Tracy Walters, a Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, understands the profound power of connection in mental health. Echoing the insights of psychologist and researcher Brene Brown, Tracy recognizes that a deep sense of love and belonging is an irresistible need for all individuals. When these needs are unmet, people may feel disconnected, suffer from emotional distress, and exhibit various challenges. In her counseling practice, Tracy collaborates with clients to identify and mend the areas of disconnection in their lives, aiming to restore the mental and physical benefits derived from fulfilling these essential human needs. Known for fostering a supportive and judgment-free environment, she encourages trust and acceptance. Tracy employs an integrative approach that blends client-centered, strengths-based, and narrative therapies alongside cognitive behavioral therapy. She believes that counseling is a collaborative journey, and clients are the experts of their own stories. By prioritizing connection, Tracy highlights its essential role in enhancing resilience and enhancing the overall sense of fulfillment for preteens, teens, adults, and elders alike.
