TRACY CARSON, LPCC

Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here!

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor having practiced since 2007. I’m a mom to four boys! I have a dual master’s degree from Ottawa University and Phoenix Seminary in both Professional Counseling and Christian Counseling. With a client prompting, I’m happy to incorporate spirituality and faith into our therapeutic work.

I know firsthand how daunting it can be to find a therapist that you truly resonate with, as I’ve experienced that process myself. From the very beginning, it’s important that you feel comfortable in your decision to start therapy with me—whether we’re meeting online, or in San Diego.

When I’m not practicing therapy, I’m deeply passionate about public speaking. I find fulfillment in encouraging people to uncover deeper layers of who they are, so they can unlock their highest potential.

The values I keep

I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a range of theoretical perspectives to create a collaborative and authentic environment tailored to each client’s unique needs.

My work is guided by a systems-based framework that incorporates psycho dynamic and trauma-informed methods. Additionally, I’ve completed the rigorous Organic Intelligence training, which focuses on nervous system regulation and stabilization to promote healing.

Compassion

I know this journey may feel daunting, and the unknown can be scary, but we’re in this together. I’m deeply committed to helping you find freedom as you break the cycle of struggling on your own. I am committed to creating a compassionate environment that fosters the lasting change you’re worthy of.

Authenticity

Who are you at your core? Authenticity emerges when you cease to allow your own expectations, or those of others, to shape how you show up in the world. I leverage both warmth and humor in my therapy while providing accountability and honest feedback.

Trust

When trust is built, it allows your true self to emerge. You can be confident that I’ll meet you with the most genuine version of myself as well, and create a space where you feel safe and heard. When you are certain that someone is in your corner, it can make all the difference in therapy. A trusted therapeutic relationship with me, is something you can always count on.
