Tracey Nicole Waite

My communication style

I enjoy creating a safe space for clients to share their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a non-judgmental, supportive, and positive space.

My journey to mental healthcare

My grandmother's suicide when I was 9 devastated me. I never received therapy as a child and am passionate about children getting the opportunity to tell their stories. I have worked with all populations in settings from inpatient psychiatric hospitals to outpatient therapy.

My goals for you

I use a client-centered, strengths-based approach to goal setting. All goal setting is client-driven. I just help you figure out what your goals for therapy and personal/professional life are and help you break them down into actionable steps. I can hold you accountable and help motivate you to achieve the small steps daily.

Our first session

Lots of questions. I really just want the opportunity to find out why you are seeking therapy now and see how I can best help you. I tend to ask a lot of questions, especially during our first session when I'm obtaining basic information about you. After the first session, it's more laid back and driven by your need in each session.
