Therapists in Hilo, HI

My name is Tracy Crowell, and I am a licensed mental health professional and a nationally certified counselor. I am currently working on my doctoral degree in Psychology. My goal is to help individuals who are struggling with life's issues and challenges and implement coping strategies and insight that will help them find the solutions they are looking for to live a happier and more fulfilled life. The clients that I work with, that are a good fit for my style and approach of therapy, are young adults and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relational issues, adjustment issues, and trauma.

My approach focuses on addressing immediate symptom relief and current life problems with an emphasis on identifying underlying emotional causes that may be contributing to these difficulties. My practice presumes that understanding psychological conflicts underlying unpleasant negative behaviors and/or emotions will help people gain important understanding into their current problems and, consequently, lead them to make considerable changes in their lives.

My ideal clients actively collaborate in a non-judgmental, respectful, compassionate, therapeutic setting to uncover and process unresolved trauma that prevents them from realizing their goals. We discuss the benefits and risks of therapy, as we develop workable solutions that are tailored to clients' personalities, and use empirical assessments to monitor clients' progress toward personal goals, increased self-awareness, and self-actualization.

I work best with people who are curious about their inner world, who want to understand why it is they do the things they do. People who are carrying pain from old wounds they would like to heal.

I intend to provide individuals a safe space to process their experiences, free of judgement, and work collaboratively to navigate a path toward a personal, ultimate wellness. My counseling style is warm and supportive, with a humanistic foundation. Through a strength-based lens, I draw on multiple evidenced-based modalities such as Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy.

I love my job. I doesn't feel like one. There is so little work involved. What do I do? I deal in dreams to the lost. I find light in a dark places. I frame what I can. Sometimes I bury the past What is this work you speak of? Well - sometimes there is no work involved. Just a rambling old storyteller I remember the write story I deconstruct an old one I play Uno and Chess for a living. I bring laughter to serious people. I am a therapist.

한국어를 아주 잘함  (Fluent in Korean). One of my greatest strengths as a counselor is my ability to always hold hope for my clients as I walk alongside them in the process of their healing.

People use therapy to help change themselves or deal with life challenges. Oftentimes, therapy may involve revealing significant parts of ourselves, our relationships, or life circumstances. Therapy can help reduce or alleviate problems to help us live more fulfilling lives. Therapy is a partnership between you and me. Together, we identify the goals of your treatment, we work on skills, and we resolve to improve ourselves and our life conditions. I believe there are various ways to approach issues. My experience and belief is that many of our life’s challenges and pains stem from the way we think about ourselves and the world.
