Meet Stacey Kiran, an accomplished LCSW Mental Health Clinician based in Chicago, Illinois, who strongly believes in partnering with her clients to navigate life’s twists and turns. Stacey is deeply committed towards creating a comfortable, supportive environment for her clients where they never feel alone on their journey to change and healing. She effortlessly builds a friendly rapport with everyone she works with, making it easier to discuss and confront difficult issues. Her approach to therapy is designed around recognizing and validating the inner strengths of her clients, which forms the bedrock of their therapeutic relationship.

Stacey holds a Bachelor's of Science degree in Psychology from Purdue University and a Master's in Social Work with a Mental Health focus from Indiana University, both esteemed institutions located in Indianapolis, IN. Adding a global touch to her practice, she has lived and worked in South Korea, and has completed an internship in Dharamsala, India. Stacey extends this global perspective in her counseling by appreciating the 'culture' of her clients – the different ways they have been shaped by their beliefs, customs, and personal experiences. Confronting or changing parts of this 'culture' can be challenging or even traumatic, but Stacey prides herself on finding the positives in her clients' coping mechanisms before anything else. This approach aids in exploring how these mechanisms can continue to serve her clients, how they can reclaim them if they've been hurt, or how they can tweak them to uncover their ultimate, authentic selves.
