Dr. Tracy S. Reinhardt-Nelson
Hello! I am Dr. Reinhardt-Nelson, licensed clinical psychologist and owner of Human Being Therapy. I specialize in helping people understand how their past is impacting them today, and how to move on from what is weighing them down while honoring what they wish to hold onto. Being human is not easy even when we get a pretty good start to life, let alone when we have had traumatic childhoods, relationships and experiences. No matter how challenging things are or what has happened, it is possible to bring a greater sense of peace to our lives through healing. It is my goal to help each client find their unique path towards maximum health and wellbeing.
Evidence Based Treatment
I utilize a variety of evidence based therapeutic techniques which are chosen to meet each clients needs and preferences. Some of the specific methods I find most helpful and effective include Somatic Resourcing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Somatic Resourcing includes a variety of exercises that help us to connect with the present moment and become more aware of our emotions, physical sensations, and thought processes in a non-judgmental manner. These exercises also help us feel in touch with the support and resources we have available to us. Practicing these skills helps us to reduce the impact of emotional triggers, increase our ability to make conscious choices, and feel more grounded even when we are faced with stressors. Increasing our ability to be self aware in these ways also helps us make decisions and take actions which are in line with our value systems more often.
EMDR has been proven for over thirty years to significantly relieve symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) so that we can move beyond the painful experiences of our past. It has also been proven to be effective in helping us let go of long-held negative beliefs about ourselves, typically originating in childhood, that hold us back from the life we desire. EMDR helps us gain a deep understanding of ourselves and to further integrate our life experiences. There are multiple steps in this process to ensure that our journey through some of the most difficult moments of your life are handled with care and respect. A client I work with stated so clearly what EMDR can do for a person when she said, "EMDR changes you from the inside out. You become who you want to be."
In Person and telehealth options
Telehealth Sessions

Telehealth Sessions
Human Being Therapy offers psychotherapy via telehealth for Washington State residents. If we decide to incorporate extended trauma sessions (sessions longer than one to two hours at a time) meeting in person at those times is usually best. Telehealth sessions take place via my client portal. You will need a private location, a device with video and audio capability, and an internet connection.

Billing and diagnosis
Out Of Network Provider
I am an out of network provider which means that I do not bill insurance for our work together. If you need reimbursement from your insurance please be sure to check with them about your specific benefits for out of network providers. I will provide you with a document called a superbill after each session with the information needed to submit to your insurance. I am happy to help with what questions to ask. You may pay with HSA and FSH cards, and any major credit card.
Diagnosis
If you will be submitting superbills to your insurance I am required to use a diagnosis code in order for them to approve any allowed reimbursement for you. It is always your right to know what diagnosis I use and we can discuss this at any time. If you are not submitting superbills to your insurance diagnosis is not required, though I may still utilize them in order to understand more fully what we are working on and the best ways in which to approach therapy.
