Tracey Picou, MSW
Tracey Picou, MSW, earned a bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies from West Virginia University in 2021 and later completed a Master of Social Work from Howard University in 2023. She has experience working with a wide range of clinical concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger dysregulation, and self-esteem challenges. She also supports individuals with more complex presentations such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), personality disorders including borderline personality disorder, and clients experiencing suicidal ideation or engaging in non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors, with a strong focus on risk assessment, safety planning, and stabilization. She particularly enjoys working with adolescents and young adults as they navigate emotional regulation, identity development, and life transitions, while also helping individuals build confidence, self-acceptance, and healthier self-image.
Professional Background and Expertise
Tracey’s clinical approach is holistic, taking into account the whole person—mind, body, and environment—while integrating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care. She focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and cognitive restructuring, while supporting clients in building insight, adaptive coping skills, and long-term behavioral change. She is also committed to culturally responsive care and advocates for Black and Brown communities by creating a safe, validating, and empowering therapeutic space that acknowledges systemic influences on mental health.
