About me

As a licensed therapist in California with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and personal growth. My approach is deeply compassionate and affirming, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ experiences, relationship dynamics, and personal empowerment.

I work collaboratively with clients navigating diverse challenges, including social anxiety, communication difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and life purpose exploration. My therapeutic style centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can authentically examine their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for healing and transformation.

My expertise spans a wide range of areas, including relationship issues, grief support, workplace challenges, and personal identity exploration. I'm committed to helping clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and effective coping mechanisms tailored to their unique journeys.

Whether you're experiencing transitions, struggling with interpersonal dynamics, or seeking deeper self-awareness, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

Nancy has given me very helpful practical advice. I find her insightful, an attentive listener and an experienced therapist. After only 2 sessions I am already doing much better. I highly recommend her.

Written on Mar 22, 2025 after therapy with Nancy for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and grief

Nancy is really forward and down to earth too. Very respectable, even telling me things I might not want to hear - which is a good thing because I need to hear it.

Written on Feb 15, 2025 after therapy with Nancy for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, anger management, coaching, and compassion fatigue

I’m new to therapy and was hesitant to try it. A friend recommended Better Help and I was fortunate enough to be matched with Nancy Tracy. Nancy is kind, patient and respectful. In a very short time she’s managed to gain my trust and I’ve shared more with her than I could’ve ever imagined. I feel safe and respected in her sessions. I look forward to continuing to work with her.

I’ve been with Nancy for I think 6 months now. She’s gotten me thru a lot of tough times I’ve been going thru and she offers solid advice and she is really sweet and warm and kind.
