Dr. Monica Dyer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, MPH, FNP, PMHNP
As a Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion is helping people feel seen, supported, and understood during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and safe space, and my goal is to offer care that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I am so grateful to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and many other mental health struggles. I provide both medication management and supportive therapeutic care.
For patients healing from trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a gentle approach that helps people move forward without being overwhelmed by their past. My background includes street medicine, community health, and international humanitarian work, all of which have shaped my respect for the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
When we hold shame about our bodies, we often become disconnected from ourselves and those around us. You might feel you have missed out on magical experiences with friends and lovers because you were distracted by comparison and cruel thoughts about your body. You might find it hard to stay present during sexual intimacy because you’re trying to imagine how your body is being perceived from different angles. Maybe you were taught by our culture or other influential figures that there was something wrong with you because of how your body looks or behaves. Repairing your relationship with your body is hard work that can powerfully shift your relationships, making you more available for pleasure and connection. We’re here for you on your journey to radical self-acceptance!

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for individuals struggling with obesity, focusing on the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive factors that contribute to weight-related challenges. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, habit formation, and lifestyle-focused interventions, I help clients develop sustainable changes in eating patterns, physical activity, and self-regulation. My work emphasizes long-term health, improved self-image, and realistic goal-setting, empowering clients to build consistency, resilience, and a balanced approach to overall well-being.

Obesity
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.

Odessa is the working-class counterpart to neighboring Midland in the Permian Basin oil economy, sharing the same boom-and-bust economic cycles but with a more industrial character, and the city's mental health landscape is dominated by the psychological impacts of energy market volatility on employment, income, and community stability. The city has faced significant challenges with crime, substance use, and social service strain during both boom and bust periods, and mental health infrastructure is limited relative to population need. Medical Center Health System provides behavioral health services, and community mental health resources supplement a limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include economic anxiety and instability, substance use and recovery, family and relationship stress, trauma, and the isolation of a remote West Texas community whose fortunes are inextricably bound to the price of oil.
