Tracy Gantlin-Monroy, MDiv, LPC, Certified Brainspotting Practitioner/Consultant/Trainer

Tracy is a fierce proponent for inclusion and social justice with grace. She is the resident therapist at Grace Community Counseling & Social Services, LLC located in Atlanta, Georgia with a specialty in trauma, leaning on Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing (SE), and IFS. I am passionate about healing and access for all people seeing everyone as a flower in the garden of the Almighty. Trauma treatment is my passion recognizing trauma to be in the system/body and not necessarily in the trauma experience. My orientation as an American Black woman affords insight into situations, challenges and issues of both marginalized & dominant cultured persons. Grace Community Counseling & Social Services, LLC serves just as many persons of marginalized social locations as dominant cultured locations, women as men and believers/non-believers alike. As the first Black female Brainspotting trainer in the world, I clearly understand the sacred nature of culture, identity, erasure and representation; this is valid and necessary for effective treatment recognizing we all show up with our life experience. Power-dynamics are evident from an intersectionality perspective which requires mindfulness, awareness, respect and cultural humility. I move at the speed of grace, respect, and safety as a clinician and Brainspotting trainer.
