If you have experienced trauma, you may find it very difficult to trust new people. And many people who have trauma may also have fears about feeling judged, or rejected. It can even feel hard to trust your own mind.

I’m Dr. Tracie Esmond, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Pathway to Wellness Counseling. I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—and together, we work toward clarity, healing, and renewed purpose. Through evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and strength-focused approaches, I help individuals build resilience and reclaim their lives with confidence and compassion. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their next steps. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where they can explore their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. Whether you're coping with grief, struggling with self-esteem, or working through past trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you reclaim a sense of clarity, confidence, and hope. I understand that life doesn’t pause for therapy, which is why I offer convenient online sessions—including evening appointments after 5 PM—to accommodate busy professionals and those with daytime commitments. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and empowered to heal, grow, and thrive. If you're ready to take that first step toward lasting wellness, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute introductory call. Let’s begin your journey together.

Hi there! For the past three years, I’ve had the honor of sitting with people through their real-life ups and downs, helping them build confidence, heal, and feel more connected to themselves. I’m a therapist who keeps it real: open, genuine, and never judgmental. You can talk to me about anything, and my priority is always to make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and never rushed. We’ll go at your pace, together. I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, overthinking, self-doubt, grief, family dynamics, identity questions, and LGBTQ+ support. My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative, we’re a team.

I like to meet my clients where they are in life in a relaxed atmosphere. Even my most skeptical clients had shared they liked the practical and conversational-style sessions. I am passionate about organizing and managing life's challenges in a safe, non-judgmental environment with room to laugh and cry. I help my clients develop the skills and tools they need to navigate their challenges and teach them how to step back and recognize which ones to use in different situations.
