Stacy Rauch, MA, LPCC; Founder & Owner.

I am a Licensed Clinical Counselor and Certified Trauma Professional from San Diego, California, with a background spanning dance and entertainment, animal care, and the mental health field. I hold additional certifications in leadership, and trauma, and am passionate about making quality, mental health care from a relatable professional, accessible to those in the entertainment and touring industry.

I approach therapy from the belief that all behavior is a choice (conscious or not) made to meet one of our basic human needs. We are responsible for our choices, which means yeah, it might get uncomfortable facing that truth, but with that responsibility comes hope, personal control, and the power to change!

In our work together, I will use evidence-based therapeutic practices mixed with dry humor, gentle confrontation, and occasional swearing, to help you gain insight, and clarity while creating a balance between following your passion and nurturing the most important connections in your life- including that to yourself.

*Stacy currently serves individuals, couples, and groups, offers workshops in topics including communication, leadership, parenting, and more; and heads the on-site event collective.

Lara Touckly (she/her), MA, LPCC #7997

I am a curious, authentic, and a very human therapist. I love working with people who want to do the work. I use humor, prioritize connecting with clients, and use a trauma-informed approach to see the world through the client’s eyes. I am here to provide a safe space that will foster vulnerability and growth. Therapy is so hard sometimes. I am here to make that pill a little easier to swallow. We fall into times where we feel stuck, don't have sufficient self-love, or just have run out of hope. I am here to support you in getting unstuck, changing your perspective, increasing your self-love, and remind you that there is hope. Just because we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel, it doesn't mean it's not there.

I use my intuition in integrating evidence-based interventions. A big part of therapy is the relationship— so here’s a little about me.

I sometimes cuss, because sometimes life just fucking sucks.

I’m not as funny as I think I am (and that doesn’t stop me).

I am so human, it’s not even funny.

I am genuine, and have a pretty bad poker face.

I am here to empower you, instill hope, and help you persevere through. So let's fucking go.
