Meet The Team

​Tracy Perry is a licensed social worker, grief counselor, and community mental health advocate with over 20 years of experience walking alongside youth and families through trauma, loss, and transformation. As the founder and executive director of The Ember Collective, she is deeply committed to creating safe, culturally-informed spaces for healing, resilience, and hope.

But beyond the credentials, Tracy is a mother, mentor, and woman of faith who knows firsthand what it means to rise from heartbreak and still choose joy. Her voice is honest, soulful, and rooted in both lived experience and clinical insight.

I am currently a Family Therapist working with all ages and family constellations. One specifically underserved population I am focused on is children under the age of five. I believe that our future generations benefit more when our children have the opportunity to heal before they become another statistic. Our families need support in understanding the impact of trauma and what it means to heal from a relational place. As a resident invested in the well-being of our community, I bring my clinical experience and ethical knowledge to this Board. 

When not overseeing the organization's finances, Belynda enjoys exploring the outdoors with her animals and believes in the power of The Ember Collective's faith based nurturing of the mental health of the members of the community. 

When the seed for The Ember Collective was first planted, I believed deeply in its mission—one that is close to my heart. I was eager to contribute my time, talents, and skills to help bridge the gap between vision and execution. I remain committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve through the organization.

My dedication to community service is longstanding, with volunteer work spanning organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, FMBC, Susan G. Komen, Jacob’s Ladder, Autism Wonders, and Love INC. These experiences reflect my enduring commitment to equity, holistic well-being, and the creation of compassionate, supportive communities for all.
