Stacey Chapman, LSWAIC, SUDP-T
TherapistFirst responders are trained to handle emergencies—the cumulative stress of the job can take a serious toll. I specialize in therapy for police, fire, EMS, and other emergency professionals who want straightforward, effective support without judgment. My work focuses on trauma, sleep issues, anger, hypervigilance, substance use, and the impact of the job on relationships and identity. I offer a confidential, respectful space where strength and vulnerability can coexist. Therapy is practical, goal-focused, and designed to help you function better on and off duty.
As a therapist with six years of experience, I specialize in supporting First Responders, teens, adults, and families navigating life’s complexities with compassion, authenticity, and respect. My approach blends evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT with trauma informed care.
I'm passionate about helping youth and families build healthier communication patterns, explore identity, and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, and life transitions. Whether I’m working with a young person navigating gender exploration or a family learning to rebuild trust, my goal is to foster resilience and connection.
Makaela Hayward, LMHC
TherapistI work with women and athletes of all ages who may seem strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or uncertain on the inside. If you’re carrying pressure, navigating a life transition, questioning your worth, or simply feeling “not like yourself,” you are not alone. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel safe, and be fully seen. Together, we create room to process what’s heavy while gently building the confidence and emotional strength you need to move forward. I believe growth happens when compassion and accountability coexist. We honor your story, and we also help you step into who you’re becoming.
In our work together, you can expect a balance of compassion and structure. I use evidence-based practices that support insight-building, emotional resilience, and real progress toward the goals you set for yourself. My primary modalities include DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
You don’t have to carry life’s stress or self-doubt alone. I work with women, teen girls, and athletes to process challenges, build confidence, and strengthen emotional resilience. Therapy is a safe, supportive space to be seen and grow. When you’re ready, reach out — you deserve support.
