I'm Tracy Bagatelle-Black, a dedicated licensed marriage and family therapist with a passion for helping people achieve their mental health goals. I want to help you live your best life. I work with a wide range of adults, from college-aged individuals building independence to older adults facing transitions in health, roles, or relationships. I also support couples in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and deepening connection.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and a humanistic approach to support you in understanding patterns, setting goals, and making meaningful changes. My work is collaborative and strength-based. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, kink-aware, and experienced in working with clients who are exploring gender identity or undergoing transition.
I rely on warmth and a bit of humor to help build trust and make the therapeutic space feel more human and approachable. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, open-minded, and sincere. They’ve shared that they value how I’m able to deeply validate their experiences while also offering gentle, thoughtful challenges to patterns or beliefs that may be holding them back. In our work together, I pay close attention to your current experience, your emotional landscape, and the life story that’s shaped you.
