Stacy Bonds, PhD

My practice provides individual and couple therapy to adults. I specialize in treated trauma, anxiety disorders, and OCD. Approximately 25% of my clinical work is focused on the treatment of OCD. I provide ERP and I-CBT for OCD treatment. I have a passion for walking alongside people in the midst of struggle. When you come to therapy, it’s like you are trying to climb a mountain; I am not at the top of your mountain but, rather, on another mountain, offering a different perspective, pointing out potential dangers, and helping you find the most effective path along your journey.

I received my PhD from the University of North Texas. My doctoral internship was completed with VA Portland Healthcare System and postdoctoral residency at VA San Diego Healthcare System.

Since 2021, I have completed intensive trainings in ERP, including EX/RP training with Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety (CTSA) and BTTI with IOCDF. I remain engaged in ongoing OCD consultation groups.

As a bisexual, fat femme, I think intersectionality is essential and strive to meet you at the intersections of your identities and lived experience. I deeply value providing LGBTQIA+ Affirming therapy and approximately 50% of my clinical practice is with gender and sexual minorities.

My doctoral research address LGBTQIA+ Health. I have trained in numerous VA systems and have expertise working with Veterans. Additionally, I have completed readings and trainings on working with diverse communities (e.g., disabilities, neurodivergence, trans and non-binary, perinatal populations, race + ethnicity, non-monogamy). I want to work to understand your lived experience and how it informs your life and well-being.
