Tracy Gordon

I have experience working with clients ranging from age 8 through adulthood. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), my goal is to help clients find their strengths and overcome life’s challenges. I try to create a safe and supportive space to explore feelings, gain clarity, and address past and present issues. I believe that everyone should be empowered to thrive, not just survive.

CBT is the theoretical orientation I have predominately used for over seven years. Many times, our thoughts hinder us from growing and moving forward. CBT assists us by challenging negative and unhelpful thoughts while combating cognitive distortions. When I use CBT, I focus on working with people to change their negative thoughts which, in turn, helps in changing negative behaviors

Clients can expect warm, friendly conversation that focuses on their needs and reasons for therapy. They can expect someone that listens to them when they are ready to talk about the issues that bother them. They can expect a little nudge and, an occasional challenge, to their negative thinking. I try to make each session calm, comfortable, and productive for each client.
