She has worked with issues surrounding sexual abuse, physical abuse, identity surrounding adoption and race, traumas, depression and other mood disorders. Stormey began her own therapy practice, Radiant 828 where she served primarily transracial adoptees and other BIPOC individuals. In recent weeks she has merged with Focal Point, a company she co founded.Focal Point is an agency that provides clinically informed services and resources for transracially adopted individuals and families and provides agencies with this supportive training.
