Stacy Averette, Ed.D.
Stacy helps women navigate the places in life where things feel uncertain, complicated, or difficult to make sense of. She creates a warm, thoughtful space where women can slow down, gain clarity, explore what they’re experiencing, and begin to move forward with greater confidence and peace.
Her work with women may include life transitions, relationships with adult children, questions of identity and purpose, anxiety and fear, grief and loss, or simply finding a way forward when life looks different than they expected.
With two seminary degrees, including a doctorate in Christian education, Stacy brings a biblical perspective to her work. She believes our understanding of who we are, what we believe, and where we find our hope profoundly shapes the way we experience life.
After decades of marriage, motherhood, ministry, teaching, and walking through life’s many transitions herself, Stacy brings both professional training and lived experience to her work with women. Her desire is to help women understand their stories, find hope in the midst of them, and live with greater freedom, purpose, and peace.
