Menemsha Thompson, LMSW

Message from Menemsha

I am distinctly passionate about helping people form safe, secure, and loving relationships. I support people who are looking to strengthen their existing partnerships and those still looking for love by focusing on communication and self-esteem issues through an attachment lens. I have worked with diverse populations, such as survivors of intimate partner violence and youth impacted by parental incarceration. I work closely within the LGBTQIA+ community and feel well suited to help people within this community navigate relationship issues, the stress of coming out, and more. Many of us avoid our feelings as a means of getting through the day. While this is a natural response to trauma or chronic stress, over time the numbing of pain leads to the numbing of pleasure. I believe that feeling our feelings is essential to the experience of living a full life. In our work together, I will teach you skills to stay grounded in your body and in touch with your emotions so that you can live with joy and meaningful connection. We will explore the beliefs and behaviors that kept you safe in the past but are now holding you back.
