Stacey Maples, PhD

What to Expect when working with Me:

I practice cognitive behavioral therapy. This framework will allow us to help you to change the way you are thinking about your situation, your behaviors that may be affecting your situation, and to make important life decisions. While I believe in being supportive, I will also challenge your thinking at times to help you to see more options for yourself or your family that you haven't previously seen. Homework is sometimes also used to better assist you with making progress faster and starting the life you are wanting to live.

Modern life and relationships can be stressful but they don't have to feel overwhelming. I offer telehealth services to assist you in meeting your goals from the comfort of your own home. I work with adults, older adolescents, and seniors. If you would like to talk more about how I might help you, please call.
