After more than 24 years as a licensed therapist working with children and teens at risk of su***de, Stacy has seen firsthand how devastating it can be when young people feel unseen, unheard, or misunderstood.

This book was born from those experiences; from witnessing the profound struggles children face and realizing that sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do isn’t to have all the answers, but to truly listen.

Stacy wrote Dancing in the Gray to provide guidance for parents, caregivers, and educators on how to listen with empathy, practical tools to recognize warning signs and support children in crisis, real-life stories that bring understanding and hope, and insights into the complex factors that impact youth mental health.

For many, therapy feels mysterious or intimidating; filled with assumptions about long sessions, endless talk, or being “fixed.” The truth is much simpler: therapy is a space to explore, reflect, and grow with support.

In a typical session, you might:

🗨️ Talk about what’s weighing on your mind

🔍 Explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, or relationships

🛠️ Learn practical strategies to cope with stress, anxiety, or difficult feelings

🤝 And sometimes, simply sit with someone who listens without judgment

Therapy is about creating a safe, confidential environment where you can understand yourself, build emotional resilience, and take actionable steps toward meaningful change.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to start therapy or felt unsure about taking that first step, remember: it’s okay to be curious, it’s okay to feel hesitant, and it’s okay to seek support.

Black-and-white thinking creates some of the most common stuck points. Not because people are rigid, but because stress narrows our cognitive and emotional range.

We begin telling ourselves things like:

• “If I can’t do everything, I’ll do nothing.”

• “If I feel uncertain, it means I’m on the wrong path.”

These narratives feel decisive, but they’re actually restrictive. They compress our options, silence our intuition, and push us toward choices rooted in fear rather than clarity.

The gray, the space between the extremes, is where flexibility returns. This is the heart of Dancing in the Gray: strengthening our ability to tolerate nuance so we can create more grounded, sustainable change in our lives.

Guiding your child through mental health challenges isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about supporting them through the unknown.

Here are three steps to take if you notice their struggles:

1️⃣ Listen with compassion and understanding; judgment-free conversations can go a long way.

2️⃣ Validate their feelings; ensure they know that their emotions matter and their voices are heard.

3️⃣ Explore options for therapy. A therapist can be instrumental in providing you with resources and ensuring you don't feel alone on this journey.

Sometimes the most healing words aren’t “Here’s what you should do", they’re “I hear you.”

Validation is incredibly powerful. It tells people that you understand their feelings, they’re not alone, and they don’t have to defend what they feel.

Next time someone opens up to you, consider shifting the way you respond.

Try:

🗣 “That sounds really hard.”
🗣 “I can see why you’d feel that way.”
🗣 “I’m here with you.”

You might be surprised how much comfort just a few words can bring.

Every child faces challenges, and helping them develop healthy coping skills early on can make all the difference.

Here are a few strategies to try:

Encourage open conversations about feelings.

Create a calming space where they can decompress.

Model coping behaviors (deep breathing, journaling, taking breaks).

Validate their emotions; remind them it’s okay to feel sad, angry, or anxious.

Parenting isn’t about fixing every feeling. It’s about walking beside them as they learn to manage their emotions.

Setting healthy boundaries isn’t about pushing people away; it’s about protecting your peace so you can show up fully.

Here are a few gentle reminders:

💬 1. Boundaries are a form of self-respect. They tell others how to love and treat you.

🌱 2. It’s okay to say no. You don’t owe an explanation for honoring your limits.

🕊 3. Boundaries can coexist with compassion. You can care deeply and still choose what’s right for you.

☕️ 4. Guilt doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It often means you’re doing something new, and that’s growth.

Remember: boundaries aren’t walls. They’re doors that open toward healthier connections.

Self-care tip of the week!

Supporting others can be beneficial, but on the flip side, it can also be draining.

It's so important to remember that you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Take a moment to check in with yourself. Breathe. Step outside. Journal. Say no when you need to.

Your well-being matters just as much as the people you care for. Refilling your cup isn’t selfish; it’s how you keep showing up with love and strength.
