​Tracy Regard, LCSW, BACS, & Co-Founder of Beyond A Spectrum

Tracy Regard LCSW-BACS received a Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology with a concentration in Human Services Management and a minor in Sociology from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge in 1996.  She received her Master’s in Social Work from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1999.

Along with Thomas Houdek, LCSW-BACS, she established Avoyelles’ first private counseling practice and worked there from 2005 until 2015. During this time, she realized the great shortage of services for individuals with autism and special needs in Avoyelles parish and the surrounding areas and dedicated herself to the cause.

In 2015, Tracy completed a certification in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) for children aged 0-5 under the supervision of Dr. Joy Osofsky, Dr. Phillip Stepka, and Dr. Amy Dickson all with the LSU Health Sciences Center Harris Infant Mental Health program.  Tracy is also certified as a CARF surveyor.

Tracy resides in Marksville with her husband and three sons and enjoys traveling, attending sports events with her family and is an avid animal lover.
