Malyssa May, LMHC
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
Originally from Indianapolis, Malyssa has lived in the Muncie area for over 19 years. With two master’s degrees in counseling, Malyssa is also certified as an EMDR therapist and consultant and in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Malyssa is continually working to learn more about how to help patients who have experienced trauma. She especially likes to involve therapy that helps access the right brain, such as play therapy and expressive arts. Malyssa sees children, teens, and adults at the Open Door White River location.
Malyssa previously worked at Open Door in 2022. When asked why she decided to come back to Open Door, she said, "I agree with Open Door’s mission and knew I had more to give. The people are really great. They are friendly, care about their patients, and are motivated for the right reasons."
In her free time, Malyssa enjoys camping, game nights, watching Survivor and Big Brother, and spending time with family and friends. As a way to "practice what she preaches," Malyssa's daily schedule involves a morning workout and a mindfulness routine.
