I'm Stacy Ann-Harrington Remy, the owner of As Special as Can Be, LLC, a woman-owned small business. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington state with over sixteen years of experience, specializing in helping adults, children, youth, and families dealing with behavioral concerns, depression, anxiety, and trauma. 

In 2007, after the birth of my eldest nephew, I was inspired to write my first poem. This led to creating poems for each of my five nephews and my own children. While crafting a poem for my son, the idea of turning it into a children's book emerged, eventually becoming the 'As Special as Can Be' book series, currently in the works for publication. The title of this book series inspired the name of my business. 

My mission is to assist others in managing everyday stresses by teaching simple yet effective skills like mindfulness techniques, affirmations, and daily gratitude practices. As a therapist, I recognize the uniqueness of each individual, acknowledging that many have faced real trauma and challenges. If any of these skills prove helpful in enhancing someone's emotional well-being, then the effort I've invested is worthwhile. We all have our unique stories to share, and I hope to be a reminder that you are "as special as can be."

Whether you purchase a Gratitude Journal or a Daily Mindfulness Practice Cootie Catcher (digital download), you will also receive education on the chosen coping skill, a related poem written by myself and personally created artwork. The "As Special as Can Be" children's book series features love stories written in rhyme. The first book in the series, also titled As Special as Can Be, is now available.

The writing is inclusive and dedicated to diversity, inclusion, and equity. Stories are relevant for all children, regardless of ethnicity or background, and for children raised by their biological parents, adoptive parents, in relative/caregiver placements, or for children in the foster care system. The stories represent each child's countless special qualities and uniqueness, while highlighting the importance of values, differences, choices, and emotions.
