Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Hey, thanks for taking a look at my profile! My name is Tracey, and I provide a warm, down-to-earth, and deeply supportive space for healing and growth. My approach blends mindfulness, holistic techniques, and evidence-based therapy to help clients break free from anxiety, OCD, people-pleasing, and self-doubt. Rather than offering quick fixes, I focus on lasting transformation—helping you reconnect with your inner strength, set healthy boundaries, and navigate life’s transitions with confidence. 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. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for change, I meet you where you are and guide you toward the life you truly want. Therapy with me isn’t just about reducing distress—it’s about helping you step into your full potential with clarity, resilience, and self-trust. If you’re ready to take that step, I’d love to support you on your journey.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I have been a therapist for over 10 years and running my own company for the last 2. I use a combination of Biblical therapy as well as CBT. I truly care for my clients and desire them to have a more joyful life free of anxiety and depression. I have worked with many individuals, families, and marriages and have seen growth and freedom from stress achieved. I have seen marriages put back together and families and individuals before stronger. I also host a podcast with my wife and we cover topics such as marriage, narcissism, relationships, etc.

Allison Bernardo
Pre-Licensed Professional, Resident in Counseling
As a LGBTQ+, first-generation Filipina woman, I know how meaningful it is to feel understood and accepted without having to explain every part of your identity. I strive to create a warm, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you’re healing from difficult family relationships, navigating grief, exploring your identity, working through relationship concerns, or processing life’s unexpected challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. My hope is that therapy feels like a place where you can be honest, feel supported, and leave each session with a greater understanding of yourself and the confidence to move toward the life you want.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you constantly feel like you're never good enough? Do you feel like you compare yourself to other people and think they're so much better looking or smarter than you? Do you feel like you have to wear a mask and pretend you're someone you're not just to get people to like you, not leave you, or reject you? If you said 'yes' to any or all of these questions, you've come to the right place. These are common signs of perfectionism and people-pleasing, my specialty! If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to find and use your voice to share your opinions and needs, feel safe being vulnerable so you can deepen your emotional connections, and learn how to compassionately hold yourself accountable when you make a mistake, this can be your reality with the scientifically based tools you'll learn with me as your guide. I'd love to hear from you- reach out by sending me a message through my profile on here so we can talk about next steps for working together.
