Meet Lacey
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
What it’s like to grow up with instability, trauma, or emotional neglect.
Living with CPTSD and ADHD — including shame, overwhelm, and self-doubt.
How hard it can be to ask for help, regulate emotions, or feel safe with others.
The long, non-linear process of healing and building a life that feels like yours.
The desire for deeper connection, authenticity, and self-trust.
My clients describe me using words like…
Warm, grounded, and easy to open up to.
Deeply present and emotionally attuned.
Compassionate, curious, and supportive.
Someone who brings depth, humour, and safety.
A person who genuinely cares.

Booking FAQ
Does Lacey offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.
How do I know if Lacey is a good fit?
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.
What if I see no available times to book a session?
If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
