Dr. Bracey is a deeply committed and equity-centered psychotherapist who brings intention, focus, and compassion to her work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan. With clinical expertise in mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, substance use, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and complex relational patterns, Dr. Bracey offers a safe and collaborative space for healing and growth.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, grounded in culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and informed by her training in evidence-based modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), Unified Protocol (UP), and CBT for insomnia and depression. She also has specialized training in treating ADHD, trauma, chronic pain, and sleep disorders – particularly in clients navigating both psychological and medical complexities.

A trauma-informed healer, Dr. Bracey believes therapy is one of the bravest journeys a person can take. She honors the courage it takes to begin and emphasizes a collaborative relationship where clients are seen as experts on their own lives. Her role is to bring clinical knowledge, cultural humility, and creative flexibility to help clients articulate meaningful goals, manage emotional tolls, and move toward their own definition of success.

With a rich background in research and clinical practice, Dr. Bracey has worked with clients as young as seven through older adulthood, across diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Her research focuses on how depressive symptoms manifest in underserved populations, and she developed a culturally responsive depression assessment tool to reflect these insights. Graduating with a dual focused doctorate in both Counseling Psychology and School Psychology, her scholarly interests include technology use in psychology, health disparities, academic access, family engagement in schools, and public policy in mental health—always with a lens toward equity and systemic change.

Dr. Bracey sees cognitive and behavioral shifts such as those in CBT as deeply empowering – especially for marginalized communities. “When clients realize that their interpretation of a traumatic event, rather than the event itself, is what drives distress, it opens the door to healing,” she says. “Persistent changes in thought and behavior can foster resilience and, in some cases, inspire broader system transformation.”

Whether you’re navigating trauma, seeking clarity in relationships, or managing chronic emotional pain, Dr. Bracey offers a therapeutic partnership rooted in empathy, evidence, and empowerment.
