“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is a metaphor used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude in the face of adversity. Lemons represent adversity or difficulty in life and making lemonade is turning those difficulties into something sweet or positive. It is estimated that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health disorder at one point in their lives. Consequently, nearly two-thirds of those people living with a mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Reaching out for help, demonstrates strength and courage and a willingness to persevere! Stacy Reynolds strives to bring an integrated approach, within her experience, expertise, clarity, goal - setting, and has the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively navigate difficult life issues.

Hello and thank you for taking time to look at my page. I know how hard it can be to take the steps necessary to start making change in your life. Finding the right therapist is an important part of the journey so I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. My first goal when working with a client is to provide a safe space where they are allowed to be vulnerable and open up about the things they have been going through in their life. My role is to honor my client's stories and experiences and be there to listen and validate the things that are being shared with me. My approach also includes asking questions to get my clients thinking, pointing out the strengths I see in my clients, and challenging self-defeating beliefs. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families and I believe that the relationships in our lives have a tremendous impact on us. I strive to work with my clients so that they can build strong, healthy relationships, but also honor who they are as an individual. Therapy can be scary and hard at times, but I believe that when my clients learn about themselves and open up new ways of living life, they are empowered! I cannot wait to meet you and help you along in your life journey!

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300
- With a clinician: $100
While many psychologists in Petersburg may not take health insurance, some in the state of Texas may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session.

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Petersburg is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
