Tracy Trefethen

I enjoy working collaboratively with adult individuals  who are ready to look within for the way out of feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, and disconnected. I use proven, effective tools to help clients reconnect to feelings of joy and well being in daily life and inspire the courage to change. 

​

I specialize in treating traumatic experience using somatic approaches among other mindful self-compassion and optimizing well being. I find it especially rewarding to support individuals and couples to make long-lasting, positive change.

​

MY BACKGROUND

My work is deeply informed by

--my own experience of healing through counseling treatment, including firsthand experience with recovering from depression, anxiety and trauma. 

--25 years of practicing Buddhist-inspired meditation &  mindful self-compassion

--Specialized PTSD & trauma integration training

--Years of working closely with adults and adolescents to find and express their authentic voice and sense of self. 

​

I grew up on the East Coast in a family that held deep appreciation for the wilderness and the natural world. For many years I worked with adults and youth, teaching creative writing (poetry and memoir) at college, high school and the community level.  Supporting others to find and express their authentic voice and explore the richness and meaning of their own unique personal life experiences has been deeply instructive. I have learned that we have enormous capacity for resilience, facing life's challenges, and self-transformation. These are the same indelible capacities that I observe again and again in counseling clients.

​

My interests include daily meditation and meditation retreats, gardening, backpacking, and travel.
