Misty Lewis

Misty Lewis, LCSW, brings a clinical focus to a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, and compassion fatigue. She earned a Bachelor’s degree from Morehead State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky. Over seven years of clinical practice, she has worked primarily with adults and has supported people coping with substance use and major life transitions.

Her approach integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and elements of emotionally-focused work. She emphasizes collaborative goal setting, helping each person identify priorities and practical steps to address them. Treatment plans are developed in partnership so that goals reflect the individual’s values and circumstances.

In sessions she aims to create an environment where people can explore difficult emotions and patterns without judgment. She works with issues ranging from eating and sleeping concerns to intimacy-related problems, anger, self esteem, and challenges that emerge in caregiving and blended family situations. Her practice also attends to needs connected to aging, HIV and AIDS, and other medical and life stressors.
