“ I truly believe I made the best decision for my journey on the road to becoming an LCSW when I chose a supervisor who believed in me. La’Tracia encourages me to show up as myself and incorporate that into the kind of social worker I want to be. One of her first questions she asked was “ what is your end goal for yourself” and since then she has continuously worked with me to reach that goal. Her natural nurturing approach, compassion and support are just a few of the many things that make her the amazing supervisor she is. “

I came to Tracia after a really bad experience with supervision where my company instructed me to find a new supervisor. I found Tracia’s info online and she was super relatable and helpful from the start. Since working with Tracia, I have learned to trust myself more as a professional while knowing she is always just a call away. Tracia has been instrumental in my ongoing transformation from student to professional. Her energy is bubbly, relatable, and very empathetic. Lastly, Tracia has built a community of social workers and so working with her also allows you into a network of relatable social workers navigating similar challenges. I am grateful that we crossed paths and would highly recommend her as a supervisor and mentor!"

-Sesaney Green, LCSWA
"My journey to find a LCSW supervisor started off very rocky as I was new to the state and was given the run around from multiple people. La’Tracia was recommended to me and I wasn’t very hopeful however she has exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning she was very honest, straightforward and reliable. These are just a few qualities that have not changed about her as we hit the 2-year mark. She has positively invested in my professional development and I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my work. La’Tracia has proven time and time again that she cares about her supervisee’s and our professional growth. She has been instrumental in driving my success and I am very grateful to have her in my corner. As I prepare for the LSCW, I feel more confident in myself because of the guidance and support I have received and will continue to receive during supervision. Choosing a supervisor is very important because it is your career and License on the line just as much as it is theirs and I am grateful that I have found a supervisor that not only cares about herself and her professional development but also cares about her team and their success."

Presentation Testimonials
In 2019, Tracia joined the Atlanta-based Fifty-Fifty Mentoring Program for one of our monthly development sessions for a virtual conversation around the 8 dimensions of wellness. As an organization that pairs Black female professionals across multiple industries with high school/early college mentees with various interests, this session gave us all a strong foundation for understanding and learning how to be a champion for total wellness. We absolutely loved Tracia’s educational and engaging approach to helping us focus on becoming our best selves!
As an HR professional, I was able to take what I learned from the session to inspire wellness-based initiatives in the workplace and know that my mentee and many others have been able to use what they learned in the session to guide their everyday lives.

My experience with La’Tracia has been nothing short of transformational. La’Tracia does work with members of our football program. Team members have always commented that La’Tracia is absolutely brilliant in her approach and always managed to ask just the right questions when working with team members in group sessions or individually. The sessions were testing, enlightening, enjoyable, emotional but most of all empowering to team members and has yielded tremendous results for the boys. Team members commented that it has helped them better understand themselves, step back and look at the facts around their circumstances and increased their confidence hugely.

My experiences with Pursuing Peace have always been positive and uplifting. La’Tracia is extremely professional and her passion, love, and dedication to our community is truly inspiring. I am reminded of her “Wellness Movement: Take A Walk in My Shoes” (2021), when her company raised funds to provide therapy to the underprivileged in our community. During a time of uncertainty, loss, and financial distress because of the pandemic, La’Tracia made a decision to support those in need. I was motivated to contribute in an effort to be apart of something greater than myself. Her mission to cultivate peace and wellness is tenacious.
