Getting to know Tara Bates

**Tara Bates is currently not open for new patients. All new patient bookings will be seen by our associate provider Tracey Johnson. We cannot prescribe any medication.** Personal statement from Tracey Johnson: As an LPC-A, I want my clients to have a safe and supportive environment where they can talk, heal, and grow. Everyone is unique and has a story to tell. I am an empathetic listener who can guide you in becoming the best version of yourself. Many people have commented on how much they appreciate my calm and non-threatening approach to counseling. Tracey's counseling methodology is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), but she also uses other approaches to meet individuals' needs, including mindfulness and stress reduction techniques. Her goal is to help you develop positive coping skills that will support you in your daily life. Tracey earned her Bachelor's degree and Master's in Social Work from the University of Houston. She is currently working under the license and direction of Tara Bates, LCSW-S.

What should a new client know about working with you?

“I will support you as you start to make positive changes towards the life you desire. I would like for you to be my partner in improving your overall well-being because therapy is an investment of your precious time and emotions, and I value you.” Tracey Johnson, LPC-A

What is your typical process for working with clients?

"Our first session will consist of us getting to know each other and determining what you want to work on together. I'm your partner through this journey and can't wait to meet you." Tracey Johnson, LPC-A
