Traci is so kind and compassionate! She showed me how to Reframe My Thoughts through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), which is literally changing my life. Thank you soooo much Traci and may God bless you richly!!

Written on Feb 11, 2022 after therapy with Traci for 3 days on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, and compassion fatigue

Absolutely amazing, I’ve actually been through a embarrassing 11 therapist until I found Traci, she cares, and she genuinely wants to help. Little did she know, I was done trying if she didn’t work out, she gave me the hope I needed, I would refer Traci to my own children. If there are 5 stars she gets 10

Traci really pays attention to the small details in my words and behaviors, and is extremely empathetic but firm when she needs to be. I really appreciate her guidance and support.

Written on Apr 02, 2021 after therapy with Traci for 2 weeks

teen counseling and Traci’s positive interaction with my 18 year old son has far exceeded my expectations. My son can schedule time with Traci when he needs help and support the most and Traci has updated me frequently. She is terrific.

Written on Feb 09, 2021 after therapy with Traci for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and anger management

Traci is amazing! I’ve seen other therapist but I have never built the relationship and made the progress with them that I’ve made with her over just a couple of weeks. I’ve struggled with the same issues for years without any progress, and in just a short amount of time Traci has informed me and helped me define and process many of my thoughts and feelings about my experiences and develop positive ways to move forward. She has genuinely given me different and positive perspectives on my experiences, offered me support and reassurance in areas that I need it, and genuinely cares about helping me. She is so unbelievably kind and truly an authentic person and therapist. I’m so grateful to have found her!

Traci makes me feel very comfortable throughout our sessions. She is very patient and understanding and really opened my eyes to a lot of things that I was not seeing in the past! I definitely recommend her expertise to others!!

I am very pleased with the advice and therapy received by Traci. She made me feel very comfortable and reassured me that I could be completely open with her about myself and my feelings. She always replied in a timely manner with words of encouragement and suggestions on how I could move forward past my struggles. I truly feel reaching out for help was the best choice I’ve made for myself in a very long time.

Traci is exactly what I need in a therapist and I have SEARCHED for a good fit ever since my beloved therapist passed away of cancer 10 years ago. I very much need tools to help manage my anxiety and depression and since session number one she’s given me practical advice and resources that have helped me relax and avoid unnecessary conflict.

Written on May 08, 2020 after therapy with Traci for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, anger management, and compassion fatigue

Traci has been such a big help in understanding the mental problems I face. She is super understanding and is able to deconstruct my ramblings in an extremely useful manner. She's helped categorize and explain the feelings I have and why they have been the way they are. I would 100% recommend her.

Work with me!
