Hello. I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and I'm also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Illinois. I have worked in the field of Social Work for 25 years at the Bachelor's level, including case management for at-risk youth, CPS investigations and medical social work. I received my Master's of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville and have been practicing five years. At this time, I provide individual therapy to adults dealing with anxiety, depression and trauma among other issues. We work to recognize triggers/barriers to successful living and then learn to effectively reframe these in order to be a better version of yourself.
In our first session together, we will begin with introductions. We will talk in a broad sense about what brought you in today. I will ask you about the treatment goals that you have for yourself. If you don't have any at this time, no worries we can explore those together.
Having been in the field of social work for over twenty years, I feel that I have a great deal of empathy for people in general. I have seen many things and tell clients that they are in a safe space and what they say will not be judged in any way. I also believe I have developed the skill of active listening which is absolutely vital for successful therapy. Together we can identify what your barrier is and develop a treatment plan that will help you be a more successful version of yourself.

I feel like I was talking to someone that really cared about me, like someone ive known for years. She related with me on my Christian faith and I felt very calm and collected after our session. She also made me laugh a few times which was a nice way to break the ice on a first therapy session.

I found Tracy to be very easy to talk to about my issues which isn’t always easy for me. I really enjoyed this first session with her and look forward to building a relationship to further my ability to share more deeply and become more internally/emotionally aligned.

Tracy made me feel very welcome, and we connected on our foundation in Jesus Christ! I look forward to tackling battles and challenges with her in the future.
