There’s no place like Downtown Brookings, from restaurants and retail locations to hidden treasure service businesses. Specializing in teen and young adult counseling, Tracy Chapman Stuart added to the treasure trove by opening the Brookings branch of Yellow Brick Road Counseling and Therapy this past February.
Tracy credits both her valuable support system from her youth as well as her one-year-old daughter as personal motivators in opening the counseling branch. Wanting to pay forward the help she received, Tracy earned her degree in counseling. Her personal history and experiences as a girl mom help fuel her passion for helping young women feel safe, empowered, and accepted. The birth of her daughter also prompted her to open a branch office of the Sioux Falls-based practice as she felt would it give her more flexible hours for family life.
Her downtown office is consciously comfortable for her clients, from the natural colors and decorations to the furniture and rug to the pleasant scent to the empathetic consultant. Tracy Chapman Stuart describes herself as an empathetic learner who is dedicated to helping her clients through depression, anxiety, and other stressful life events.
Building relationships with all types of people inside and outside of her client base is Tracy’s favorite part of her job. She hopes that Brookings community members will immediately think of Yellow Brick Road as a safe and trustworthy place to go when they need help.
