Likely your first point of contact here at Journey to Better, Stacy Barnard brings a grounded and personalized approach to supporting our families from day one. Having worn many different hats in a variety of therapeutic settings since 2012, including leadership administration, business development, residential management & client mentorship, Stacy brings a wealth of program knowledge and expertise to our team. Of all her roles, she found her heart was most called to helping families through the admissions process. 

As an Admissions Director, Stacy spent many years guiding families past their initial fears of the unknown, to taking that big leap of faith, placing their struggling child in the hands of professionals. A decision that never comes easily, yet it is so often met with relief. Having witnessed that the most fluid and supportive journeys were those of families who worked with Therapeutic & Educational Consultants, Stacy knows first hand the tremendous value of having consultants like Talley in your corner.

Stacy is currently pursuing her coaching certification from an International Coaching Federation-accredited program and aims to interweave these skills into her work assisting Journey to Better clients and families. A student of life, Stacy identifies as a mother (adoptive, bereaved, & IVF), wife, sister, daughter, and friend who values authenticity and play, whenever possible.
