Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. I’m Dr. Tackett and I am a psychologist. I am opening a private practice with Dr. Bradstreet in Lubbock, Texas this October 2019. Although I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of South Carolina and my graduate degrees at the University of North Texas. Nevertheless, Wreck ‘em Tech! We are thrilled to join and serve this community.
I intend to use this blog as an informal space to answer frequently asked questions, provide education, and offer general recommendations to current clients, prospective clients, and anyone who may be curious about what mental health services have to offer. As my specialties are eating disorders and sport psychology, you can definitely expect to see posts about these topics.
My plan at this point is to release one blog post per month. Please expect this plan to be flexible - some months may have more posts and others may have less. My goal is to always have strong content with a little humor squeezed in when possible. The field of psychology, including therapy, often have the reputation of being focused on the negative aspects of life and our more painful emotions. Although this can be true, I find psychology and therapy are most dynamic and powerful when they incorporate the entire spectrum of life’s experiences and emotions. So, if you find yourself smiling, laughing, nodding along, or raising your eyebrows as you read these blogs - I’ve done my job well.
While you’re anxiously awaiting my next post, you can check us out on social media, where we also post helpful mental health-related content.
