About Tracy Clarke

Hi! I’m Tracy Clarke, and I’m glad you have found my profile!

I received my master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania, and I have been working in mental health since 2016. I am currently in my last semester of a PhD program in counselor education and supervision from Waynesburg University. My approach is eclectic, and I utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) on a regular basis, as well as aspects of existential theory. I am highly specialized in addictions counseling. I also have over a decade of experience working with individuals with disabilities, including autism and intellectual disabilities.

I believe the therapeutic alliance is the cornerstone of successful therapy. I work on building trust and professional relationships, so that we may work together to tackle your adversities. I use a variety of techniques to help you accomplish your goals, which are based on your individual needs and preferences.

I look forward to working with you in the future!
