More about Tracye
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in District of Columbia with 26 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
About me, “I’m fortunate to have a career that is invigorating, challenging, rewarding---most importantly, person-centered that, “I Absolutely Adore!”.
My beliefs around selecting the right therapist is crucial---one whom you can trust, establish rapport easily and disclose your inner most thoughts /dreams / goals/ success and/or challenges---which includes values and conflicts…which includes identity issues, i.e. LGBTQI . Often, these areas can create the greatest challenges due to the need to separate our beliefs from others as it relates to life /love/happiness/success/employment/health and relationships.
My goal is to listen intently, and provide eclectic---yet integrated, person-centered therapy that incorporates a myriad of solution-focused, motivational, holistic, goal oriented, some spiritually based techniques---that is eclectic. Depending on your needs/goals, we can explore prior therapy experiences, success and obstacles and create a new tool box of resources, coping or survival skills-- moving forward.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Herndon, is AMAZING!
Dr. Herndon is gentle with words and is an amazing listener with insightful feedback. What a kindhearted person and professional.
I had questions I didn't have answers to and that scared me. She's helping me find answers. Professional, experienced, patient.
Dr. Herndon is an incredible therapist. She’s empathetic, genuine, and an extremely caring person - but is also willing to be honest and push for real results. I am deeply grateful for her guidance, and would highly recommend her to anyone suffering from anxiety, depression, or issues of self worth. Cannot say enough good things about how much I’ve progressed with her help.
She's great
I enjoy working with Dr. Herndon!! We are about the same age so she can relate to how the world was back then and that makes it easy for us to relate. She always says something that makes me stop and think about, sometimes for days. I would recommend Dr. Herndon, she has been a true help to me!!
Dr. Herndon is warm and welcoming. She asks thoughtful, insightful questions and offers helpful recommendations for ways to see situations from new perspectives and for next steps. I’m grateful to have found her!
