Tracy Deal

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with youth, families, and vulnerable populations. My background includes school social work and serving as a Director of Shelter and Counseling, where I provided clinical support, case management, and crisis intervention. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I support women, adolescents, and families navigating difficult circumstances. My goal is to help you build stability, strengthen coping skills, and move toward greater emotional well being.

I take a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and client centered approach, creating a space where you feel heard and supported. I meet you where you are while helping you recognize your strengths and build on them. My work is trauma informed and holistic, taking into account your experiences, environment, and relationships. I use practical, evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution focused techniques to help you manage emotions, develop coping skills, and work toward meaningful goals.

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where you can begin sharing your story at your own pace. We will spend time getting to know each other, talking through what brings you to therapy, and identifying your goals. I may ask questions about your background and current situation to better understand how to support you, and you will also have the opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for my approach. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and comfortable moving forward.
