Stacy Barnard
Associate Consultant and Coach
With nearly 15 years of experience supporting young people and their families in therapeutic settings, Stacy brings a grounded, compassionate approach to her work at Journey to Better. As Associate Consultant, she partners closely with families as they navigate complex emotional, behavioral, and therapeutic challenges, helping them move toward greater clarity, connection, and support.
Drawing from her background in residential treatment, admissions, family support, mentorship, and therapeutic programming, Stacy offers both practical guidance and a steady presence throughout the process. She works collaboratively with families, providers, and treatment teams while helping identify individualized paths forward for each young person’s unique needs.
Stacy is also a certified coach who works with select young adults during times of transition, self-doubt, and change. She is passionate about helping others reconnect with who they are, what inspires them, and how to move forward with more ease. Her approach involves honest conversation, small shifts, and steady support to help young people get unstuck.
A lifelong learner herself, Stacy also identifies as a mother (adoptive, bereaved, and IVF), wife, sister, daughter, and friend; someone who deeply values authenticity and makes space for play whenever possible.
