Hooray! We are so excited to welcome Missa Borah to the co-op! She is open to new clients and in-network with many insurance plans! You can connect with her via our Linktree.

About Missa:

Hi, my name is Missa. I work with individuals facing a variety of obstacles, including trauma, shame, addiction, questions about s*xuality and gender identity, religious trauma, and the search for deeper self-acceptance. As part of the LGBTQ community, I understand firsthand the importance of an affirming space to explore your experience. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of who you are, or struggling to find your place in a world that often feels unwelcoming, I am honored to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I am trained in EMDR and have experience with a variety of other modalities including CBT, ACT, and MI.

I offer telehealth services for residents of South Carolina and California, and in-person services for Charleston, SC residents.

Whether you’re seeking to heal from past wounds, explore your identity, or simply find joy in who you are, I offer a non-judgmental and safe space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we can work toward cultivating a life of deeper self-compassion, authenticity, and lasting joy.

Meet Caroline, an amazing therapist in the Co-Op! She is licensed in SC and CO, and open for new clients. Here are three facts about Caroline, does she sound like the right therapist for you?
——
1) In addition to social work, I have also studied international development. I love to explore both the US and other countries and spent many years working with the refugee population.
2) While therapy can be serious, I believe humor can be a powerful tool for connection and healing. When appropriate, I use humor to lighten the mood, foster trust, and help clients see things from a different perspective.
3) Instead of following a rigid script or specific modality, I prefer to connect with each client on a personal level and adapt my approach based on their unique needs and experiences. I believe this flexibility creates a more authentic and effective therapeutic relationship.

And what’s more - our fear of regret can be so powerful, it may make us stick with the status quo even if our intuition says we shouldn’t. (Indecision freeze.) But if you’re making a decision that aligns with your values, then it is the right decision!

These amazing therapists all have openings for new clients! Whether you’re looking to heal from trauma, grow your coping skills, or build healthier relationships, we can connect you with the therapist who’s the right fit for you. 💜💜
