Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Jackson, MS covered by Aetna

I came to train and serve as a counselor after being helped by counseling in my 40s. Sometimes reaching out for help and making changes in life is scary and overwhelming. Sometimes we need support as we navigate these changes. I love to support my clients as they make life-giving changes.

Sometimes life doesn’t feel like something you’re managing—it feels like something you’re reacting to.

Emotions can feel intense or unpredictable. Stress builds quickly. Relationships become harder to navigate. You may find yourself shutting down, lashing out, overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed by things that don’t seem to affect others in the same way.

I’m Kristopher, a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship challenges, family conflict, and emotional regulation difficulties. My work focuses on helping people understand what’s happening beneath their reactions so they can begin to feel more in control of themselves and their relationships.

Many of the people I work with are not “broken”—they’re overwhelmed, under-supported, or carrying emotional patterns that were never given space to be understood or healed.

With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.

I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

If anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship stress, or the challenges of living with a health disability have been weighing on you, you do not have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a space to feel understood, gain clarity, and move forward with more confidence. I work to create a warm, respectful environment where you can be yourself, feel heard, and build on your strengths. Together, we can work toward meaningful change in a way that feels supportive, personalized, and realistic for your life.

My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience as a therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals and groups navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My practice focuses on supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and the effects of trauma.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 21 years of experience supporting mental health and wellness across the lifespan. My professional journey has been rooted in behavioral health settings, where I’ve had the privilege of working closely with both children and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, sleep-related concerns, and substance-use disorders.

I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Mississippi Medical Center and also hold a Master’s degree in Nursing Education from William Carey University. My background allows me to combine clinical expertise with education and advocacy, ensuring that clients feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout their care.

I’m Michele Ellis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. With over a decade of experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the social, emotional, and psychological challenges people face. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs—meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and create a path toward meaningful, lasting change.
