Tracey James
(she/her)
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.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
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.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My work involves providing services to clients with specialized needs, including those dealing with trauma, sex addiction, sex offending, and the LGBTQIA2+ population. I hold certifications as a Sex Addiction Therapist, Sex Offending Treatment Provider, and Rainbow Advocate Clinical Specialist.
