Stacey Dodge
Psy.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Welcome! I am Dr. Stacey Dodge, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy services. With a focus on individual and couples therapy, I specialize in helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, women's issues, empowerment, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, gain insight, and develop the necessary tools to lead fulfilling lives. Whether you are seeking personal growth or healing from past experiences, I am here to guide you on your journey towards mental well-being.
Services
I am currently offering individual and couples therapy via Telehealth only.
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual therapy is a great space to explore any issues you might be having personally, romantically, or professionally. I work 1:1 with clients struggling with anxiety/depression, trauma, creative struggles, women's issues, and identity exploration to help them find positive ways of coping and navigating their lives to become more fulfilled. My approach is relational psychodynamic and collaborative and aims to help you feel empowered in your true narrative.
Couples Psychotherapy
Even the healthiest of couples can find themselves feeling stuck. Whether there might be larger issues such as infidelity or less obvious issues like breakdowns in communication leading to less connection, couples therapy can be a great space to explore the interpersonal dynamics of the relationship and discover new ways to reconnect with one another. My approach with couples is rooted in emotionally focused therapy and aims to help each partner better understand one another in relation to their own unique life experiences, increase empathy, and improve communication.
Fees + Insurance
Please inquire about my current rate. I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots for those in need.
​
Although I do not accept or bill insurance, I am more than happy to assist you in getting reimbursement from your provider if my services are covered by your PPO plan. You are responsible for payment at the time of services rendered. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. I offer a free phone consultation and am happy to discuss any questions around fees/insurance before setting up an initial session.
​
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
My Approach
At the core of my therapeutic philosophy lies a collaborative and relational psychodynamic approach. I firmly believe that the therapeutic journey is a joint exploration, built upon a foundation of trust, mutual respect, and a strong therapeutic alliance. This alliance forms the bedrock upon which progress and transformation are built.
In our work together, I emphasize the profound significance of understanding how our past experiences intricately thread into our present thoughts and behaviors. While delving into the depths of past experiences, my approach remains rooted in the present moment. It's in this fusion of past reflections and present realities that we uncover pathways towards healing and growth.
I hold a fundamental belief that you, as the client, are the foremost expert on your own life. Your experiences, perspectives, and insights are invaluable. My role is that of a compassionate guide, offering support and guidance as we navigate your story together. Sometimes, rewriting our narratives requires gentle yet purposeful exploration, shedding light on patterns that may have shaped your experiences.
Central to my approach is the empowerment of my clients. I strive to create a space where you feel not only heard and understood but also empowered in your own journey. It's about embracing and celebrating who you are and recognizing the strengths and resilience you possess. Together, we work towards fostering a deep sense of empowerment, enabling you to embrace your narrative with confidence and authenticity.
Ultimately, my goal is to support you in discovering and harnessing your inner strength, facilitating a transformative journey towards self-empowerment and a deeper connection with yourself.
