Tracy Llanos, Clinical Mental Health Counselor

You may be interested in therapy for a specific issue, or the reason might be harder to pinpoint. Maybe you feel sad, worried, or numb, but aren’t sure why. Maybe you struggle in relationships. Maybe you feel stuck. Depression, anxiety and other emotional conditions are symptoms of underlying issues that vary by individual. We are shaped by relationships and experiences from early on in life and this continues to affect how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others. We adapt the best we can, and while our adaptations are initially helpful or necessary, they often come at a cost. I offer a safe and collaborative space for you to speak freely, and for us to develop a shared understanding of your struggles to rework what is no longer serving you. Good therapy involves a joint focus on past and present. It should feel both supportive and challenging, as the underlying factors contributing to your difficulty are addressed and greater flexibility, clarity, and ease begin to emerge.
