Stacie Sexton (she/they) is a Certified Social Worker and reproductive justice organizer based in Lexington, Kentucky. Her primary identity markers include non-binary gender, Autistic, and Appalachian. Stacie believes that an individualized approach to therapy is the most important part of reclaiming function, regulation, and pleasure in our lives. She is most passionate about working with folks experiencing sexual wellness concerns, complex trauma, general anxiety, neurodivergence, and gender questioning/identity exploration. Stacie understands that it is difficult to find a trauma-informed therapist who is identity and disability affirming; she has years of experience with helping folks in marginalized communities meet their wellness goals. She is happy to speak with you about how to incorporate therapy into your wellness journey.

Before coming to Better Mental Health KY, Stacie served as staff therapist at Open Doors Counseling Center and Project Director of Kentucky Health Justice Network’s All Access EKY, a program to bring comprehensive birth control to coalfield Kentuckians. She has previously worked with Appalshop in Whitesburg, KY, completed research with Homeward Bound in Asheville, NC to guide interventions for incarcerated LGBTQ+ women in Buncombe County, and published additional peer-reviewed research on queer representations in new media. She currently serves on the Social Services Advisory Board for Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government.

 

Stacie holds membership with American Association for Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and American Society for Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and is working toward sex therapy certification.
