Hi! I'm Tracy Clarke, and I'm glad you have found my profile! I received my master's degree from California University of Pennsylvania, and I have been working in mental health since 2016. I am currently in my last semester of a PhD program in counselor education and supervision from Waynesburg University. My approach is eclectic, and I utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) on a regular basis, as well as aspects of existential theory. I am highly specialized in addictions counseling. I also have over a decade of experience working with individuals with disabilities, including autism and intellectual disabilities. I believe the therapeutic alliance is the cornerstone of successful therapy. I work on building trust and professional relationships, so that we may work together to tackle your adversities. I use a variety of techniques to help you accomplish your goals, which are based on your individual needs and preferences. I look forward to working with you in the future!

Your pain deserves space to breathe and be heard. Your authentic self deserves tending to. Being human is hard work. In the limited time we exist, we have countless choices to make as we shape the direction and purpose of our lives. In our struggles, perhaps we may feel phony, unsure of ourself, pressured to hide or distort our feelings and thoughts. We may feel paralyzed when trying to make the “right” decisions. We may feel deeply isolated, unable to sustain relationships where we are cherished exactly as we are. We may be haunted by past traumas and unable to forgive. Or we may wonder about our life's meaning. Counseling is a way to explore these and other concerns that are part of being alive. As a humanistic counselor, I am here to hold space for your pain and the story of who you are, and help you make meaning of your experiences. I can offer you a safe and confidential sanctuary where you can express yourself freely, without judgment or criticism. I would be honored to support you as we talk through the fearful, tragic, and chaotic parts of life; connect to your authentic self and genuine feelings; and make meaningful choices about how you care for yourself and your pain, and how you wish to show up in the world. Welcome. May you continue to find your courage to ask for help when you need it.
