Tracy Gilmour-Nimoy

Since the age of 14, Tracy knew she wanted to become a therapist. She has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Counseling, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. She has experience working in various settings, including agencies, clinics, hospitals, community mental health, schools, management, and private practice. After several years of working within the mental health field, Tracy had a vision to create a group private practice–a place where therapists want to work, and patients want to come. Tracy has worked extensively with children, adolescents, families, transitional age youth (TAY, ages 16-25), and adults from varying cultural backgrounds, providing individual, family, co-parenting, couples (related to finances, grief, life transitions, communication perinatal/reproductive mental health, parenting), and group therapy. She uses a combination of different evidence-based practices, collaboratively tailoring each treatment plan to the individual. She is warm, compassionate, humanistic, and direct when needed. She balances deep empathy with gentle confrontations to help each patient examine room for change and reach their desired goals, while making sure they feel safe, loved, cared for, and supported. She places high value on the therapeutic relationship, utilizing humor and other means of genuinely connecting to deeply learn about each individual. Tracy is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and is in the process of becoming certified. ART is an evidence-based practice for treating trauma, PTSD, and other mental health challenges. ART is unique in that it combines techniques from different evidence-based practices, including the benefit of science-backed eye movements, to allow for voluntary changes in the patient’s mind. ART is designed to provide fast relief to symptoms, with patients often experiencing changes in as little as 1 session. “Keep the memory, lose the pain” is one of ART’s mottos.
