With the stress of everyday life stuff, not to mention occasional difficult life transitions or relationship challenges, many of us could use the guidance of a therapist at some point or another. When it comes to finding a therapist, Midland, TX can offer more choice than many surrounding rural and suburban areas, but finding a licensed mental health clinician isn’t always easy, even in populated metro areas.
One of the reasons that finding the right therapist can be complicated is that there are a number of techniques and styles found in counseling. Psychology as a whole offers a variety of evidence-based approaches that can be more or less effective depending on what behavioral issues are being addressed. Someone seeking support because they abuse substances likely wouldn’t get far with special education rehabilitation counseling, they would want an addictions counselor. Like the traditional medical field, psychology has specialization, and what you need may not always be accessible or available nearby.
Choosing online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp can offer a wider range of options. BetterHelp has over 30,000 mental health care professionals that specialize in different approaches and have experience with a variety of populations. Whether you want a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a licensed professional counselor associate, a social worker, or an addiction specialist, simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will connect you with a therapist that meets your personal needs.
For some, therapy cost can be a factor. BetterHelp doesn’t accept insurance, but because their practitioners don’t operate in office space many find that online therapy is more affordable than in-person practice. And with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
Talk therapy offers a number of human services that can lead to a more fulfilling life. If you live in the Midland area and have been thinking about starting therapy for any reason, from improving relationships, to managing stress, BetterHelp can help get you started on your own wellness journey.

“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.

I have worked with individuals experiencing a variety of issues including addiction, trauma, autism and/or Aspergers, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, LGBTQIA, and borderline personality disorder. I have worked with clients aged 4 to 65.

I would describe myself as open-minded and relatable. I truly believe that we are all on different paths, but with communication and empathy, we can work together to help each other grow.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Hello! I am a licensed psychologist, licensed marriage and family therapist, and an international parenting, divorce, and coparenting coach. I have been working with single adults, couples, children and families for over 25 years. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have problems with self-worth, who have experienced trauma, and with families in conflict. I am Level II trained in the Gottman Method, and utilize this extensively with couples. My clients are learning to master such issues as overcoming depression; trauma recovery; anxiety reduction; managing existential and identity issues, reducing stress, and controlling anger. I have counseled in mental health, addiction treatment, and criminal justice settings. Currently, I have a private practice in south Florida (family-options.com), where I supervise master's level mental health counseling and psychology trainees. I also teach graduate-level courses in ethics, disaster and trauma response, abnormal behavior, community counseling, and criminal behavior, and I mentor graduate dissertation students in forensic psychology. I have worked with individuals who are struggling with a wide range of concerns, including such things as managing anxiety, stress and depression; estrangement from family; career changes; marital infidelity; recovery from divorce; marital communication difficulties; and parenting challenges. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have problems with self-worth, who have experienced trauma, and with families in conflict. Through our interactions, I hope that you will find a safe place where we can explore your concerns and develop a plan that will have you actively pursuing your goals and living the life you want. Together, we can undo false belief systems and unhealthy habits. My therapeutic style is strengths-based, meaning that I will work with you to identify your strengths and the strategies that have worked well for you in the past, and nurture those skills to their highest potential. I am committed to getting to know you as an individual, and working hard to earn your trust and discover exactly what changes you hope to make in your life. You are the expert in your own life and in what you need, and the pace in which you would like to go, and it's my honor to adapt my counseling style to your needs and help you create the life that you want. I may "push" you out of your comfort zone at times in order to challenge you to meet the goals you have set for yourself, but I will provide you with a safe environment and will always be empathetic and patient and put you first. I am licensed as a psychologist in Florida, California, Arizona, and Iowa, and have obtained an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission. ** Please note that I am available ONLY via asynchronous messaging and will not be scheduling live sessions. *** ** If you choose me as your counselor, our work together will be exclusively via messaging -- I will substantively answer any of your messages within 24 hours or less. ** I strive to support, encourage, educate, and empower my clients.
