Traci Sutton

My communication style

I emphasize creating a safe, nurturing environment for clients to express themselves freely. I have a calm and compassionate demeanor and an uplifting style. I have been known to use enthusiasm and humor in sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been fascinated by people - how they become who they are and who they hope to become. I met a dynamic therapist who inspired me to pursue the field and changed my perspective on social workers, specifically LCSWs. I am moved by those who allow themselves to be vulnerable, seek change, and are committed to healing.

My goals for you

We will establish rapport first to create a safe, therapeutic relationship. Goals are client-driven, and I will help you crystallize what you seek from therapy. We will periodically review your goals to track your progress and create new goals as needed.

Our first session

In the first session, the focus is on what has brought you to therapy and what you seek from the work. We will take time to connect so that I can begin to understand you. There will be broader questions as I begin to gather some of your history. It's a beginning to determine if we are a good fit.
