About Tracie
Tracie Holder received her Master of Arts in Counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University with a dual emphasis in School Counseling and Mental Health and a specialty in Spiritual Formation. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri and is also a Registered Play Therapist. In her therapy practice, Tracie mainly uses a person-centered, experiential approach, acknowledging the importance of awareness and understanding our emotions and how they influence our thoughts and behaviors. She uses unconditional positive regard, highly values the importance of a trusting relationship with her clients, and works to help clients develop self-awareness and vulnerability to work towards becoming their authentic selves. She leads her clients in sessions in a non-directive manner, allowing the client to invite her into the areas they need/want healing in and want to work on. Tracie uses an eclectic modality of therapy, to provide the most beneficial therapeutic experience for each client.
​
Tracie has worked with individuals and couples, with clients from approximately 4 years old through adulthood, treating conditions including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, trauma, addictions, ADHD, divorce, faith/spiritual exploration/healing, and relational issues. She is LGBTQ+ affirming and specializes in working with teens as well. While Tracie works through a Christian lens, spirituality/faith is left up to the client whether and how much it is brought into sessions. She is open to creating a vulnerable, trusting relationship that honors her client's stories, recognizing the courage it takes to create change and healing in their lives, and walking with them through every step of their journey.
