ABOUT ME

I’m Stacey Nixon, founder of Hope & Healing Counseling, LLC. I’m a Licensed Counselor who is passionate about helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families move toward healing, connection, and emotional well-being.

​

Through a relational approach, I support clients in healing from trauma, relational ruptures, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck. My goal is to help clients develop greater self-awareness and self-acceptance to support meaningful shifts in their lives and relationships.

​

My Approach

I believe we heal through relationships, and I approach therapy from a humanistic and strengths-based perspective. While we all experience pain and uncomfortable emotions, we also have the capacity for growth and change.

I strive to create a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel safe exploring their emotions, experiences, and patterns. I work to highlight my clients’ existing strengths while supporting them in building deeper self-awareness, understanding, and connection.

​

My style is relational, open, and collaborative. I draw from Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Family Systems Theory to guide my work. I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Professional Background

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Studies from Portland State University in 2012 and my Master of Science in Counseling, with a specialization in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling, from Portland State University in 2018.

​

My clinical experience includes working in residential treatment for children and adolescents with mental health concerns, therapeutic foster care, and community mental health. I have also facilitated support groups for teen survivors of sexual assault and led parenting programs focused on strengthening connection, communication, and parenting skills.

Personal Background

I was born and raised in the Portland metro area and deeply appreciate our good coffee and food, and the beautiful outdoors! Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends, staying active, cooking, exploring new restaurants, listening to music, and traveling whenever I can.

​

My personal experiences, natural curiosity, and genuine care for people led me to counseling. I continue to feel honored by this work and grateful for the opportunity to support clients as they evolve.
