Some of the loneliest feelings don’t come from being alone – they come from being in a relationship and still feeling disconnected. The same argument on repeat. The emotional distance that keeps growing no matter what you try. The sense that you’ve lost the thread of yourself somewhere inside a relationship that was supposed to feel safe. Or maybe the relationship has ended, and you’re left trying to understand why you keep landing in the same painful patterns – with partners, with family, with yourself.
If any of that sounds familiar, Stacey Turner works with exactly that.
As an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Stacey specializes in the emotional wounds that relationships leave behind and the patterns they create. She works with adults in individual, couples, and family therapy, supporting clients who are struggling to communicate, feeling disconnected from the people they love, or caught in cycles of conflict and withdrawal they can’t seem to break. She also works with individuals carrying attachment wounds, relationship trauma, or the aftermath of divorce, breakups, or family ruptures – helping them understand not just what happened, but why the same dynamics keep showing up, and how to finally change them.
Stacey’s work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most well-researched, attachment-based approaches available for relationship healing. EFT helps clients slow down their emotional reactions, identify the deeper needs driving their patterns, and build the kind of secure, responsive connections that actually last. She integrates this with psychodynamic, humanistic, and relational principles – always focused on emotional experience, attunement, and genuine connection rather than surface-level communication fixes.
Her background includes experience as a recovery support specialist in residential treatment and as a Crisis Text Line volunteer – meaning she’s comfortable sitting with clients in their most vulnerable, high-stakes moments and helping them find solid ground.
Stacey holds a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and brings a style that is warm, collaborative, and anything but clinical. She believes therapy isn’t about assigning blame or dissecting the past – it’s about becoming more accessible and responsive, so you can form deeper connections with others and with yourself.
“Therapy is not about why it happened,” Stacey shares. “It’s about becoming more accessible and responsive – so that you can form the deeper emotional connections you deserve.”
Whether you’re navigating a relationship in crisis, healing from one that’s ended, or simply trying to feel more secure in yourself and your connections, Stacey is here to help you build the clarity, resilience, and closeness you’re looking for.
Outside the therapy room, Stacey enjoys spending time with her cats, baking treats to share, reading books with a good twist, and growing her own farm-to-table ingredients.
