Spiritual or Religious Therapists in Idaho

I'm a mix of all sorts of cultural influences - hence my fascination with languages and helping my clients adapt to change. My mother tongue is English, but I also grew up speaking Spanish, with my years in Buenos Aires leaving me with an unmistakably Argentinian accent (which other Spanish- speakers tend to sometimes 'lovingly mock'). My European side is thanks to over 30 years spent living and working in France, where I picked up not only an incurable love for lavender crème brûlée and other deliciously fattening foods, but the ability to provide therapy in fluent French. All in all, this means that immigrants, foreigners, expats; you're my people!

Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life. As a Caribbean American, I help men and women heal from trauma and toxic relationships by providing a safe, judgment free zone where you can learn new coping strategies to live your best life. I utilize cognitive-behavioral interventions and a psychodynamic and systems-based perspective that focuses on providing you with the tools to do the work to heal yourself. Are you ready to do the work? I am currently accepting new clients for 2024. Let us collaborate to improve your emotional intelligence, build your confidence, and maintain healthy relationships with others so you can experience as much joy and peace as possible. Licensed in USVI, AZ, CO, DE, FL, GA, IL, MA, MO, NE, NJ, NV, NH, OK, TX, UT, and other PsyPact states.

You want to feel whole, connected, and strong, but something is getting in the way. I love working with individuals, couples, parents, and families who are seeking growth and connection. When you are feeling hopeless about your challenges, I am here to reignite your hope and help you find the motivation to try again and succeed. I combine my natural compassion and empathy with researched based methods that work. My approach is practical, simple, powerful, and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I am a great listener, and offer clear, achievable advice that will move you forward. In addition to insightful therapy sessions, I will also help you to think about how the fundamentals of physical health, sleep, and diet impact your mental health and relationships. Some of the frameworks I use include: ACT, CBT, DBT, REBT, systems theory, and solution-focused therapy.

Stacy Pray , specialized in Emdr trauma treatment , substance abuse , teenagers and adults. Worked 15 years with anxiety , depression. , stress , pain , grief and lots of other issues related to  the struggles in life.  

I’ve always carried a deep desire to help people. My first career law enforcement. However, it did not really allow me to really dig in with individuals and help them make changes so they were not continuing the same cycles over and over. I returned to school and pursued my education in behavioral science and then mental health counseling, graduating with my Master’s degree in 2013. I've treated clients in residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, community mental health, and in a low to high security, all male state prison. I've worked with individuals from every walk of life. As a therapist and human being I’m always motivated to learn and grow. One of my passions is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I have been trained in and previously held certification in the Equine Assisted Growth & Education model. I also earned my EAGALA Military Services Designation to provide culturally competent services to our military members and their families. Another passion is working with our first responders, giving back to those to give so much daily.

I have over 20 years experience helping people who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and relationships. I provide an approach to therapy that focuses on you as an individual and helps you achieve your goals for coming to therapy.
