I am a licensed professional counselor in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico. She holds a master's degree in counseling with a focus on Trauma, Abuse, and Deprivation. She provides treatment for trauma, sexual behaviors, relationships, addictions, mental health, and LGBTQIA2+ issues. Tracey is trained as a CSAT, RACS, and CSOPT. She uses The Meadows Model, Post Inductive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems in her practice. It is crucial to evaluate an individual's needs and address them appropriately. The objective of therapeutic work extends beyond examining the present circumstances; it also involves exploring the root causes of issues. This comprehensive approach not only alleviates current stressors but also fosters understanding and resilience for future challenges.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Therapy aims to support the client by providing an informed and considerate environment that encourages development and resilience. This involves identifying wants and needs, improving communication, learning to establish and uphold boundaries, and aligning actions with personal principles and values. Tracey’s goal and focus of all therapy is on the client, providing a caring, educated, and empathetic environment that fosters growth and resilience. This is done by identifying wants and needs, developing communication, learning how to set and maintain boundaries, while living in congruence with morals and values.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

A key strength as a provider is the capacity to engage with clients and understand their unique perspectives. This involves assessing their desires and requirements to collaboratively establish goals, utilizing a multifaceted approach that remains adaptable over time.
