Tracy A. Long, MS, LPC Associate, NCC, BC-TMH, CTP
Owner of Shades of Resilience Counseling
Supervised by Julianne Reck, LPC-S
Hello! I’m Tracy.
I specialize in working with BIPOC adults to process childhood trauma, generational trauma, racial trauma, or other traumatic experiences/events that are negatively impacting their relationships with themself or with others.
I know what it is like to feel hopeless and alone, but I also know that there is a way out. I want you to know that this too shall pass.
I will help you learn how to take control of your life, work with your emotions, improve communication skills, and have more positive relationships using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Therapy treatment methods.
So, if you’re feeling stuck and unable to move forward, give me a call today so we can discuss how our work together can help you find relief from the pain of your past so that you can create the life that’s waiting for you.
