Richmond, Virginia therapist: Tricia Mazza, counselor/therapist
Serving LGBTQ+

Tricia Mazza

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re responding to something that doesn’t make sense—and you’re trying to make sense of it alone. If you’ve found yourself questioning your reality, over-explaining your feelings, or wondering how you ended up in another one-sided or emotionally confusing relationship, you’re not the only one—and you’re not imagining it. I work with women who are beginning to recognize patterns of narcissistic or emotionally manipulative relationships—whether in romantic partnerships, family dynamics, or both. Many of the women I support are high-functioning, self-aware, and deeply empathetic. From the outside, it looks like you have it together. Internally, you may feel exhausted, stuck in overthinking, or unsure how to trust your own instincts anymore. This work is about helping you name what’s happening, not dismiss it.

Minneapolis, Minnesota therapist: Allen Wood, psychologist
Serving LGBTQ+

Allen Wood

Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm a psychologist with expertise in working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and the full range of traumatic experiences and specialize in supporting clients who feel that therapy isn't for them. In working with me you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and lots of nerdy metaphors. I draw from interpersonal neurobiology, developmental psychology, and attachment theory to make evidence-based therapy models less generic and more useful for your specific situation.

Arlington, Virginia therapist: John Perry, counselor/therapist
Serving LGBTQ+

John Perry

Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
Hi there! I'm John, a Resident in Counseling hailing from the beautiful state of Virginia. My professional journey is fueled by a special interest in tackling LGBTQIA+ issues, relational conflicts, life transitions, and more. I firmly believe in creating a safe haven for clients to explore their concerns, and I integrate various therapeutic modalities like trauma-informed, client-centered, and acceptance and commitment therapy into my practice. Armed with Master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic and Legal Psychology from Marymount University, I'm an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Chi Sigma Iota, an international counseling academic honor society. Before joining CCG, I honed my skills at a DC community health center, where I had the privilege of working closely with the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals dealing with chronic conditions. My experiences ranged from navigating complex trauma to supporting clients through discrimination, chronic illness, and the nuances of the coming out process. Beyond the counseling realm, you'll find me savoring the joys of cooking, exploring new destinations, delving into a good book, and relishing quality time with friends and family.

Clients often describe my style as authentic, perceptive, and deeply compassionate, creating a space where they feel truly seen and supported. What sets Talk with Tracey apart is my ability to blend practical tools with deeper emotional work, ensuring that you not only gain coping skills but also heal at the root level.
