Healing does not have to wait for rock bottom. We sit with Tracy Reid, MFT of Holistic Wellness Center OC to explore a grounded model of care that blends evidence-based therapy with integrative practices, helping high-functioning people who are quietly struggling find real, sustainable relief.

Tracy shares how EMDR, ketamine therapy, and trauma-focused counseling work alongside somatic tools like yoga, meditation, sound healing, and energy work to calm the nervous system and unlock change that talk therapy alone can miss. Her path weaves professional training with lived experience, revealing why the body holds stories the mind cannot always access and how regulation becomes the bridge from coping to growth. We unpack common myths—especially the belief that you must be in crisis to deserve help—and offer a clearer picture of outpatient mental health as supportive, empowering, and deeply human.

We also touch on the center’s word-of-mouth roots and the culture that forms when practitioners have tested the same tools they now offer. Tracy opens up about her own grounding rituals—hiking, snowboarding, travel, and time with her kids—and why restoration outside the office keeps the work clean and present. If you’ve been managing life on the surface while feeling frayed underneath, this conversation offers language, options, and hope. You’ll leave with a better understanding of nervous system regulation, integrative care, and practical steps to seek support before the cliff edge appears.
