Tracy Keller

Being a woman in this world has it's own unique challenges. From discrimination, emotional/physical abuse or the threat of abuse, pregnancy/mom concerns, to the day to day topics that make being a woman a unique experience. Talk with someone who gets it.

Being a teen in this world has become more complex. I remember being a teen and feeling like no one would understand and that adults in my life were just dismissing my concerns. I use that perspective to work with teens and to listen to their concerns. My background in child/adolescent brain development help to empower teens. It also helps to work with families to gain understanding and growth during this turbulent time in life.

Having lived through my own loss, I know and understand the magnitude a major loss can have. Through my own healing, I have found growth in my knowledge and understanding of grief and loss. I also understand the different layers and types of grief and how they can impact a person.

My background is CBT. I think it's important for us to see how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all tied and linked together. I also feel that understanding this empowers us to make adjustments were necessary to help us move forward in our growth.

EMDR is a powerful tool that helps us to reprocess stuck points from trauma. In my experience, it has been transformational to those who feel "stuck" in their trauma.

I am also trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy or (CPT). This is a more concrete way of learning to cope with stuck points in trauma. It works well for people who want to take an active initiative in healing from trauma and utilizes worksheets and homework.

A traumatic experience can shift how we see ourselves, others, and the world. I'm here to help clients move forward from trauma. Through processing trauma, we can find empowerment and growth. I utilize clinically proven therapy such as EMDR, CPT, and TF-CBT to help you reach your goals in overcoming trauma.

Not all "teen therapist" specialize in teen therapy. My laidback style works to build a connection with teenagers so they can find an ally in their unique situation. Being a teenager is tough and it's hard to find objective space to talk through concerns. I work to empower the teenagers I work with to take the lead in therapy to find the growth they are looking for. I also run a teen girl support group.
