Rate Tracy M. Fredericks

I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New Jersey and Pennsylvania with a background of over 25 years in leadership, healing-centered work, and advocacy. For the past five years, I've worked specifically in clinical settings with individuals navigating disordered eating, eating disorders, body shame, stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, procrastination, trauma, and life transitions. I have also worked with clients who experienced PTSD, mood disorders, and personality disorders.

I specialize in supporting high-achieving women, who often appear successful on the outside but silently struggle inside. Many of the women I work with feel stuck in long-standing cycles of binge eating, emotional overwhelm, and self-criticism. They often describe having it "all together" professionally, while secretly eating to cope, criticizing their bodies, or avoiding their needs altogether. My work is grounded in deep respect, cultural awareness, and an understanding of how shame, attachment wounds, and survival patterns show up in the body and our relationship with food.

My style is warm, affirming, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, EFT, and trauma-informed care with culturally responsive insight and real-life strategy. I don't believe in quick fixes, but I do believe in grounded, personalized, and sustainable healing. Whether unlearning perfectionism, unpacking emotional eating, or working through transitions, we move at a pace that honors your story.

It takes courage to reach out for support, especially when you're used to carrying everything alone. If you're ready to explore what's underneath the struggle and move toward a life that feels more whole and less heavy, I'd be honored to work with you.
