“Misty came two times a week to talk to my son. When she first came my son was in a bad place. After she came a couple of times he started getting better. After a while he started coming out his room, started making friends and got in a band at school and his grades was getting better. Misty really cares about her patients

Getting to know Misty Lawrence
Sometimes people come to therapy because they are anxious, overwhelmed, grieving, or emotionally exhausted. Other times, they come because life keeps repeating the same painful patterns—and they are finally ready for something deeper.
Misty Lawrence helps clients do that deeper work!
As a Licensed Master Social Worker in Louisiana and Maryland with more than a decade of experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, counseling, community mental health, and therapeutic support, Misty has worked alongside individuals rebuilding after trauma, navigating life transitions, healing from loss, and moving beyond survival mode.
Her work is especially powerful for clients who feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, unhealthy relationships, grief, anxiety, depression, self-sabotaging behaviors, or unresolved trauma.
What makes Misty different is that she understands healing from both sides of the room. Her approach is informed not only by clinical training, but also by lived experience with trauma and loss. She understands that healing is rarely linear, that growth can feel uncomfortable, and that lasting change often requires more than learning coping skills.
Misty integrates CBT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness practices, nature-informed healing, personality exploration, and strengths-based interventions to help clients understand the patterns beneath the pain and build a life that feels more intentional, aligned, and emotionally free.
She works with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood instability, grief and loss, relationship challenges, identity concerns, emotional dysregulation, substance use issues, life transitions, and rebuilding self-worth.
Clients often describe her as direct, compassionate, insightful, and deeply authentic. She creates a space where people feel safe enough to be honest—and supported enough to change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Misty's message to her future client:
You may have spent years surviving, adapting, carrying everyone else, or convincing yourself that you just need to “push through.” But healing is not simply learning how to carry more.
If you’re ready to rebuild, rise, and do the deeper work, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I’m very grateful for the support and guidance I received from Misty. She created a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where I felt truly heard and understood. Her insight, patience, and encouragement helped me through some very difficult times and gave me tools that continue to help me in everyday life.
I always felt respected during our sessions, and I appreciated how thoughtful and attentive they were to my needs and concerns. Working with her made a meaningful positive impact on my emotional well-being and personal growth.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and genuinely supportive therapist.
