Michaela Thompson - Licensed Clinical Social Worker / Therapist

Hello there! I'm Michaela Thompson owner of Be YOU Therapy and Consulting, and I'm so excited to connect with you. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker / Therapist in California, Kansas and Missouri. I bring a compassionate, empowering approach to my work. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can be your authentic self. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I offer individual therapy services to adults ages 21 and up, seniors, professionals, and graduate students who feel overwhelmed by life transitions. My goal is to help you rediscover purpose and gain clarity amidst the chaos. Whether you're struggling with keeping things together in your life, past traumas, pregnancy/postpartum, depression, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck, or need assistance with care coordination, I can provide a listening ear and research-backed tools to help you move forward. My professional experience has equipped me to address a wide range of mental health concerns in a personalized, solution-focused way. Together, we'll identify the root causes of what's holding you back. I earned my master's degree in social work from California State University, East Bay in 2018, focusing on community mental health advocacy and wellness. With 11 rewarding years in social work under my belt, I've had the privilege of working closely with people from all walks of life. Whether navigating the criminal justice system, coping with mood disorders, pregnancy, post-partum, life transitions, PTSD, medical issues, major life changes, grief, low self-esteem, or the unique challenges facing African Americans today - I've been there as a compassionate guide.
