Shifting from Blame to Understanding in Relationships

When conflict arises, it's easy to fall into the 'blame game.' But what if we shifted our focus from 'Who's at fault?' to 'What needs are unmet?' This simple change can transform heated arguments into opportunities for deeper connection and understanding. Instead of reacting, try asking, 'Can you help me understand what you’re feeling?' It opens the door for empathy, not accusation.

The "Real Human" Approach to Therapy

If you’re looking for a therapist who sits in a dusty office and nods silently while you talk, you’ve probably come to the wrong page.

I’m Stacy Reynolds, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist-Associate and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor-Intern, who is dedicated to helping stressed professionals & couples, cycle-breaking parents, and anxious overthinkers, including children, reclaim their time, their energy, and their peace of mind.

Why Work With Me?
I’m known for a style that is:

Unfiltered & Authentic: I bring my whole self to our sessions (and yes, that includes my sense of humor and my "F*cks to Give" jar).

Grounded in Reality: We won't just talk about your childhood; we’ll work on practical strategies to help you handle tomorrow morning’s stress.

Dog-Friendly: My unofficial co-therapist, Theodore (the one with the orange bowtie), helps keep the vibe warm and low-pressure.

My Philosophy
Life is messy. Sometimes it’s heavy, sometimes it’s frustrating, and sometimes it’s just plain exhausting. I provide a space where you don’t have to "perform" or have it all figured out. Whether we’re setting boundaries, processing trauma, or laughing through the absurdity of life, I’m in your corner.

Ready to refill your jar?
I am currently accepting new clients for In-person in Abilene or Telehealth sessions in Texas.

Meet the unofficial co-therapist, Theodore! In my practice, we believe that comfort is the first step toward growth. My goal is to create an environment that feels as warm and welcoming as a prancing doggie.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start therapy, this is it. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and—dare I say—happy.

The Power of Gentle Boundaries

Boundaries aren't about building walls; they're about creating safe spaces. For yourself, and often, for your relationships. Learning to say 'no' gently, or 'not right now,' isn't selfish—it's an act of self-preservation and a clear communication of your needs. What's one small boundary you can practice setting this week, even if it's just with yourself? Share below if you feel comfortable! 👇

Is your body sending you signals you don't understand? 🚥

Our nervous system is constantly reacting to our environment. When you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or suddenly irritable, it's often your body's way of saying, 'Hey, something's up!' Learning to tune into these subtle cues is the first step towards true self-regulation and healing. Take a moment today to notice where you feel tension in your body. No judgment, just observation.

One Year. Deep Breaths. Big Future.

Today marks exactly 365 days since I started this practice. This photo is a little "behind the scenes" of where I sit, listen, and hold space for the stories that matter most—yours.

Looking back, I am overwhelmed by the resilience I’ve witnessed in this room. But looking forward? I am even more excited. While I’m not pulling back the curtain just yet, Year Two is bringing some major growth to Brain & Heart Healing: 🐾 A tiny new "intern" is currently in training to eventually bring some four-legged comfort to our sessions.

Thank you for trusting me with your hearts and your healing. Here’s to many more years of dignity, accountability, and growth.

Sometimes we need permission to feel what we feel.
This is it.

You don’t have to downplay your pain. You don’t need to justify why it hurts. You are allowed to take up space in the healing process—especially on the days you’re not okay.

This space was created to remind you:
You’re not alone. You’re not too much. You’re human.
And that’s more than enough.

A recent study from the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science found that autistic adults perform comparably to nonautistic people in a divergent thinking creativity task. According to the authors, autistic adults report more creative accomplishments and behaviors than nonautistic adults, but these differences could be explained by attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ). The study concludes that enhanced in may largely be driven by co-occurring attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Read the open access article: https://bit.ly/3FPUy0i

You’re not broken.
You’re healing.
And healing doesn’t always look like soft music and lit candles.
Sometimes it looks like setting boundaries, feeling things you’ve stuffed down for years, or finally saying “no” without guilt.

Today, let this be your reminder:
Healing is messy.
Healing is brave.
And healing is still healing—even on the days it feels like you’re not doing it right.

🌿 You’re doing more than taking a break—you’re taking care of your nervous system.

Sometimes healing looks quiet.
It looks like canceling plans.
Like stepping outside for a deep breath.
Like saying “I don’t have to fix everything today.”

Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or toxic positivity.
It’s about slowing down long enough to listen—
To your body.
To your story.
To the parts of you that are finally ready to be heard.

If you’re tired of powering through, you’re not alone.
We do things differently here—gently, holistically, and at your pace.

✨ A safe space. A grounded guide. A next step.
