Stacy Kirkbride is a Registered Psychotherapist, writer, and mindset coach with a deep passion for helping people navigate the messy, meaningful terrain of life.

Before becoming a therapist, Stacy spent over a decade working in the world of health and fitness—as a yoga teacher, personal trainer, and coach—supporting people recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions, and adapting to age-related changes. That work sparked a deeper curiosity: What if healing required more than movement? What if people also needed space to feel, reflect, and be heard?

This question, along with her own experience living with lupus and multiple autoimmune syndromes, led Stacy to pursue psychotherapy. She now specializes in supporting individuals and couples living with chronic illness, pain, post-injury transitions, and caregiver stress. Drawing on both personal insight and professional training, she works holistically—acknowledging the physical, emotional, social, and existential layers of health challenges.

Stacy also brings a wealth of experience as a generalist, helping clients explore anxiety, depression, grief, self-worth, relationships, and major life transitions. She’s especially passionate about blending creativity and compassion—often using journaling, narrative therapy, and values-based approaches to help clients build confidence and reconnect with their sense of self.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll find Stacy deep in the woods, running trails, experimenting with clay, knitting something cozy, or writing about life, pain, and presence. Her work is grounded, thoughtful, and real—because healing doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
