My Training
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a graduate of the PGSP–Stanford Psy.D. Consortium, a program known for its rigorous academic training and emphasis on evidence-based care. There, I received instruction and mentorship from some of the leading clinicians and researchers in the country. My practice draws on specialized training and extensive experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and comprehensive psychological assessment.
My Approach to Therapy
My clinical approach is focused, compassionate, and results-oriented. I work actively with clients to identify what’s holding them back, and to build the tools and insight needed to move forward with clarity and confidence. For individuals, I use CBT to help shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. For couples, I use EFT to deepen emotional connection, improve communication, and restore trust. Whether I’m working with a client facing anxiety, burnout, or relationship conflict, my aim is always the same: to help you reconnect with your strength, values, and capacity for meaningful change.
My Professional Background
Before becoming a psychologist, I served as a U.S. Marine Corps officer, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Leading diverse teams in high-stress environments taught me how to connect across differences—with people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and personalities. That experience continues to shape my work today. I bring a grounded, nonjudgmental presence to therapy, and I take seriously the responsibility of earning each client’s trust. My passion—both then and now—is helping individuals become the strongest, most authentic version of themselves.
We are not meant to carry the entirety of life’s weight alone! I believe that mental health should be very much prioritized to reach true contentment. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for healing and growth. In therapy, we will collaborate on developing the best coping skills for your symptoms and concerns. We will navigate through emotions and work to maintain balance. I aim to provide supportive comfort, as well as challenge, in order to strive for the greatest version of yourself.
I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. With over six years experience in the field, I have utilized a variety of therapeutic approaches to assess and treat individuals struggling with stress management, adjustment, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, etc.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, personal changes, work, family challenges, relationship strain, or the pressure to hold everything together? I support adults, women, parents, and families who want more peace, clarity, and balance in their lives. My work is rooted in the whole person approach (e.g., mind, body, spirit, inside and outside of systems), with special focus on emotional wellness, tangible daily tools, and realistic committments to help you feel whole, in control, and connected. With over 20 years of experience, I offer a space where you can feel heard and begin moving forward.
Mental health has long been treated as the forgotten side of healthcare — and for me, that's exactly why it matters so much. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving clients across California through telehealth and in-person care, I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, and ADD/ADHD. I believe that when mental health struggles go unaddressed, everything else in life suffers — and that healing is not only possible, it's necessary. When I'm not supporting my clients, you'll find me out in nature, getting lost in a good movie, or discovering new music — small reminders of the joy and balance I encourage my clients to find for themselves.
My approach to clients is to see them both as individuals and also within the systems they operate in: familial, community, work-related, societal, or other. I help clients address personal issues in the context of their interpersonal relationships. I strive to support my clients in bringing to light their impact on others, and others’ impact on them while giving clients the skills to heal relational wounds and build healthier, meaningful connections. I work to help her clients connect with their values and find joy.
Hi there, I am Stacey Sciacchitano, a licensed Psychotherapist based in Southern California. My work is rooted in the belief that anxiety is not a flaw, it is a protective system that has worked very hard for a long time.
I am passionate about helping high-functioning people, especially women, move beyond anxiety, overthinking, and fear of not being enough.
I support deep-feeling individuals in gaining self‐knowledge, confidence in their own intuition and voice, and practical tools to navigate challenges when they resurface. My work is collaborative and person‐centered; I see therapy as a process of guiding you back to yourself, rather than telling you what you should do.
Together, we explore how past experiences may be impacting your life today, build awareness of your nervous system, and create space for clarity around your purpose and goals.
I am LGBTQIA+ and multiculturally informed and welcome diverse communities into my practice.
I believe the best work happens when you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself—no pressure, no judgment, and no need to have everything figured out before you start. We’ll work together to explore what’s bringing you in, what matters most to you, and what you’d like to change or better understand.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Each person is different, so our work will be tailored to your needs, your goals, and your pace. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, going through a transition, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I’m here to help you move forward in a way that feels manageable and authentic.
What I Bring to Our Work
- A welcoming, nonjudgmental space
- Thoughtful listening and honest, compassionate feedback
- A balance of insight and practical tools you can use outside of sessions
- Support that’s personalized to you, not a preset formula
If you’re looking for someone who is easy to talk to, genuinely supportive, and invested in your growth, I’d be glad to work with you and see if we’re a good fit.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Modesto, CA
Finding couples therapists in Modesto starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with couples, marriage counseling, or relationship concerns. Some therapists also note specific couples training, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, and licensed marriage and family therapists may have focused training in relationship dynamics.
In a mid-size city like Modesto, the right fit often depends on both specialty and logistics. You may want a therapist with an office near your home, work, or school schedule, while virtual sessions can offer more flexibility when two calendars need to align. As you compare Modesto therapists, check whether they are accepting new clients, offer appointment times that work for both partners, and provide a brief phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, how they structure couples sessions, and whether their approach fits what you are looking for.
Therapy in Modesto can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Modesto therapy options by insurance, availability, specialty, and session format. You can review therapist profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your insurance is verified, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
