Stacey Lear LCSW, PMH-C

Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist specializing in women’s mental health, perinatal mental health, and life transitions. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and have additional training in mindfulness and clinical trauma.

Before founding Bloom and Thrive Counseling, I worked in a variety of healthcare settings in both clinical and leadership roles. Over time, my work naturally led me toward the area I care most deeply about—supporting women through the emotional challenges and transitions that come with different stages of life.

I work with women and young women (ages 16+) who may be experiencing anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed by life changes. Many of my clients are navigating important transitions such as starting college, emerging adulthood, relationship changes, divorce, pregnancy, new motherhood, or adjusting to life during the postpartum period.

As a therapist with specialized training in perinatal mental health, I also support women through the emotional experiences that can arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and the first year after having a baby. This season of life can be beautiful, but it can also bring unexpected challenges, identity shifts, and feelings that many women are not prepared for.

I also work with women who are healing from difficult family dynamics, learning how to set healthier boundaries, building confidence and self-esteem, or working through patterns that have been holding them back.

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe to be honest, explore what you’re going through, and develop tools that help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself.

You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. My goal is to help you move through life’s transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and support—so you can truly bloom and thrive.
