About

Meet Dr. Adriana Stacey

Dr. Adriana Stacey is a board-certified psychiatrist devoted to helping young people thrive in a fast-paced, digital world. She specializes in the mental health of children, adolescents, and young adults—from elementary school through college—with a particular focus on how screens and social media affect mental health, relationships, and resilience.

A native of El Dorado, Arkansas, Dr. Stacey attended the University of Alabama as a Presidential Scholar, earning her Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2000 (Roll Tide!). She went on to receive her M.D. from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), graduating in 2004 as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, and completed her psychiatry residency at the University of Wisconsin in 2008.

Since then, Dr. Stacey has served in a variety of leadership roles, including Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of Inpatient Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist at a community hospital, and Director of a Women’s Mental Health Clinic. Today, she brings that depth of experience to her private practice and to her work as Medical Advisor for ScreenStrong, a national nonprofit dedicated to helping families break free from toxic screen use.

Dr. Stacey’s expertise on the intersection of technology and mental health has been featured in The Washington Post, on The Today Show, and on CNN. In addition to her clinical and advocacy work, she teaches and coaches at Ozark Catholic Academy, Northwest Arkansas’s only Catholic high school, and serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Alice Walton School of Medicine. She is currently pursuing a Master’s in Theological Studies at the Franciscan School of Theology, University of San Diego, where she continues to explore how faith and science can work together to heal and strengthen communities.

A passionate educator and speaker, Dr. Stacey travels nationally and internationally to speak to students, parents, educators, and healthcare professionals about mental health, technology use, and the importance of building authentic human connection in the digital age.

Dr. Stacey lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with her husband and their four children. When she’s not working with students or speaking to audiences, she enjoys reading (you can follow her book recommendations on Instagram @suburban_bibliophile), traveling with family and friends, and cheering for her beloved Alabama Crimson Tide—even though the rest of her household proudly supports the Razorbacks.
