Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Odessa, TX

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and practical tools for lasting change. My clinical focus includes treating clients with anxiety, depression, relationship distress, trauma-related stress, life transitions and self-esteem issues. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‐based practices that support emotional healing and healthy relationships.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, empathetic, and a genuinely active listener. I bring authenticity and warmth into the therapy room—along with a healthy sprinkle of humor.

I have a master's degree in mental health counseling and have been working with the court systems for the last 9 years leading groups as well as individual/couple sessions.

I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in different practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, homeless and correctional services, and addiction. I treat and manage a range of disorders ( depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, addictions, etc).

Life is a continuous process of becoming, yet it's easy to feel a disconnect between where you are and where you truly want to be. If you're overwhelmed by intense emotions, feeling stuck, or constantly questioning your worth, please know that your feelings are valid, and that you deserve a space to process them.

I bring both clinical depth and lived experience to the therapeutic space. My academic training in the PhD program in Counseling at the University of North Texas gave me the foundational tools for my practice; my experience as an immigrant parent of two young children is what refined them. Navigating these overlapping worlds has given me a real understanding of the mental load of adulthood: the constant sense of being pulled in a dozen directions at once. In our sessions, I offer a warm, grounded space where you can set down the pressure to have it all figured out and focus on what you actually need to feel supported.

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.

My name is Misty East and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing therapy to adolescents, families, couples and the geriatric population for over 15 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns. My passion has been working with clients with trauma histories (sexual, physical and emotional).

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

You’re a sensitive, empathic, and motivated woman. Lately, you feel lost and numb, and wonder if you will ever feel better. You thought you were ok, but past experiences have reappeared. Anxiety and sadness have crept in. No one can tell because you hold it all together. Faking a smile, scrolling, avoiding, or withdrawing isn’t helping anymore. You’re exhausted, and you’ve shut down. You want to feel confident, less shame and self-doubt, and no longer feel the past is in control.

With a doctorate in developmental psychology, I bring both expertise and a down-to-earth approach to helping people find clarity and direction when life feels overwhelming. Originally from the Midwest, I’ve called Texas home for three decades, where I enjoy family life, yoga, travel, and the challenge of keeping up with too many pets. I bring warmth, experience, and a touch of humor to therapy, walking alongside clients as they navigate growth and change with compassion and perspective.
