Stacey Austin, Psy.D., PMH-C
Credentials & Education
About
My style is warm, collaborative, and understanding. I strive to create an environment where individuals, parents, and children can feel seen, supported, and empowered. I help families explore how their past experiences might be contributing to their current challenges. I also work to help parents understand the meaning of their child’s behavior, meet their child’s emotional needs, and support their child’s ability to learn to regulate in the presence of a secure relationship.
