Tracy Tsao

Tracy Tsao, a compassionate counselor and LCPC, specializes in addressing multicultural issues, dissociation and trauma, persistent worrying, difficult family relationships, uncontrollable sadness, isolation, withdrawal, and shame. She is dedicated to facilitating empowering, solution-focused treatment designed to help her clients understand the cognitive patterns that lead to undesired behaviors and low moods. Through her guidance, clients gain valuable skills in emotion regulation, assertiveness, effective communication, trauma resolution, and the replacement of cognitive errors for impactful behavior change.

Tracy targets cognitive distortions that often contribute to heightened anxiety, such as catastrophizing and all-or-nothing thinking. Utilizing techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-informed care, she supports her clients in building self-confidence, developing autonomy, regulating emotions, fostering emotional resilience, and healing pervasive feelings of frustration and helplessness.

Tracy warmly embraces LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identities and relationships, remaining open, sensitive, and responsive to her clients' needs. She employs culturally appropriate interventions to offer support and direction around relational trauma, family-of-origin difficulties, self-esteem, parent-child relationship challenges, and other issues including anger, codependency, and transitions.
