PROVIDERS

Tracy Blad, MA, LMFT-S, SEP
Founder / Clinical Director

At the heart of Tracy’s work is a commitment to creating spaces where people and providers can feel supported, grounded, and encouraged to grow. As a therapist, supervisor, and consultant, she brings a gentle, steady presence and a belief that sustainable care is possible for everyone.

As a Therapist
Tracy offers a relational, thoughtful approach that centers each person’s unique story. She works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, helping them deepen self-understanding, strengthen connection, and move toward a more authentic way of living.

As a Supervisor
Tracy supports emerging therapists as they build confidence and clinical identity. Her supervision style balances structure with warmth, creating a learning environment that prioritizes skill-building, self-reflection, and long-term sustainability in the field.

As a Consultant
Tracy partners with practices and organizations to implement supportive, intuitive systems that help teams function well. Her consulting work focuses on strengthening workflows, nurturing staff well-being, and shaping environments where providers can thrive—not just get by.

Across all her roles, Tracy is guided by curiosity, compassion, and the belief that growth happens best in spaces that feel safe, steady, and intentionally designed.
