Akira Stuckey

As a licensed mental health counselor, I bring a unique perspective to my work, specializing in complex/ relational trauma treatment. My passion lies in supporting individuals who care for others personally and professionally, such as healthcare providers, therapists, social workers, teachers, parents, daughters/sons, etc. Most of my clients prioritize other people's needs before their own, and despite their passion for helping others, they often feel drained and overwhelmed, neglecting their own self-care needs. For some, caring for others comes naturally, and it may seem unfamiliar to attend to their own needs. Some clients struggle to express their needs at the beginning of their journey. As familial and social expectations and demands increase, the sense of responsibility for caring for others grows even greater while their needs and wishes are left behind. If you're reading this, you likely understand the importance of balancing caring for oneself and others. It's not just a luxury, it's a crucial aspect of thriving in everyday life. My goal is to help you find balance in your life, feel at peace, and be happy while you enjoy your relationships with your partner, family, and friends. You don't need to resign to what it is; you can find the balance you need!

The unconscious mind directs and motivates both positive and negative habitual patterns. Our present-day behaviors and thought patterns are often the result of strategies we developed in childhood to cope with events. Our childhood relational patterns, how we navigate parent-child relationships and social dynamics are deeply engraved within us as conditioning. From the space of survival, we developed strategies to navigate life. This conditioning dictates how we navigate our present-day relationships and life. It’s normal; we all must be loved, accepted, and cared for as a child. Those strategies work very well to keep us safe as children but can also create life challenges in later days. We want more than survival. We want peace, love, balance, and wholeness in our lives. We want to thrive! Though you might be experiencing some difficulties or feeling stuck, you already have all the knowledge and skills you need to navigate the current challenges, become the person you know you truly are, and live your life to its full potential. My role is to empower you to take control of your life and find your way back to inner wisdom. To do this work, I need your full commitment to looking at your life and creating and visualizing your goals. This work is for people who already have done some work through past therapy treatment or self-development and have a good understanding and handling of emotions/ symptoms. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 --------------------------------------------------------------------- I earned a Master’s degree from Antioch University, New England.

My qualifications and experience are here to reassure you that you are in good hands, and you can feel confident and secure in your decision to work with me.
