Hi, my name is Stacey Simpson and I became a licensed counselor, coach, and college psychology and health & wellness professor to help people become the best they can be in every way.  Over the past 30 years I have worked with thousands of clients and students to help them create meaning, fulfillment, balance, success, love and happiness in their lives.

I’ve been fortunate enough to gain education and experience in a variety of disciplines that help people lead positive healthy lives. I have an undergraduate degree in Business and Psychology and a Master’s degree from Villanova University in Counseling and Human Relations.  After graduate school, I  became a certified Trainer and Teacher of NLP, HNLP, Hypnosis, Reiki, Meditation Life Coaching, and Certified Yoga Teacher RYT200. I’m trained as a Divorce Mediator, Co-Parent Counselor, and Single Mom Coach. I read, learn, and attend trainings from the leading edge thinkers, scientists and spiritual leaders of our time, and apply that in my work to help people live lives of true connection, love and joy. I’ve studied with Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, Wayne Dyer, Mel Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Amy Porterfield, Stu McClaren, Gabby Bernstein, Fabienne Fredrickson and many others over the past 30 years.

In 1997, I became the founder and director of The Life Connection (TLC), offering coaching, counseling, classes and resources for Creating Your Best Life. I have taught certification trainings in NLP, HNLP, Hypnosis, Reiki, Coaching and many additional personal and professional development trainings. For many years I have taught a variety of psychology classes at many colleges and universities including Drexel and Princeton University.  Some of the college courses I’ve taught include Intro to Psychology, Group Counseling 1&2, Holistic Health, Personal Health and Wellness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I specialize in working with positive, healthy people to create healthy habits and their best lives.  This includes divorced and single parents as well as single parent empty nesters and almost emptynesters to transition and create their next chapter in life.

Over the years I’ve worked in many different types of counseling settings including in-patient, partial, community mental health, managed care, group practices and school settings  as a school guidance counselor (K-12) and college counselor.   I am able to use a blend of traditional and holistic modalities to help my clients in whatever way works best for them. For the past 26 years I’ve had a private practice and worked with individual, couples, and families to help  them make transformational changes in their lives.

When I’m not teaching and coaching, I enjoy reading, yoga, socializing, networking, attending workshops, classic and indie rock concerts, and spending quality time with the people I love. In my spare time I rescue dogs and volunteer at 3 dog rescues and especially focus on senior, medical needs and special needs rescue dogs. I’m currently in PA and I’m a recent emptynester and love to spend time with my college-aged daughter Skyler and our senior rescue dog Bodhi.
