Grief counselors and therapists in Louisville, KY

Hello, I’m Misty, and I’m here to support you on your path toward growth and progress. If you’re seeking clinical services that help you move forward from where you are now, you’ve come to the right place.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky, working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and substance use. I know reaching out for therapy takes real courage, and my goal is to make our first conversation feel grounded and easy. When I'm not in session I'm usually writing, hiking, or keeping up with my grandkids — I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human conversation, not a script. If you're looking for a warm, non-judgmental space to work through what's weighing on you.

I have over 28 years of experience in education and mental health and hold master’s degrees in Counseling and Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience as a behavior coach, supporting children and adolescents with emotional regulation, anxiety, and coping skills. I have also facilitated community grief groups. My strengths‐based approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution‐Focused practices to help clients reach meaningful, practical goals.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, specializing in Psychiatry and Mental Health. I received my MSN at Northern Kentucky University and am currently completing my doctoral work. Over 20 years in the psychiatric/mental health field has helped me to build a robust foundation in psychiatric care, emphasizing a holistic and patient-centered approach.

Licensed in Kentucky with over six years of professional counseling experience, I specialize in assisting clients in overcoming life challenges stemming from various issues, including anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and abuse. My diverse clientele spans the age range of 10 to 65 and encompasses individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Beyond my counseling expertise, I have honed my problem-solving, stress management, and coping skills through my military background. Throughout my career, I have encountered a wide range of circumstances and challenges that necessitated the effective application of these skills. Recognizing that life often presents us with challenges and traumatic experiences that can leave us feeling isolated and misunderstood, my approach is to collaborate with you in identifying these obstacles and guiding you towards healing, growth, and a more fulfilling future. I firmly believe that you possess the expertise and inherent strengths to overcome the barriers that hinder genuine healing and personal growth. Embarking on a journey towards a more fulfilling and happy life requires courage, and I am committed to providing unwavering support and empowerment throughout your transformative process.

Living in survival mode is exhausting.

When you've experienced trauma or spent months—or even years—living with anxiety or depression, it can feel like your mind never gets a chance to rest. You may constantly expect the worst, feel emotionally drained, or wonder why it's so hard to move forward even when you're trying your best. The good news is that healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.

I'm Lorena, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps the brain process difficult experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. Whether you're healing from a single traumatic event or years of overwhelming experiences, my goal is to help you move beyond survival mode and rediscover a sense of peace, confidence, and hope.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I treat a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety and stress, mood disorders, trauma, depression, coping with chronic illness, military family life, and life transitions. I have 30 years of working with service members, families and support system members.
