Missy Thompson, MSW

My approach to therapy is person-centered, culturally responsive, and rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life.

I work from a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens. That means we look at the full picture — not just symptoms, but your culture, community, family story, and the systems you navigate every day. I don't believe in fixing people. I believe in creating a safe, affirming space where you can be fully yourself without having to explain or shrink parts of who you are.

I use tools from narrative therapy, CBT, and mindfulness, but I always adapt them to what feels right for you. My clients often come in feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck after a big transition, and they want a space that is LGBTQ+ affirming and grounded in cultural humility.

I am an MSW intern offering telehealth across Florida, evenings and Saturdays. I offer affordable sessions through Open Path Collective $30 and reserve pro-bono spots for high-need clients.
