About Me
Counseling for Trauma, Depression and Anxiety.
My name is Stacey Fish and I am the founder of Balance Counseling and Wellness. I specialize in EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, DBT, Solution Focused counseling, play in therapy, art in therapy and mindfulness. As your counselor, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.
While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand, manage and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will work together to uncover negative thoughts, flip cognitions and apply tools that you can use to experience a more meaningful life.

EMDRia Trained EMDR Therapist
I’ve been through several therapists and I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone before. I usually hold back in fear of judgement, but I don’t feel the need to do that with Stacey. She creates a safe, welcoming environment, and does an amazing job to really get to know me and how I think. She has a perfect balance between validating my feelings, while also contributing realistic approaches to help me reach my goals. I’ve grown and learned so much since being with Balance. It’s amazing because she has many activities and workbooks to go through that address my feelings perfectly. It’s not just a “rant” session, she takes an active approach to finding resources that will be the most helpful for my treatment. I never realized how great a therapist could even be until I met Stacey:) - Lauren R, 18 Female
