Tracey Alta

I love my work. I love to hear people’s stories about what makes them feel alive and what inspires them. I love helping people to feel more connected to their environment and trusting of themselves in the process. What fascinates me about the healing process in psychotherapy is reflecting upon the vulnerable, groundless mystery of the human journey and the endless revelations of the unguarded heart. The focus of my work is on the unique story and experience of each individual. My approach can differ in some ways from standard talk therapy. For the past twenty years, I have been working with trauma and the body’s resilience in the realm of healing; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have long been interested in the creative and unfolding dance between Western medical models of healing and the contemplative methods of inquiry and somatic awareness. My therapeutic approach draws from a number of perspectives including psycho dynamic, mindfulness practice, somatic psycho-therapy training and the ongoing field and realm of neuroscience.
