Stacy holds a bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Georgia and a graduate degree from Brenau University in Clinical Counseling Psychology. In addition to being fully licensed by the state of Georgia, she is a Nationally Certified Counselor. While working with clients on a number of common issues, such as depression and anxiety, Stacy also provides sex therapy sessions for individuals and couples at Oasis Counseling Center and has received over 150 hours of specialized training in the field of sexuality.

Stacy highlights person-centered and solution-focused therapies in her counseling, but utilizes a number of cognitive-behavioral techniques to aid clients with achieving their goals. She provides support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. Stacy encourages clients to actively work on their own healing and to make healthy decisions that will allow them to move forward in their lives.

Stacy's experience in working with clients with past trauma comes from working with Project Safe, Inc., a non-profit domestic violence organization, for over eight years as an advocate and a counselor. Because of this experience, she has a unique specialty in working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual trauma. During her time at Project Safe, Stacy coordinated workshops, provided individual counseling, and facilitated support groups for women, caregivers of children affected by domestic violence, and adolescents. She possesses a special passion for helping trauma survivors on their healing journey. Over the years, Stacy has worked with clients from a variety of different backgrounds, including a number of different religious faiths, lifestyles, and family make-ups. Like all of the counselors at Oasis Counseling Center, she strives to meet clients where they are with whatever situation they find themselves navigating.

A long-time Athens area resident, Stacy lives with her husband of twenty years and their teenaged son. Stacy enjoys reading, crafty activities, camping, and spending time with her large extended family.

Stacy facilitates Life After Diagnosis: A Support Group for Managing Chronic Illness at OCC. This group allows group members to connect with others dealing with the on-going challenges of functioning with a chronic condition. In a supportive environment, group members learn to increase their coping skills, examine the effects of nutrition and physical activity on their illness, and develop strategies to manage emotions, stress, and depression.

Robyn Mosley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

Robyn obtained both her undergraduate degree in Social Work and her master's degree in Counseling from Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA. She has experience counseling people who are dealing with a wide array of struggles, such as depression, anxiety, stress, phase of life issues, body image issues, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and grief and loss.

Through her work with victims of PTSD and domestic violence, Robyn has counseled those who have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual trauma. Robyn feels issues relating to a person's sexuality are deeply personal and should be treated with respect and without judgement when they are dealt with in therapy.

Robyn has over 12 years of experience in counseling. She has lived and worked extensively with people from other cultures and religious backgrounds as well as cross-cultural settings. Robyn has interacted both professionally and personally with people from a number of countries, including countries in Central and South America, Africa, some areas of Asia, and the Middle East. Because of Robyn’s experiences with people from so many backgrounds, she is very open-minded and culturally aware.

Robyn sees the counselor as someone to walk alongside the client in therapy. The client, in turn, takes an active role in the therapy process. Together they seek to understand the factors causing pain and distress.

Robyn borrows from Adlerian and Family Systems therapies. She also uses some expressive therapy and bibilotherapy in her work with clients.

Robyn is a Christian and is comfortable addressing counseling issues through the Christian faith. She loves art, writing, and travel. She can often be found curled up reading a good book, sipping a warm cup of coffee with her cat by her side.
