About Traci
Hi there,
My name is Traci Biddle. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in December, 2019. I work with all ages from preschool age through older adults. My experience is with counseling individuals, couples, and groups. Currently, I'm offering in office or tele-therapy sessions. I enjoy helping people who suffer with anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, sleep issues and who have experienced trauma in their life.
Counseling is a second career for me. Before making the switch to counseling, I taught elementary kiddos for twenty years. I also have a diverse work history including working in insurance, billing, and customer service.
On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my fiance, my pets and friends. Home improvements, cooking, gardening and exercising are what I like to do when I have free time.
Come meet me and see if I'm a good fit as your therapist.

About Me
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
My doctor forced me to go to therapy in order to get a prescription for sleep meds. I was nervous but I did it and it ended up being a great experience. The therapist helped me see the big picture and not focus on all the little stressors.
I find helping people with their mental health concerns really rewarding. It makes me feel good to help others and it makes the person feel good that they are figuring things out.
About Me
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
Going to therapy can be a little scary and make you feel nervous the first time, but it is so worth it. Therapy is a place where you get to focus on the self-care that you may not be getting in other places in your life. Give it a try, if you hate it you don't have to come back. If you like it, you just took a step towards taking care of you!
About Me
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
It is important for you to know that I am here to help you. There are a lot of different ways to solve a problem, I'll partner with you to find the one that works for you.
About Me
What does a typical session with you tend to look like?
A typical session with me is pretty laid back. I give my clients some time to fill me in on how things are going for them. Then we do some work focused on the goals that you (the client) want to work on in therapy.
