Our Philosophy

Healing Begins When You Can Exhale

A Mental Health & Wellness Sanctuary

At Harmony Harbor, we invite you into a nurturing space, thoughtfully designed to restore balance and renew the whole self—mind, body, and spirit. We believe true healing unfolds when every part of you is cared for, and our intention is to create lasting transformation that resonates beyond the therapy room. Here, every person is welcomed with warmth, honored in their individuality, and supported in a sanctuary where they can feel safe, seen, and deeply valued.

Our Mission

To restore and transform lives through proven counseling and holistic wellness practices.

At Harmony Harbor We are Guided by Our Core Values

We Serve with Purpose

Community is at the heart of our mission. We intend to effect positive change as mental health advocates which includes improving access to care. By participating in local events, speaking engagements, and partnerships with aligned local businesses, providers, and non-profits, we work to expand access to evidence-based therapeutic services for our community.

We Integrate Holistic Practices

Our approach is integrative, combining therapeutic and wellness practices to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. By supplementing our therapeutic interventions with proven holistic wellness practices, we augment our clients’ individual path to healing.

We Embrace Authenticity & Inclusion

We are deeply committed to a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work-culture and practice. We cultivate an environment where our clients and providers feel encouraged to be themselves and celebrated for their individuality and vulnerability.

We Invest in Quality

Our dedication to quality shines through in every aspect of our practice. Our commitment is seen in our intentionally designed office setting, which offers a welcoming and comforting retreat-like setting and a safe harbor for our clients.

We Strive for Excellence

Our passion for mental health and wellness drives us to continually seek out and implement the most effective methods of care. We are dedicated to the continuous pursuit of education and learning, ensuring we can provide the most informed care for your healing journey.

We Cultivate Connection

We believe in the strength of teamwork, both within our practice and in partnership with our community. It’s a hallmark of our business to promote strong, lasting bonds within our team and to work collaboratively both in the office on behalf of our clients and out in the community.

Diversity & Social Justice in Mental Health

Harmony Harbor is a safe space for individuals of all races, cultures, religions, gender identity or expression, sexual orientations, political affiliation, and national origin. We are dedicated to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion and connectedness that sees, reflects, and celebrates diversity.

We also recognize that it is harder for certain persons to attend therapy, such as those who are marginalized, targeted, or oppressed. While respecting individual differences is a professional ethic our entire team honors and upholds, we especially want persons who are BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ to know that we see you, support you, and stand with you.

We further understand that access to quality mental health care is not a given for all individuals, especially those from underrepresented groups. Often, not only are marginalized persons underserved, they may not even consider seeking much needed care. Harmony Harbor clinicians recognize this challenge, continue to stay informed on relevant concerns like systemic racism, gender inequality, and LGBTQ+ marginalization, and are active in the community as advocates.

We get how hard it is to make that call and make every effort to ease the process of reaching out.

Our Story

In 2013, after a personal and transformational experience with DBT, Dr. Stacy founded Harmony Harbor Counseling with a passion to serve the Sarasota & Manatee community and meet a much-needed gap in care. As her journey unfolded, she further explored somatic practices and holistic approaches to healing, which inspired a natural evolution into Harmony Harbor Counseling & Wellness.

Driven by a desire to share this knowledge, she began seeking out like-minded “unicorns” in the field—clinicians who valued DBT, inclusive care, and the vital connection between mind and body. What began as one therapist’s vision and personal healing journey has since grown into a thriving team united by a shared mission.

We are parents, friends, neurodiverse individuals, multilingual speakers, mindfulness practitioners, yoga teachers, outdoor adventurers, animal lovers, and trauma survivors. We show up authentically, integrating the very practices we teach, while also striving for balance in our own lives.
