Tracy K. Murphy, LCSW

Mental illness and emotional disorders not only affect the individual, but their loved ones as well. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach, I help the client develop positive coping skills and behavioral modication techniques which can help them obtain and sustain an emotionally healthy lifestyle, set realistic goals and help the family learn ways to interract positively with them.

It is important to realize that like any other disease, mental illness is not the individual's fault.  However, there are techniques, and possibly medications, to aid the individual live a more emotionally consistent life. I work closely with  medical providers to make sure that my clients are receiving the best possible treatment outcome.
