Stacy L. Baron, Psy.D.
For the majority of her career, Dr. Baron has specialized in working with young children in therapy and conducting assessments for emotional issues, school readiness, learning disabilities and ADHD. Dr. Baron enjoys the practical application of psychology in assisting children and their parents with the challenges of home and school life. Thus her work has included collaborating with parents and schools to provide practical recommendations for both academic and behavioral improvement.
Additionally, after her own positive natural birthing experiences, Dr. Baron became a certified HypnoBirthing(R) instructor who helps prepare parents for birth using the HypnoBirthing(R) method. She continued her instruction to also become a certified HypnoBirthing(R) Fertility therapist, assisting couples with fertility issues. Due to these experiences, Dr. Baron understands that the pregnancy and birth of a child holds many expectations which can be unmet or can lead to unanticipated feelings, thus many of her clients come to her with post-partum issues, including post-partum depression.
Dr. Baron holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from University of Missouri-Columbia, a Master of Arts degree in clinical psychology from Loyola College in Maryland and a Doctorate of Psychology from Florida Tech. She presently lives in Leesburg, Virginia with her husband, two sons and daughter.
