I am a graduate from Radford University earning a Bachelors Degree with a focus on social work. I received a Masters of Social Work from Radford in 2014 and began working toward being a LCSW. I received my LCSW in 2017 and have been working in outpatient therapy since. I have experience with anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, ADD/ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, anger management, parenting issues, personality disorders, trauma, and grief. I work from a strength-based perspective with a client-centered style.

The hardest mountain to climb is the one within, what does your mountain look like? Each person's healing journey to the top of their mountain, no matter how small or fraught with twists and turns, is important and deserves a safe, authentic space to be heard. Healing is not a linear process. It takes commitment, honesty, motivation, and oftentimes tough work to face one's reality versus where they want to be. Healing also takes a supportive and empathetic shoulder to help carry the burden as you reach your goals. I would be honored to help you discover your confidence, values, truths, and ultimately, summit your mountain.

TELE-PSYCH only.. Prior to private practice I was providing emergency mental health treatment to clients who were suicidal, homicidal, psychotic or otherwise in crisis. I have experience working with adults of all ages, from adult teens to seniors. I currently see a range of clients, some who are just out of the hospital after a crisis, some who are seriously depressed and seeking to regain their footing without hospitalization, and others struggling with milder depression, anxiety, or self-esteem issues, or needing support through a life crisis. These clients progress through their issues from week to week.

We are an outpatient mental health practice in Blacksburg, Virginia, dedicated to helping patients overcome emotional problems using counseling techniques that promote more rapid recovery than traditional non-directive therapy. Everyone goes through challenging situations, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, there’s nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when needed. Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct damaging patterns, and overcome whatever challenges you face.

My therapy practice is built upon foundational beliefs about confidentiality, mutual respect, honesty, and transparency; the therapeutic relationship forms a safe environment in which to explore feelings, worries, distress, and decisions about the future. During my career, I have worked with clients who may be dealing with grief and loss, trauma, emotional distress, and illness. I welcome individuals and couples in therapy who may be dealing with interpersonal difficulties or internal distress. I have been involved in the psychology field as a therapist, professor, supervisor and administrator with a primary focus on therapy.

I strive to help you achieve your goals in becoming the best you you can be. However, becoming the best version of yourself is a journey, and for many people, therapy is the first step. Seeking counseling is fundamental in this journey for healing, growth, and self-compassion. I aim to provide a nonjudgmental, safe place for you to explore areas of your life that are no longer serving you. I hope to encourage clients to step into the daylight and let it go.

Are you feeling stuck? Anxious? Struggling with relationships? Welcome! I am ready to support you on your journey to wellness. My aim is to create a safe space for you to explore, grow, learn, and move toward healing and the life you want. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, inclusive, and trauma-informed. I am passionate about working with adults to address concerns and symptoms, such as, anxiety, attachment/relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, depression, women’s issues/health, identity and life choice exploration.

Hello! I'm Traci Terry, LPC. I'm the owner of Bold Path Counseling, PLLC and I provide quality, teletherapy services to individuals in the state of Virginia. I work with expecting, new moms, and parents who are transitioning to life with a new tiny human. My passion is helping individuals with this miraculous and often overwhelming transition to parenthood. I also love working with folks struggling to manage anxiety and perfectionism in their lives.

Accepting clients for Spring 2024. Being human is hard, and we don't get an instruction manual. At times, we get stuck in patterns that prevent us from moving toward our best life. Whether those patterns are thoughts, relationships, past hurts, or habits, therapy provides a safe place to examine those things which are no longer serving us, and the tools to approach these challenges in new ways.

I believe that building a relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental place of empathy, understanding, and collaboration to help you work through what brings you to this relationship and achieve your goals.

Counseling is known as a stepping stone to a more peaceful, meaningful life. It is my honor to work with individuals to pave their pathway to a more fulfilling and satisfying state of being. My professional background includes working with adults and youth with serious mental illness, trauma, and depression/anxiety. My passions include trauma work, mindfulness, creative therapies, stress management, and family systems. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to support individuals in strengthening safety and security within their true self, and connecting to the brighter side of life.

March 2024: My practice is currently full-if you feel we may be a good fit to work together and are interested in a waitlist option, feel free to reach out. Whether you are looking to strengthen relationships, needing emotional support, or are looking for new coping strategies, I encourage you to contact me. My therapeutic style is warm, empathic, and strength oriented, and I value humor in sessions. I emphasize how your current strengths benefit and support you already, as well as offer strategies to build resilience and balance.

I believe that you are the expert on your own experience. One of my goals is that the main benefit you, or your child, gains from therapy is that you become increasingly self-aware of your own strengths and how they can best serve you to overcome whatever you are facing. Although you or your family may be experiencing intense challenges, and you're not sure what the next step should be, you have also somehow made it to today, and that proof of strength should never be ignored. I would love to join with you in your next steps, one step at a time.
