Staci Bertagna, LCSW

 I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who declared at age 12 that psychotherapy would be my career path and I have been committed to helping others ever since. I have been a licensed psychotherapist for over ten years and have been working in the field of social work for over 25 years. I have worked with a variety of populations over the span of my career, and my passion is supporting others in finding their own voice and working towards their greatest personal healing. My caseload includes 1st responders, chronic bereavement, medical trauma and medical recovery, sports injury, addiction, and complex trauma. 

I am supportive yet direct as a clinician. My hope is that you can get the most out of our time together and work towards set goals with a direct focus towards what you are hoping to accomplish in therapy.

Beyond standard talk therapy, I am a trained clinician, consultant, and specialty presenter in the modality of Brainspotting and actively utilized this technique as a tool in the therapeutic process. Brainspotting stems off the concept that where we look impacts how we feel and provides a space to emotionally process on a deeper level. I am always happy to share more about Brainspotting and how this modality can aid in personal healing and growth towards goals and desired states of being in life. I am also a trained clinician in Internal Family Systems (IFS), working within the framework that our system is made up of many parts. In connecting to our core self, we are able to work towards understanding these parts more and offering the repair or healing these parts need in order for our system to operate more cohesively.  

When I am not found in the office or assisting with bringing Brainspotting to others throughout the world, I can most often be found on a field cheering on my kids as they play football or soccer. When it's not sports season, I enjoy traveling with family and friends, or feeding my competitive side while trying to beat my kids in a game of cards. I take pride in being active in my community, having sat on a variety of boards and committees over the span of my career and I currently serve on the Shasta Regional Soccer Association Board.
