“What I value most from working with Stacie is the ability to identify when I am ‘flooding’, the person I become when I’m in that mental state, and what I need to do to not act in that manner. The ability to know when I’m in the ‘details’ and not talking about how I’m feeling and what I need changed, because ‘details’ only ever creates further arguments. Also, the ability to see these traits in my partner to help guide us to more productive conversations. I learned what specifically triggers strong emotions from me and my partner and was shown the pattern of that happening over and over again. This knowledge has helped us be more aware of each other’s wants and needs. Purely listening and paying attention to how Stacie speaks (not only during her lessons to us), she is a great mentor on how to further increase my own abilities to communicate well.”
“I found my confidence in myself again and learned to believe in myself. I now set boundaries and stand up for myself. I am a worthy individual no matter what happens in my life.”
“What I found most helpful is how to convey my feelings and needs to my husband while using a softer approach. I am a very straightforward person but understand that my delivery can oftentimes hinder the message. I’m constantly working to perfect that.”
“Stacie really does a good job counseling couples. She is easy to talk to, almost as if you are talking to an old girlfriend. The thing I appreciate the most is she is fair. You really get a sense that she wants to see the couple she counsels win! She will hold you accountable and give you the tools to do the work!”
“Being in a room together, with someone whose only concern was helping us become more aware of ourselves, each other, and how we both impact the success of our marriage was helpful. Ms. Hildebrand is a fantastic listener, communicator and educator. We have both learned a lot about ourselves, each other and our marriage. We have never been happier!”
“I have learned how to communicate better in every relationship. I truly believe if we hadn’t come to you, we would no longer be married. “
“You have a gift and we are grateful we were referred to you. Able to explain our issues easily and give great feedback on how to effectively communicate and see all sides.”
“Helpful to have someone there to talk to who was not emotionally involved, and someone to help work through some things from my past that had not been identified by me prior to counseling.“
“This has been a catalyst for change in our marriage, our parenting, and our friendship. Just like a tree, a marriage is either growing and dining and we are back to growing. We still have lots of fertilizing and work ahead of us, but we are back on track.”
“Husband and I were able to talk candidly about tough subjects. The materials Stacie provided for us were very helpful and we still use them. It is tough to do virtual counseling, but it was the safest choice given the circumstances.”
“The things I found most helpful about counseling was she helped us maneuver through difficult situations, virtual was an option so we didn’t waste time commuting, and a very experienced therapist.”
“Stacie provided my husband and I with real examples/experiences to support us in our challenging areas. I shared with her also that she would restate items I was trying to convey during sessions as if she was inside of my brain. I often referred to Stacie as a “Wordsmith”
