Tracie Tracy
I am a caring, empathetic and attentive therapist who values creating a safe place and supportive environment where individuals feel heard, understood and respected. I am a great listener and problem solver with a Family Systems, EFT, and Solution Focused approach. I support clients in navigating challenges to work toward meaningful change. I have a strong ability to recognize patterns, identify underlying causes contributing to presenting concerns and help clients develop practical strategies for moving forward, I am compassionate and committed to each individual's growth and remain focused on supporting clients in building the insight and confidence and skills needed to create lasting change.
First session
My goal is to learn about what brought the person to therapy, acknowledge their concerns and begin to identify patterns, experiences and factors that are contributing to what they are experiencing. I will begin by listening to the history of the concerns and discuss the client's goals for therapy to identify steps towards positive change.
Strengths
I believe in working with my clients to identify realistic steps towards growth and positive change. My goal is not only to support clients in navigating what they are experiencing, but also to empower them to better understand themselves and build tools and confidence to thrive.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are couples, individuals, and families who are seeking support, greater understanding and meaningful change in their lives and relationships. I work well with clients who are open to exploring the underlying patterns, thoughts and emotions, and experiences that may be contributing to their challenges. I aim to create a place where everyone feels heard and valued. I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to gain insight, develop practical tools, and take meaningful steps towards healthier relationships, improved wellbeing and a more fulfilling life.
Treatment methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
My approach to Emotionally Focused Therapy is to help clients identify and process difficult emotions, memories, and patterns and to assist clients in identifying cycles. I guide clients through the process of identifying and exploring the deeper needs and emotions beneath those patterns and develop healthier ways of communicating and connecting. This in turn creates opportunities for greater empathy and connection and trust in their relationships and with themselves.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
In my approach to solution focused therapy, I assist clients in identifying their strengths and acknowledging what they want their lives to look like to support them in creating ways to achieve those goals.
