Tracey Holmes
With over a decade of experience supporting adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families, I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University in Garden City, and since then, I've dedicated my career to helping clients navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship struggles, family dynamics, or simply feeling stuck, l offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions. My goal is to help you shift your perspective, uncover strengths, and build meaningful change-one step at a time. I believe therapy is not just about healing, but about growth. Together, we'll work to improve your outlook and empower you to move with confidence.
With over a decade of experience working across culturally diverse communities, I bring a deep passion for service and a commitment to meaningful change.
First session
In our first session together, we'll begin with what I call the "Get to Know You Game" —a light, interactive way to break the ice and help us connect. From there, we'll gently explore the specific challenges you're facing. This process allows me to understand your unique story and create a personalized plan tailored to your goals. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or growth, our work together will be rooted in empathy, insight, and a shared commitment to change.
Strengths
With over a decade of experience working across culturally diverse communities, I bring a deep passion for service and a commitment to meaningful change. I've had the privilege of supporting adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families through life's most complex challenges-always with empathy, respect, and collaboration at the core. I believe that every obstacle holds the potential for transformation. My role is to help clients reframe opposition as opportunity, and to walk alongside them as they begin to make a difference in their own lives. Through a tailored, client-centered approach, I work to create a safe space where healing begins and growth takes root. Let's work together to uncover your strengths, clarify your goals, and build a path forward-one that feels authentic, empowered, and aligned with who you truly are
Ideal clients
I'm especially well-suited to support individuals who are navigating: • Ongoing stress, overwhelm, or burnout • Anxiety that affects daily functioning • Low mood, emotional fatigue, or difficulty staying motivated • Life transitions such as career changes, relationship shifts, or identity exploration • Interpersonal challenges and patterns that feel hard to break • A desire for more stability, confidence, or emotional resilience
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate various therapy techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to aid individuals in recognizing and cultivating meaningful relationships with their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize different therapy approaches, like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to aid individuals in advancing their understanding and proficiency in managing emotions, coping with distress, enhancing interpersonal skills, and cultivating mindfulness in their lives and interactions.
Family Therapy
I employ evidence-based techniques in family therapy to gain a deep understanding of the family system and effectively guide them towards achieving a harmonious balance of communication and function. My approach emphasizes enhancing the overall interactions between family members as a cohesive unit, rather than solely focusing on individual family members.
Couples Counseling
Building strong relationships is essential for a fulfilling life, and counseling provides couples with a valuable opportunity to lay a solid foundation and nurture their bond from the very beginning. No matter where individuals and couples find themselves in their journey, counseling offers a precious opportunity for personal growth and relationship investment.
