Stacy Gordon-Studnik received her bachelor's degree with a major in psychology/business from the University of Florida. She received her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and completed her internship at The Mailman Segal Center for Human Growth and Development in the early childhood education program and The Baudhuin School at NSU specializing in families with children on the Autism Spectrum. While there, she facilitated parent/sibling/grandparent support groups, social skills groups, provided individual and family counseling, offered educational workshops and trainings for parents and caregivers, and proposed techniques and strategies for behavior modification for caregivers to use with their children and families. At Nova Southeastern University she worked with the Access Plus Program co-facilitating support groups with college students on the Autism spectrum. She provided psycho-educational workshops, group activities, and implemented interventions and strategies with students.
Stacy is continuing her Doctoral studies at Nova Southeastern University focusing on Couples and Family Therapy. She believes clients have the answers they need within themselves and works through empathy and compassion to help bring about the desired understanding and change they are seeking. She is dedicated to working collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to set and achieve their goals.
Stacy has lived in South Florida for 42 years. She has loved raising her three children to adulthood and continues to enjoy a close relationship with them. She is also a grandma to two grandchildren and continues to be close and engaged with the four generations of family living together in the south Florida area. Since she comes from a large family, Stacy understands family dynamics and inter-generational issues. She can relate to the issues surrounding caregiving, end of life care, and sibling challenges, just as much as she understands happy challenges with additions to the family through birth and marriage. Having raised her three kids she also knows the stages and phases that children and parents go through.
Stacy feels connected to her South Florida community and has spent 30 years involved in volunteerism, leadership and philanthropy. Being an active member of her local and global community is critically important to her.
