Tracy Armstrong

Tracy Armstrong

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hello, I’m Tracy, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of experience walking alongside children, teens, and families.

In our sessions, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where you can exhale, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what’s going on. I work especially with teens and young adults facing anxiety, mild depression, low self-esteem, school pressures, or life transitions like divorce or moving. Together, we process what's been going on, build practical coping skills, and create a path forward so you can feel more confident, steady, and in control again.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades as a teacher, school counselor, and administrator, so I understand what it feels like when school stress, family changes, or big emotions start to feel overwhelming.
