools in the work. She sees clients both in person and virtually, with availability Monday through Friday, and offers private pay with some reduced-fee slots and superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.

If you’re looking for a grief therapist who can sit with the truth of your experience — without rushing you, correcting you, or turning away — Stacy would be honored to walk alongside you.
