About Stacey
Stacey Wade is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 17 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and eating and self-esteem concerns. Sessions focus on the issues the person brings, including social anxiety and phobia when that is a concern.
Her work covers a range of related concerns such as body image, postpartum challenges, pregnancy and childbirth experiences, and fertility-related stress. She also helps people navigating divorce and separation and those coping with seasonal affective changes. Stacey supports people who face multiple, overlapping issues rather than a single problem at a time.
Stacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques within a person-centered, trauma-informed framework. In practical terms that means she listens to what matters to the client, offers clear methods that have shown helpful results, and adjusts the pace to what feels manageable. Sessions include talking through patterns, learning concrete coping strategies, and addressing how past family-of-origin experiences affect current behavior.
Her approach pays attention to how eating and food-related issues connect to self-image and mood. She works with people on practical steps around eating, body image, and the emotional aspects of food. For those with post-traumatic stress and abuse histories, she combines steady support with methods aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning.
