About Tracey Bratton

Hi, I’m Tracey.
I’m an LCSW with more than a decade of clinical experience, and 3 decades of nursing experience. I have advanced training in trauma-informed care, gerontology, and caregiver education. I work with clients ages seven and up, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, steady space for healing, growth, and restoration.

My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-responsive. I draw from CBT, DBT-informed skills, attachment-focused work, and mind-body strategies to support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, compassion fatigue, life transitions, and family or work stress. Your story, your pace, and your goals shape the work we do together.

For clients who desire it, I offer faith-integrated support—such as Scripture reflection, values-anchored grounding, and space to explore how faith and healing connect. Faith is always optional, always client-led, and never assumed. You set the tone; I simply make room for what matters to you.

Reaching out for help is a brave step. You don’t have to walk this path alone. I’ll partner with you as you rediscover your strengths, rebuild balance, and move toward hope, healing, and wholeness.

A little more about me:
I’m a mama and “Mammy” (as my grands call me), a lifelong learner, and someone who finds beauty in ordinary moments. I will forever love my mama’s cornbread dressing, and slow Saturdays spent with family. “Junkin’” is my happy place — taking something worn and giving it new life feels a lot like redemption to me. I enjoy a good clean movie when I need to unwind and quiet moments that help me stay grounded in God’s peace and purpose for me.

I try to live in a way that blends gratitude, humor, creativity, and the steady belief that God meets us right where we are. My faith shapes how I move through the world — with hope, compassion, and a belief that restoration is always possible.

“Tracey is great! I am so so happy that she’s who was chosen for me!”

“I have worked with Tracey for a few months now, and I can say it was one of the best decisions I made. To seek assistance in processing trauma is not easy but it is vital to put in the work. Tracey was always kind and responsive to my needs as a client. My relationship with my family and myself have greatly improved. I am grateful to have had her assistance during the pandemic. She helped me understand that this is a stressful time, and it is okay to feel the effects of it. I have struggled with my motivation for my graduate studies, and she helped me find the reason why. Anyone who gets to work with Tracey, if open will walk away better than before.”

“As a therapist myself, I look for two things for my own work (that I try to mimic) which is to both listen emphatically and also give the advice I need. I feel that Ms Bratton is a trustworthy and wise, generous and kind therapist who loves to listen! I can recommend her enough. I look forward to our weekly session and when she responds to my messages”

“Tracey has been so great at making me feel comfortable and like I have hope to get better!”

“She’s great”

“Tracey is caring, compassionate, and a great listener who provides excellent feedback and insight. She prioritizes my wellbeing and is much appreciated.”

“I wasnt sure what to expect with online counceling but right away Tracey Bratton showed herself to be compassionate and whip smart about the counciling she provides and how my goals can be worked upon. She seems to be able to see through to deeper meanings and problems for someone like me who (imo) already feels like they have a firm grasp on alot of concepts and my own problems. Couldnt recommend her more.”

“We have meet with other counselors that didn’t listen fully and left us clueless on what to do next. Tracey really listens and gives good advice that is working. She is wonderful!”

“Mrs. Bratton is a very understanding and professional counselor. The only counselor I’ve ever had that seems to understand my concerns when it comes to counseling in general.”

“Tracey is great!”

“I love Tracey! The thought of therapy scared me at first but she has made it so easy to adjust to. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Tracey has been really great to work with. She’s very helpful with giving effective ways to help with issues I’m facing. She’s given me a lot of hope on my life that everything’s going to get better.”

“Tracey has helped me immensely in the three weeks we have been working together. She is attentive, and extremely easy to talk to. She is helping me maneuver through some pretty difficult issues, and has always been very quick with responses to my questions and journal entries outside of our sessions.”

“Tracey is amazing. What I love most about her is that I can tell her anything without feeling judged which is so important when it comes to talking about sensitive topics. I feel very confident and hopeful with the tools she is teaching me to help cope with my personal issues.”

“Mrs. Tracey is such a kind and wonderful person. I never felt like I have been judged or looked down on like I have with my past experiences of counselors. She makes me feel valid and like I am improving every time we speak!”
