About
Tracy Tanner, LPC-S, LMFT-S is a passionate, creative therapist who specializes in work with the gifted (GT) population. Tracy provides telehealth sessions and primarily works with parents, young adults, and adults. She enjoys helping her clients learn more about themselves and find everyday happiness, peace and acceptance in their lives. Her education in psychology and counseling began at The University of Texas at Austin and continued at St. Edward’s University, where she graduated with honors. She spent seven formative years at Austin Child Guidance Center, where she developed deep clinical experience in trauma and attachment work, child development, family systems, and parent support before transitioning into full-time private practice. From 2012 to 2016, she served as a consultant and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) educator for Magellan International School. During her time there, she developed an individualized SEL curriculum for the International Baccalaureate program that was implemented through classroom workshops, parent education, and small group instruction. She completed advanced training with ADHD expert James Ochoa, LPC, through an immersive and intensive program that strengthened her specialty and passion for supporting individuals with ADD/ADHD. Her ongoing professional training has focused on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Relational Therapy, Systems Work, and giftedness, including twice-exceptionality. In 2025, she graduated from Robyn Gobbel’s year-long Immersion Program for Professionals through the Baffling Behaviors Institute and became a Certified Course Facilitator for Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors. This advanced training integrates Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Polyvagal Theory, the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), Attachment Theory, and Relational Neuroscience to provide a comprehensive, brain- and relationship-based framework for supporting families. She is especially passionate about helping parents understand and support children with highly sensitized nervous systems, translating neuroscience into practical, compassionate strategies that foster regulation, safety, and connection. She deeply values long-term therapeutic relationships and feels honored to walk alongside clients through multiple stages of growth and development. Tracy is also a member of Austin InConnection.
