Denae Tracy MA LCSW

  Over the years, I've learned that there is always more to a person than the struggles that bring them to therapy. As a licensed social worker, I've worked in a behavioral health setting for over 12 years with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I especially enjoy helping people work through life transitions and develop a stronger sense of who they are. I also believe our physical and mental health are deeply connected, so I consider the whole person when exploring what may be affecting your well-being.

My experience has shaped the way I approach therapy. I’m curious about how our experiences influence the way we think and respond to the world. When someone is struggling, my instinct is to look underneath it. What experiences have shaped how you see yourself? What might be influencing how you respond today? Exploring these questions together can open up a clearer sense of who you are and what you want to change.

I see therapy as something we navigate together. I may not have a magic wand, but I do believe you already have more insight and capacity for change than you may realize. I'll help you connect the dots, ask questions that open up new perspectives, and support you as you figure out what comes next.

I believe people are capable of change, even when they can't yet see that possibility for themselves. My goal is to help you recognize what you're capable of and build a life that feels genuinely yours.
