Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in stress, or unsure about your next steps, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point where they want things to feel different but aren’t quite sure how to get there. You might feel mentally exhausted, disconnected, or like you’re carrying more than you can manage on your own. I’m a licensed therapist in Mississippi and Wisconsin with over 11 years of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I work with individuals who are ready to feel more grounded, clear, and in control, even if they’re not sure where to begin.
My name is Lacey. I am a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi School of Social Work. I have experience in child welfare, medical and clinical social work. I work with clients ages 5 and up. I have specialized training in forensic interviewing and trauma focused CBT. I work with individuals, couples and families.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Mississippi
Searching for therapists in Mississippi is easier when you start with the kind of support you want. Across the state, your options may vary between larger areas and more rural communities, so it helps to look for a therapist whose training and listed specialties match your needs. You might want support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their bios for details about their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Location and schedule matter, especially when comparing therapists across Mississippi. If you live near Jackson, Gulfport, Oxford, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual appointments, or both fit your routine. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of therapy in Mississippi can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new clients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
