New to Grow
Hi, I'm Tracey Babb-Morman, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's most challenging seasons. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, and emotional changes. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I believe healing begins when you feel genuinely seen and understood, not judged. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop tools that help you move toward the life you want with greater clarity and confidence. I especially enjoy working with helping professionals, caregivers, women navigating perimenopause & midlife transitions, and individuals who have spent so much time caring for others that they've lost sight of themselves.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a relaxed, supportive environment. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's been weighing on you, and what you hope will be different as a result of our work together. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. We'll identify your immediate concerns, discuss your goals, and begin developing a plan that feels realistic and personalized to your needs. Many clients tell me they leave their first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful.
I bring over two decades of counseling experience, along with a calm, authentic presence that helps clients feel safe enough to do meaningful work. I blend evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and person-centered counseling to meet each client where they are. My background includes supporting people through anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, career stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I also have a passion for helping women understand the emotional and mental health changes that can occur during midlife and perimenopause, an area that is often overlooked. Clients appreciate that I balance empathy with honest, thoughtful feedback. Therapy with me isn't just about talking through problems; it's about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change.
I work best with adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, life transitions, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, and the emotional challenges of midlife and perimenopause. Many of my clients are caregivers, helping professionals, parents, or high achievers who feel overwhelmed after years of putting others first. They are ready to gain insight, develop practical coping skills, establish healthier boundaries, and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive, collaborative environment.
Other specialties
I identify as
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while learning to respond in ways that align with their values. Rather than fighting difficult emotions or trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought, we work on building psychological flexibility, increasing self-compassion, and taking meaningful action toward the life they want.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to explore how early relationships and life experiences may influence the way clients connect with themselves and others. Together, we identify patterns in relationships, emotional responses, and coping strategies while building a stronger sense of safety, trust, and connection. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a space where clients can experience healthy communication, validation, and support.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier perspectives, and practice practical coping strategies to manage anxiety, stress, mood challenges, and life transitions. CBT provides clients with tools they can apply both inside and outside of therapy.
Grief Therapy
I use grief therapy to support clients as they process loss, change, and transitions that impact their sense of self and their future. Grief is not limited to the loss of a person; it can also occur with changes in relationships, health, identity, roles, dreams, or life circumstances. I provide a compassionate space to explore emotions, honor what has been lost, and begin creating meaning and hope moving forward.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use IFS to help clients better understand the different “parts” of themselves that influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This approach helps clients develop curiosity and compassion toward the parts of themselves that may feel anxious, overwhelmed, protective, or critical. Through this process, clients can strengthen self-awareness, heal past wounds, and create greater internal balance.
