Stacy Fruhling

Stacy Fruhling welcomes people who are ready to pursue meaningful change and offers support grounded in two decades of clinical experience. She earned both a master’s and a bachelor’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Towson University and has worked across school, outpatient, intensive outpatient, and residential settings.

Throughout her career she has focused on a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting and family conflicts, career difficulties, and addictions. Her specialties also include stress, grief, coping with life changes, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, anger management, self-esteem difficulties, and bipolar disorder.

Stacy began her work in the school system as an addictions prevention counselor and has since provided care to children, teens, and adults in community mental health and treatment programs at multiple levels of care.

She is licensed to practice counseling in Maryland and Washington and holds both professional counseling certification and a credential in addictions counseling. Her approach is warm and interactive; she treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels.

Clinically she uses an eclectic mix of methods - drawing on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, gestalt, and systems perspectives - to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs. Stacy aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
