Missy Cheese
"Missy Cheese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over ten years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, and self-esteem challenges. Drawing from her work at leading institutions like UCLA and UCSF, Missy offers compassionate, goal-oriented care that blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), and trauma-informed practices. Missy follows a brief treatment model, typically working with clients in 10–12 session frameworks focused on clear goals, collaborative agenda setting, and regular feedback. Her integrative approach helps clients build insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and apply skills in everyday life. She also draws from psychodynamic therapy to support deeper emotional awareness when helpful. Missy has worked in both outpatient and academic medical settings, and is experienced in group and individual therapy. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys outdoor activities, reading historical fiction, traveling, and spending time with loved ones."
