Maybe you have waited a long time to seek help and suffered in silence. Perhaps you've become accustomed to this discomfort or a pain. Or maybe you desire change through seeking understanding and want a greater sense of wellbeing. Therapy can help you with this process of personal growth and healing. Whether you have a crisis, traumatic experience, significant life challenge or are wanting to experience greater fulfillment therapy may be for you. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and helping people heal from traumatic experiences. I also enjoy working with people struggling with anxiety and depression, self-esteem and body image, and substance abuse/recovery from addiction. I believe through understanding and awareness, we can move toward becoming our true selves and deeply experience life. As a therapist, I am nonjudgmental, genuine, compassionate and goal oriented. I believe humor helps humanize the therapeutic experience. My treatment philosophy is primarily based in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy. I am trained in EMDR and certified in equine-assisted psychotherapy.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, integrative, and person-centered. I believe that a therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one in which you and I work together to discover creative strategies, solutions and, even humorous insights to help you practice to help you reach your goals. My role is to be there to guide you, encourage you, maybe even challenge you if I feel you are unknowingly allowing obstacles to stand in your way. I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals.

Hi there! Are you ready to make healthy changes in your life, but you're not quite sure what that looks like and are looking for support and guidance? Are you wanting to heal from the death of a loved one or beloved animal? Are you having questions about your career/current profession and need some guidance? Are you a Highly Sensitive Person? (HSP) or a Creative? **Before you book a session, we will need to message to make sure we are a good fit and I can offer the support you need. Any sessions before messaging may be canceled.** Please reach out if you are a fellow therapist, writer/artist/musician, and/or teacher as I have experience in these worlds. If you are coming to counseling specifically to work on trauma, I encourage you to look for a counselor with a specialty in trauma. Finding the right fit with a counselor is an important decision. As you scroll through everyone, I want to acknowledge the fact you are taking this first step. My intention is to create an environment that is non-judgmental because it takes courage to move beyond your comfort zone. Counseling can be difficult at times, but it is an important investment in yourself. I offer sessions primarily Monday-Wednesday afternoons, with occasional Thursdays to permanent North Carolina residents. My given name is Theresa, but I've always been called Tracie. My experience includes helping people process grief, loss, anxiety, and moving through life's transitions and believe in being supportive, curious, compassionate, with a good sense of humor. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina, as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor, I use an eclectic approach of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Psychodynamic, ACT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative, and Humanistic (client-centered) theories, and am also Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed. I'm mindful that a full person comes to therapy, which also includes incorporating body awareness and a person's spiritual/humanistic/existential beliefs into the process. Thirteen years as a former community college psychology and sociology teacher helps bring an even greater understanding to our sessions. I also facilitate the following classes on BetterHelp: Healing Your Heart After Pet Loss Nourishing the Creative Soul The Highly Sensitive Person I'll Do It Later: Understanding Procrastination Discovering Your Authentic Self on Your Professional Journey Exploring the Ups and Downs of Your Professional Journey to Find Meaning in Your Work One of my unique specialties is in pet loss grief and as an author, I wrote my first novel, BURIED DEEP IN OUR HEARTS, to help people with their healing process.
