WHO WE ARE
Tracey Black -Owner/Therapist/Consultant:
As a Clinical Counsellor and a Registered Social Worker, I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University and a Master of Arts in Leadership degree from Royal Roads University. I have been fortunate to gain 31 years of experience as a Therapist, Instructor, Investigator and a Leader both in the private and public sector. I am also a mother of 4 grown daughters, have 7 grandchildren and have been married since 1990.
I know life can be hectic and it can present its challenges. I recognize that that we all need support in navigating through life and I believe having a place to land for support and guidance is helpful in moving forward.
My therapy practice is diverse in nature and I work with individuals, couples, families and organizations. I have gained many hours dedicated to providing therapy and use a variety of treatment methods that will fit your needs. I have other therapists/consultants that also work with Black Counselling and Consulting and will be assigned as required. Corporate accounts can be arranged providing your company with dedicated services.
I believe in providing a safe place for people to talk about whatever is going on in their life and without judgment. I also strongly believe in providing a person centered approach that allows you to drive your therapeutic journey. Empowering someone can result in a healthier person who is making constructive choices, is understanding of oneself, has increased motivation, improved social skills and healthier relationships.
Part of my practice is to follow you through your journey and I recognize that your treatment does not end when the session ends. I will follow up with you and ensure you are doing okay and provide you with anything you may need in way of support or resources.
In addition to providing therapy, I specialize in investigative services, interest based mediation, building leaders and helping with team building for organizations and licensing bodies throughout the country. I am certified as a Specialized Investigator with CLEAR and have multiple years conducting investigations, teaching investigation training and have worked in high stakes leadership roles while providing effective team building strategies, programs and leading teams.

Jennalee Schafer
As a Registered Social Worker with the Alberta College of Social Workers, I hold a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Calgary and have over 14 years of experience.
I’m an outgoing and adventurous counselor who’s passionate about helping people navigate life’s ups and downs. With a Master of Counselling Psychology and nearly a decade of experience as a Registered Social Worker in the Wolf Creek Public School Division, I’ve worked closely with children aged 5-13 in the school system, as well as individuals and families facing a variety of challenges.
My approach is solution-focused, person-centered, and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe in creating a warm, confidential, and supportive space where clients feel truly heard and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. I work with individuals of all ages, specializing in trauma, depression, and anxiety. I also offer couples counseling, helping partners rebuild trust, improve communication, and reconnect.
I’m available for individual in person and online sessions for adults, children and teens as well as sessions for couples and familes. I am located in our new Lacombe office Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and in our Red Deer office on Wednesdays. During the warmer months, I also offer walk-and-talk sessions, providing a unique way to engage in therapy while benefiting from movement and fresh air.
Outside of counseling, I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve been married for 15 years and love spending time with my three amazing kids. As a family, we enjoy camping, exploring new places, and making unforgettable memories. I also have a passion for photography, capturing the small, beautiful moments that make life special. And nothing beats spending time with friends who feel like family—whether it’s around a campfire, on a road trip, or just enjoying good conversation over hot drinks.
At the heart of my work, I want every client to feel safe, supported, and empowered to take the next step toward healing and growth. If you’re ready to make a change, I’d love to walk alongside you on your journey!

Andrea Sproxton
As a Registered Psychologist, my approach to therapy is focused on collaboration and empowerment while harnessing the power of strong relationships built on safety, trust, respect and humor.
My aim is to listen and understand your experiences while offering you genuine kindness, compassion, and tools to help you move forward.
If you are needing support navigating difficult events, anxiety, depression, stress, or parenting issues, it would be my honor to work alongside you.
I draw from trauma-informed, body-based, and developmental approaches, specializing in EMDR therapy. Treatment approaches are tailored to your strengths, life experiences, needs and goals.
As a busy working mom of two preteens and a former teacher, I have a particular passion for supporting youth, parents and educators. I have several years experience providing therapy services within schools, foster care and group care programs, and community mental health settings. During the day, I provide clinical supervision to a team of mental health professionals for a large non-profit organization. Outside the office you can find me driving my children from one activity to another or spending time with my golden retriever.
I am taking new clients as of March 20, 2025 and will be working three evenings a week.
