Tracey York, LPC

Tracey York is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 37 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and codependency among other concerns. She speaks English and practices in Pennsylvania.

Clients often come for help with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and patterns of putting others first. Tracey uses a mix of direct guidance and more exploratory conversation depending on what someone needs in the moment. She aims to help people notice how old patterns affect current relationships and daily life.

Her approach includes practical skills to manage anxiety, mood shifts, and the stress that follows big changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are part of how she supports readiness for change.

Tracey has long experience working with chemical use disorders, behavioral addictions, and sexual compulsivity. She also has experience supporting people through grief, parenting challenges, body image concerns, and chronic illness. Her work has included helping people affected by domestic violence and separation.

She describes a therapeutic style that can be directive when clear tools are needed and more non-directive when exploration is useful. Sessions typically include concrete strategies, reflective talk, and skill practice so clients can try new ways of responding outside the session.

Tracey has spent much of her career working with marginalized communities and continues to attend to culture, belief systems, and relationship dynamics when planning care. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
