Stacy Bettelon — Aligned Counseling & Consulting

Hi, I’m Stacy

I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in perinatal/postpartum care.
I am passionate about helping soon to be mamas, current moms or seasoned professionals find the support they need to get through this crazy ride called motherhood. I provide a non-judgmental and humorous space for clients to vocalize their ups and downs and how difficult seasons can be. I want to normalize the dislikes of pregnancy/motherhood as well as decrease the societal pressures to be the "perfect mom".
I want all expecting and current moms to feel validated in their journey and educate them on how to manage hormonal changes, navigate the new normal, struggles with their partners, regulating their nervous system and taking care of themselves!

My Specialties

How can I best support you?

You’ve already done some of the hardest things a human can do. Support and space to be yourself are essential to your health.

Motherhood has a way of shaking everything you thought you knew about yourself. Your body changes, your relationships shift, and suddenly the expectations feel louder than your own internal voice.

Therapy is a place to talk honestly about pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting without judgment or pressure to be grateful all the time. We focus on understanding your nervous system, navigating hormonal and emotional changes, improving communication with partners, and finding ways to care for yourself that actually feel doable.

“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”

— Dan Millman

Working with moms, EMDR can help to process birth traumas that may consist of pregnancy or infant loss, difficult labors, physical pain, feeling powerless, fearing for your life or the life of your baby and postpartum care. With EMDR, you can think about your birth or post birth with less fear, anger, shame or guilt. The goal is to create and strengthen new positive thoughts and beliefs about yourself as well what our bodies do for us.
I would describe myself as welcoming, direct and relatable. I like to provide feedback in a way that decreases any negative beliefs but also allow you to identify thoughts and behaviors that may be impacting your mental health. I show up as my true self, which I believe helps and encourages clients to do so as well.
