About Gemma
Retired psychologist, curious neuroscientist, blended with the honesty of a loyal friend and the compassion of a loving mother.
I’m Gemma Stone
I’m a retired psychologist, executive coach, speaker, author, and — like you — I’m a full human being with a long, rich story that motivates what I do.
My journey to founding Stone Psychology began on my 25th birthday.
While soaking in a bubble bath, sipping on champagne, and nibbling on chocolate, I started to cry.
I didn’t like myself. I didn’t like my life. And in that moment, I realized that the thing controlling me? Was fear.
- Fear of vulnerability.
- Fear of rejection
- Fear of failure.
- Fear of not being enough.
I’d built my life on a foundation of fear and I was depressed, anxious, and unfulfilled.
That moment, where I felt so low, actually proved to be a peak experience in my life, a quarter-century epiphany, if you will: from that moment on, I committed to live from a place of love, rather than fear, and to help others do the same.
I started Stone Psychology to help people like you heal their past, in order to fully embrace their present, and live a life they love. Because when we live a life we love—that’s when the future begins to glow strong and bright.
We always have a choice—love or fear—and what we choose changes everything.

I am ready to help.
No matter what kind of change you want to make, I have tools and processes that can help.
Whether you,
:: are struggling with a specific problem {depression, anxiety, unhealthy habits, addiction, burnout}
:: are navigating a difficult change {death, divorce, loss, relocation, mid-life crisis, heartbreak}
:: have a vision of how you want your life to be and you’re not sure how to get from here to there
:: are looking to use the science of psychology to help you pursue excellence and be a high performer
:: feel like you are drowning in the mundane details of life and are longing for fulfillment, meaning, and purpose
:: don’t know what you want out of your life, but you know you want something different from what you have right now
We start with where you are at and work together to support the evolution you want to experience.
“Your life is too precious to waste another moment feeling stuck.”
