Teletherapy for Richmond, VA

Mental health is my priority and supporting families is a passion. I am Tracey Johnson-King, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) Resident and Life Coach certified. I started my mental health career in 2012 as a community QMHP. I am a mother of 10 and grandmother of 8. Currently, I am Crisis Clinician who assist those with an immediate need of mental health stabilization. I am a crisis assessor and currently started my own company Fresh Nu Beginnings LLC. We assist those within a crisis and support them within the community to stabilize.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to accomplish their goals. My role is to help you uncover and understand the obstacles and trauma that are getting in the way of achieving what you desire, and then help you tap into your inner resources to succeed. With empathy and authenticity, I work alongside my clients to promote healing and discovery of their power to change. Whether you are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, grief and loss; problems with relationships, parenting, or self-esteem; or a general sense of disconnectedness – whatever it is – I recognize that therapy is self-work, and it's not easy.

I have been a clinician for 23 years. I have a Master's from the U of MD Social Work program. I have enjoyed wide-ranging training and employment in many settings, including supervising a county-wide suicide hotline, in an adolescent residential facility, intensive outpatient and in-home therapy. I have worked in diverse settings, such as Johns Hopkins Methadone/Suboxone program and for an AZ Native Tribal Nation. I am experienced in diverse treatment modalities, including DBT (couples and family) dual-diagnosis treatment, Imago and in Imago/communication focused couples therapy, and multi-systemic or strategic family therapy.

I am a psychotherapist for adult individuals and couples. Do you want stronger, clearer and healthier relationships? My clients consist mainly of open minded, artistic and unconventional persons wanting more intimacy and connection or wanting to explore their innate gifts and talents. I also work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary persons. However, I love working with anyone who is seeking growth, wholeness and perspective.

I am dedicated to helping my clients identify their potential, and opportunities for positive change. I help clients attain their counseling goals through cognitive behavioral therapy principles, with a person-centered approach.

​I have a special interest working with individuals who are going through a Quarter-Life Crisis (yes, this is a real thing), as well as first-therapy goers. Feeling stuck? Have you exhaustively explored every self-help book out there, only to find yourself struggling to put into practice all that you've learned? Do you want things to get better but are unsure where/how to start? You're not alone-I'm here to help. I understand how excruciating and frustrating it can be to repeat the same painful patterns and feel like nothing will get better. We will explore ways to start moving past the pain and towards a happier and healthier life

I believe that we are all beautiful individuals with imperfections. I enjoy utilizing a positive, encouraging, holistic approach to therapy. It’s important for clients to feel safe and comfortable in the non-judgmental environment that I will create for them. As we embark upon your journey to becoming your best self, I will encourage you to stretch, grow and celebrate your achievements. I will also be there for you during the uncomfortable and challenging times. I believe that it’s important to strive to create balance in ones life. This often times begins with improving self-esteem, self awareness and self-empathy.

My ideal client is someone who feels that they are facing difficulties in their mental health and would like some help and outside perspective. I want to help clients with a huge variety of issues and struggles, from many different backgrounds. I will learn alongside them on the best ways to help and provide support. For my clients, I know that it is a difficult thing to share about deeply personal issues, so I only ask that they take a brave step and be willing to talk a little about what is bringing them in

Nothing changes, if nothing changes. When your life feels like a constant struggle or going nowhere, then therapy may be in your best interest. Our mental and emotional life, like anything requires maintenance to keep things in good working order. I won't explore the past in exhaustive detail. Rather, we will identify thought patterns and behaviors that keep you adrift or unhealthy. If your relationships are troubling, you are not alone. They are the most common cause of distress and contribute heavily to anxiety & depression. Engaging in therapy is a major life decision. Decide mindfully about the best fit for you.

Here’s the truth about life: it is uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable, tough, chaotic and, sometimes, we lose ourselves in it. Life is full of emotions that can be overwhelming and confusing, but once understood, can be transformative. If you want a therapist to help guide you towards your emotional, mental and physical goals - while also meeting you where you’re at without judgment - then I am likely a good fit for you. In my sessions, you’ll find a compassionate, safe, space where you will be gently challenged to discover, learn and grow. I often work with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, conflict and sexuality.

I work using an integrative, person-centered, inclusive, trauma/systems-informed framework to mental health and well-being. My approach is collaborative and you are an integral part of the process. I believe your body/brain/mind already possesses the intrinsic wisdom required to heal. My role is to facilitate your own self-healing by providing guidance, support and suggestions, and sometimes humor. I draw on many psychological perspectives, theories, brain-based techniques, mind-body practices, neuroscience, and research-backed modalities as well as practical solutions and more intuitive approaches to help you along the way.

I offer both individual and couples counseling to adults of all ages, also teaching mindfulness meditation when desired. In addition to ameliorating symptoms, decreasing emotional pain, and helping to solve difficult problems, therapy and meditation can facilitate significant personal growth and increased wellness. My approach is broadly humanistic, meaning we seek together in a safe and secure environment, mutual understanding of you as a whole person, honing your internal "voice" and tapping into your existing strengths. Once we identify who you really are and what is most important to you, the path to bringing your life into alignment becomes clearer.

Look no further! Let's get real in a space without judgement or comparison to create long-term sustainable changes in your life. We can discover the answers you need in order to move forward with purpose and clarity. I specialize in Wellness, Relationship, and Personal Coaching.

Lets talk! The practice focus is person centered, strengths based, and focuses on personal growth and working together in a supportive setting to facilitate a patient’s journey towards empowerment evolution of self and living their best version of their life.
