Staci Sandvik, LCSW, is a compassionate clinical social worker and therapist who assists clients grappling with unresolved trauma and emotional distress, particularly those who have struggled with traditional therapy. She specializes in trauma therapy while also addressing a diverse spectrum of issues including abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction, and false self-beliefs. Staci recognizes the significance of understanding how past experiences shape present behaviors, as well as the need to bring unconscious patterns into awareness. Her approach emphasizes mindfulness, encouraging clients to tune into their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in the moment. This practice not only fosters insights but also helps individuals learn to better tolerate and ultimately transcend their distress. Staci utilizes a combination of therapeutic interventions, including NP Psychosomatic, EMDR, and Brainspotting, designed to liberate clients from lingering past traumas, troubling memories, and unproductive behaviors. Armed with her background as a Vice President in the non-profit sector, along with experience as a facilitator, graduate supervisor, and Clinical Director, Staci offers a well-rounded therapeutic experience. Her philosophy embraces continuous learning and growth, as she believes that each client teaches her invaluable lessons on the path toward healing and self-discovery.
