As a trauma therapist, I specialize in using specific trauma-focused therapies like IFS and EMDR to alleviate the suffering and stuckness that come with depression, anxiety, PTSD, cPTSD, and other debilitating emotional experiences. My approach is to bring respect and gentleness to identify specifically what needs healing, help you form a foundation of stability, and then bring in the emotional transformation you're looking for - all while respecting your pacing. I love my work and would be honored to hear from you to see if we're be a good fit.

  • Internal Family Systems
  • Ketamine Therapy
  • Sandplay
Approach Description: As a trauma focused therapist, my belief is that emotional suffering in adulthood is due to unhealed emotional wounds from the past. My primary approach is Internal Family Systems (IFS), a non-shaming therapy that respects and honors different aspects of our being, "Parts" in a very specific way that leads to people's ability to be at peace within. I also use EMDR from time to time when situations present themselves in a way that show me that specific bilateral stimulation might be helpful. I take a three phase approach to trauma healing that includes first creating stabilization in the system, then gently accessing trauma and bringing the specific healing that is needed (IFS, EMDR and/or KAP), then integrating the work that was done so that people can practice a new way of life.

Stacy Costopoulos Smith Practice Description
I provide evidence-based Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR therapies to adults who want to heal from emotional wounds that are keeping them stuck in depression, anxiety, PTSD or C-PTSD. When appropriate, I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with prescribing medical professionals, using IFS as the main therapeutic approach. I'm a certified psychedelic-assisted therapy provider and I've provided preparation, medicine session work, and integration for over 100 KAP sessions. I love working with adults with any kind of trauma, and adults who've received late Autsim Level 1 and/or ADHD diagnosis. In my sessions, I like to include somatic and expressive therapies including movement, art, and sand tray (yes for adults.) My practice welcomes people of diverse cultural backgrounds, is LGBTQ+ affirming, body positive, and neurocomplexity affirming.
