Stacy Koch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in trauma recovery and PTSD by helping you feel a sense of safety and security in your life again. I help trauma become integrated as part of your story while focusing on your strengths and resources so you can feel less damaged. I am trained in EMDR which uses a somatic approach focused on helping adaptively consolidate memories rather than having them stay there stored in the body.
