Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Odessa, TX

Hello, I am so glad you found my page today, that alone is a big step!

I am a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I can hold space for both parties in a session. I can remain calm and objective during times of high conflict and times of deep pain.

I work from the science of attachment and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I am also educated in couples trauma, neurodivergent couples, executive and entrepreneurial couples, and infidelity repair.

I am a licensed clinical social worker providing secure telehealth therapy in both English and Spanish. With over 20 years of experience walking alongside families and individuals during times of challenge. My background includes working in schools, hospitals, immigration support organizations and community based programs.

Sometimes you don’t need someone to tell you what’s wrong—you already know something isn’t working. You may be overwhelmed, exhausted from holding everything together, struggling to quiet your mind, or simply tired of feeling like you should be doing better than you are. Therapy can be a place to finally put some of that down.

I’m LaToscha Sherman, MS, LPC, and my style is warm, conversational, curious, and practical. You don’t have to show up with the perfect words or know exactly what you want to work on. We can figure that out together. I believe therapy should be a space where you don’t have to leave parts of yourself at the door. Your culture, family, faith, identity, responsibilities, and the expectations you’ve learned to carry all matter here.

I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who are used to being the strong, capable, dependable one—the person everyone else counts on—but privately feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply tired. If you’ve gotten really good at showing up, achieving, adapting, or being what different spaces require of you, therapy can be a place where you don’t have to perform.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. We’ll spend time understanding not just what you’re experiencing, but why certain patterns keep showing up and what you can actually do differently. My goal isn’t for you to stay in therapy forever. I want you to understand yourself better, develop tools that work in your real life, and feel more confident navigating life outside of our sessions.

I'm Rita, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, dedicated to guiding individuals through their mental health journeys with compassion and evidence-based care.

I am a Texas-licensed professional counselor with experience in hospital behavioral health, substance-use treatment, and individual and group counseling. I earned a Master of Science from Prairie View A&M University, where my clinical training included assessment, psychopathology, addiction, group therapy, and individual psychotherapy.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional distress, life transitions, relationship concerns, substance-use challenges, and recovery-related needs. My professional background includes working with clients in hospital, behavioral health, and substance-use treatment settings.

Clients often describe my style as calm, compassionate, patient, and easy to talk to. I understand that emotional health is connected to relationships, daily habits, physical well-being, culture, and life experiences. My background in community wellness, yoga, meditation, and laughter also supports my whole-person perspective. Above all, I want clients to feel respected, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful and lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Supervisor in the state of Texas and have been practicing in the Austin area for over 11 years.

I believe every individual has incredible capacity for self-compassion, self-awareness and growth. Life is challenging and everyone needs increased support at times. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health concerns.
