Great to meet you!

Greetings, I’m Tracy C. Baton, LCSW (she/her). My main areas of interest include trauma, gender identity, racial identity, racism, disability/illness/pain, perfectionism, sexuality, and relationships. I especially enjoy supporting other therapists, academics, healers, and caregivers. I have lived experience and experience in supporting people navigating caring, perimenopause, sexuality, and gender identity, parenting, and other life changes.

My approach to therapy

My approach centers on seeing clients in the context of their environment and is informed by feminist and narrative methods to translate awareness into actionable change. Our work will be depth-oriented, systems-oriented, and insight-driven. I’m influenced by liberation psychology, existential philosophy, and harm reduction. I also practice Somatic & Attachment-Focused Therapy, informed by the natural world as a source of healing and insight.

What you can expect from me

I’m a psychotherapist with a background as a supervising social worker, an award-winning anthropologist, and a historian. Our work together will draw on that training and background as a resource in supporting insight and change.
