With Tracy Douglas: Your GenX Therapist in Janesville, WI, and Online Across Wisconsin and Texas
Trauma is an insidious shadow lurking in the fabric of your being, staining your experiences with confusion, pain, and fear.
We come across so many different crossroads at different points in our lives.
As we peer down our family path, we’re astonished to have seen our children change from our little sweetlings to full-fledged young adults and wonder which way to turn to help them launch into their own authentic successes. Or we scurry down the worry path as we see them struggling and wonder where the fuck we went wrong and what the fuck to do now.
When we look into our career corridor, we can experience godawful uncertainty and wonder do we turn left and try something completely new, right to level up, or just stay exactly where we are and hope for the best?
As we reflect on ourselves in mirrored funhouse-like hallways, we ask, is this who I am? Who do I REALLY want to be?
Gazing contemplatively down the avenue of our marriages or partnerships, we question have we really reached a dead end or is there any way for us to retrace our steps to find our way back to each other once again? And, if we aren’t partnered, we ask if we want to be or how we want to be making the most of our singledom.
What else do I want from life and how do I get there?
A skilled therapist can help you map the terrain of your challenges so you’re not left frozen in the face of difficult decisions or desperately running the same routes of uncertainty over and over again.
By carefully examining what’s brought you to where you are, exploring your options, and finding a foundation of authenticity and wisdom to stand on, we can find your way back to clarity and confident decision-making.

Boy HOWDY, do I UNDERSTAND how to navigate transitions!
From the facet of my career life involving working as a successful model, actor, writer, producer, anchor, spokesperson, mental health therapist, clinic co-owner, and high profile entrepreneur …
To the facet of my family life with a marriage well into its third decade and a motherhood experience that includes having one biological child and three children adopted from the foster care system raising them from littles to young adults with one of them married now …
To the facet of my love for traveling taking me around the world including all over the U.S. France, Belize, Mexico, Canada, and the Phillipines and living in New York, California, Florida, and now Wisconsin …
I KNOW how to manage changes in life!!!
And I know how to help others do it, too!
This area is one of my absolute favorites to work in because so many times, even as fear is almost always involved, I see my beloved clients take a step in service of their authenticity, growth, and acceptance …
… and (this may sound hokey, but it’s bloody true) it’s like the whole fucking universe shifts around them to support them during the change and bring them closer to the life they want to be living. This isn’t always pretty, especially at first, but it is always, ALWAYS worth it!
Tracy Douglas is an exceptional therapist.
The purpose of seeking out Tracy was that I was in need of support, guidance, and assistance in processing my challenges with my relationship with my husband. While researching therapists in the area, it became evident that I would develop a trusting relationship with Tracy quickly based on her approach to therapy. I appreciate that she is well-versed and certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy practices.
Throughout the duration of receiving services from Tracy, she has not only equipped me with strategies to encourage self-reflection, but also encouraged practices of self-regulation. Tracy is always very in tune with my current state, so much so that she has incorporated breathing techniques to support centering myself to better navigate the day's challenges.
There have been a plethora of strategies that Tracy has implemented during our sessions together, such as encouraging writing down emotions to better aid and processing big emotions, as well as, listening to various sought after researchers through podcasts. I had purchased a text in which Tracy referenced in sessions, and while reading it, I made text-to-self connections, which supported our conversations.
The strategies Tracy, uses during our sessions are firmly rooted in research, bolstered by natural principles, and tailored to address specific present needs. The progress that I’ve made myself directly reflects the work that Tracy has done with me. I have reached a deeper level of self-understanding.
The value that Tracy provides Is unparalleled to others. I would refer, and have referred colleagues to Tracy, especially those who serve in the educational realm. Her ability to connect, establish a sense of trust, educate on various strategies and empower her clients, particularly myself, is unrivaled. She’s an active listener who is able to reference past discussions, based on her precise note taking skills, while giving guidance.
At the end of the day, I am able to stand a little taller with confidence knowing I have the support and encouragement from Tracy.
I sought out services when I was struggling to find my own self-worth in my marriage. I was in an abusive marriage and didn’t even realize it. Tracy has helped me navigate my way through the journey of finding myself again.
Her treatment philosophy, style, and milieu changed my life as well as the lives of my children. I will be forever grateful for seeking out services and finding Tracy. She continues to help me navigate each chapter of my life in such a positive way.
I’ve worked in mental health for 34 years. I’m grateful for the knowledge I have from working in health care for as long as I have as well as for my own self-awareness. I have had the privilege of working with some of the best psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and psychotherapists. I have also worked with and witnessed the not so good providers.
It is my opinion that Tracy is indeed one of the great ones.

The divorce papers are signed, but the emotional wreckage remains. Shattered vows. Broken dreams. Picking up the pieces after a shattered relationship feels overwhelming. You question who you are, what your future looks like, and you wonder if you’ll ever love again.
Therapy can help you rebuild from broken by laying down a foundation of self-compassion and resilience. Heal and create a bright fulfilling future that’s authentic and meaningful to you.
A disquieting feeling of uncertainty has settled in your bones and pervades your spirit. You’re examining your career path, your relationships… Hell, your very purpose! What is just a passing blip and what REALLY needs to change?
This time of life can be a powerful energy vortex for positive change and therapy can be a valuable partner in navigating this highly personal, introspective journey.
By exploring your values, longings, and accomplishments, you can find clarity on what truly fulfills you in the various facets of your life. Remember, we always have the potential for growth and creating experiences to bring us fulfillment and joy.
Merging families under one roof may sound idyllic in theory, but the reality is that often it’s really fucking messy. Blended families face unique challenges – step-parent anxieties, sibling rivalries, and establishing new traditions.
While these challenges are common, they don’t have to be dead ends blocking you from the togetherness you dream of. Therapy can equip you with powerful communication and conflict-resolution skills to build strong family bonds to bring more ease and fun.
By focusing on emotional clarity, open communication, empathy, and establishing healthy boundaries, we can orient you towards creating the kind of family you long to have.
Your children have flown the coop, leaving you with a profound sense of emptiness. You hear bittersweet echoes of what used to be and faint alluring calls pulling you towards what’s to come.
This transition can be terrifically emotionally challenging, forcing you to re-evaluate your purpose and redefine your role as a parent. But amidst the loss, there’s also this wonderful opportunity for personal growth.
The nest emptied of children can become a nest where you nurture new dreams for yourself. Therapy can help you navigate this transition by creating space for grief from loss and a foundation for exploration of your passions, interests and what brings meaning and authenticity to this time of your life.
You’re a magnificent beastie and you deserve to face the future with a sense of purpose and excitement for what lies on your new, wide open horizon of possibilities!
The Sunday scaries hit you hard every week when you have a heavy dread of Monday mornings. You wake up thinking, “Fuuuuuuuck.” You slog through your workdays, feeling uninspired, unfulfilled, and utterly spent by the time Friday finally rolls around again.
You ask yourself so many times, “Is this just a temporary slump?” “Do I need a new job?” or “What the hell is happening to me?!” By exploring your skills, values, and passions in therapy, you can gain clarity on what truly fulfills you professionally.
Whatever the stage of your professional life, you deserve a career that excites you, not drains you. Let’s delve into your options and craft a path towards a more fulfilling life.
Life transitions can trigger an identity crisis, leaving you questioning your values, your goals, and the very meaning of your life.
It seems like when you look in the mirror, there’s a stranger staring back at you. While it can be unsettling, this is a fantastic chance to work on a new chapter of life to rediscover who you are and who you want to become.
Instead of remaining adrift in a sea of self-doubt, you can embark on an adventurous journey of self-discovery with the help of therapy. It’s within your power to redefine your identity and create a more authentic and fulfilling version of yourself.
The ache of losing a parent is one that lingers for some of us, a constant reminder of love and support that’s no longer right there. For others of us, we grieve in anger and sadness for what we experienced with our parent that will never be made right.
Whatever the circumstances, grief can manifest in unexpected ways, leaving you feeling lost and alone. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to experience your emotions openly to help you heal.
By being present with these feelings of loss, you can build a life that honors the loss of your parent in the way that’s authentic to you. Remember, there’s never a right or wrong way to grieve and mourn and integrating this loss takes time.
First of all… FUCK AGEISM AND KICK THAT SHIT TO THE CURB!!!
With that said, you miiiiight have a sense of what I’m going to say here. Age ain’t nothing but a chronological marker, not a determinant defining your potential.
Whether it’s returning to school or pursuing an entirely new career path or reaching for a level up where you are now, never, EVER underestimate your ability to learn and grow.
Therapy can help you challenge limiting beliefs and empower you to reach for what you want. Discover what’s possible for you and let’s marvel together over what happens next.
Navigating the ex-factor to maintain a civil relationship with your ex’s family after a split can feel like a minefield. You try to grapple with awkward holidays, defuse forced interactions, negotiate family differences all under the pressure of ever-present tension.
In the midst of all of this, your orienting star is prioritizing your children’s well-being. Therapy can help you gain the clarity, confidence, and communication abilities to create a space where you can have boundaries and connection to navigate your challenges with civility and respect.
Discover how to turn the post-breakup landscape into a safe space where everyone and especially the kids feel as respected and supported as possible.
I’m so, so glad you’re asking this question. It’s one of the most important ones we can ask when we’re adrift searching for senses of connection, direction, and meaning.
Did you know that we’re in an epidemic of loneliness? While expansion of knowledge and evolution of technology has brought us many marvels, there are dangerous downsides including the fact that people are becoming more and more disconnected.
You’d be shocked to know how many people are seeking therapy to help them combat loneliness. And while you might be shocked, I hope hearing that also helps you know that TRULY you are not alone.
Others are searching for belonging, too, and therapy can help you identify what obstacles you may be facing and help you discover rich possibilities for the connection and community you deserve.
Many people going through life transitions often struggle with other mental health concerns, including:
