Tracy Williams, M.A., LPC-S

Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor

CEO, New Beginnings Counseling Team

I have a passion for working in the mental health field and have worked in various sectors of mental health. I love meeting new people and helping them to identify their strengths to grow into healthy human beings rather than human doings. I don’t have all the answers, but I can help you find the answers you are seeking to relieve your fears, anxieties and relationship issues. 

 

I utilize several key components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients experience relief. It all begins with our thoughts. Every thought creates feelings surrounding our belief about the situation. Those feelings assist in creating emotional and behavioral outcomes that result from our beliefs about the events. CBT helps us to change unhelpful thought patterns so we can live a more peaceful and stress-free life. 

 

Many people notice that they are living by “should’s,” “ought’s” and “must’s” that are keeping them in the cycle of anxiety and feeding their stressors. I will help you stop “should’ing” on yourself in an exercise to help you release that feeling of dread that follows you around like a dark cloud. 

 

I have worked in many areas of mental health. I began my career as a teacher, then moved to work as a school counselor. I began working with clients in a practice setting in 2000 by building a program to treat children and adolescents at a not-for-profit counseling center in Southeast Texas. I served as Clinical Director, Associate Director and Executive Director for the next 13 years. Moving next to healthcare in a medical setting, I ran a local Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient program for clients with serious mental health issues. I finally returned to working with clients in a group practice setting in 2021and founded New Beginnings Counseling Team. I have built a team of the highest quality mental health professionals to provide excellent therapy services and elevate mental wellness across all communities. With us you will find hope and a fresh start.
