Tracey Bauer, LMFT

Psychotherapist

From the first session with Tracey, I have felt that it was safe to share any information without judgment. Through our conversations she has provided guidance and challenges that have moved my development forward significantly. Tracey is caring, listens so intently, and is thoughtful in her response. This makes treatment effective, yet it feels like you are speaking to one of your best friends.

I have been going to Tracey for about a year and a half now and I cannot express how grateful I am that I decided to make that phone call that would change my life for the better. I’ve seen myself grow, others around me have seen me grow, and I owe that to Tracey. She challenges me, respects me, and just encourages me in ways that I never thought possible. I am grateful for her everyday.

Family Therapy

Family Therapy

Are you experiencing increased family conflict? Is there tension between your children and you? Are different members of your family struggling? If you answered yes to any of these, family therapy will help.

Family therapy can be a very effective tool in addressing problematic interactions, poor communication, behavioral issues, and family discord. Tracey uses a systemic approach to help family members address conflict and tension within the home environment. She also works to help parents effectively manage a child’s opposition, problematic behavior, or sibling conflict. In a number of formats (parent-child, sibling-sibling, parent-adult child) family members are provided with an opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings about how they are being affected by issues occurring in the family home. Each system is part of a larger family unit that is negatively impacted when one of the systems is in trouble. The goal of family therapy is to create healthy alliances, develop new boundaries, and redistribute power.

Tracey will initially meet with the parents and children individually to gain an understanding and collect information about what is occurring within the family. These sessions can range from 45-60 minutes. Family sessions can occur weekly or every other week.

Tracey has made this whole experience welcoming, authentic, and meaningful. We are extremely thankful to have found her and the Denville Family Counseling team. After our sessions, no matter the topic, we always feel nurtured and ready to move forward together. Her innate ability to talk in such a natural way provides a comfort that is invaluable.

Tracey has been extremely supportive and has saved our marriage. She is able to have each person express their emotions and concerns in a safe environment to help us navigate through them in a constructive way. She genuinely cares about your well-being and helps you drive sustainable changes. Tracey listens to each person and helps steer the conversation to make sure it stays on topic.
