Getting to know LaKeisha Thompson

Hi there, I'm LaKeisha! My name is LaKeisha Thompson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Ridgeland, MS. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Jackson State University. I truly believe that seeking therapy is the first step in your healing process. My approach My therapeutic approach centers on discovering your strengths and formulating goals based on them. We are all good at something, and spotting your strengths helps build a strong foundation for a healthy mind. My focus Most of my therapeutic experience is with adults. I have treated depression, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. I help clients navigate life changes and build skills to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook. My communication style Everyone has a unique communication style. I take a direct approach by initiating important conversations while allowing you time to process your thoughts. My journey to mental healthcare I chose Social Work because I love helping people. I considered the differences I wanted to make in society and my community. Providing emotional support makes a difference, but combining it with guidance yields amazing results. My goals for you Goal setting is a collaborative effort. Your input is key in forming goals and objectives. Goals must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely (S.M.A.R.T.). My first session with you In our first session, we’ll spend most of the time discussing how you’ve been feeling recently, and I’ll ask questions to understand why. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where to go from there.
