I am Lacy Thompson. I live in California with my husband and young daughter. I was brought to the mental and behavioral health fields after being placed in a classroom for "emotionally disabled" students while student teaching. I changed my major to behavioral health, emphasizing child and adolescent disorders. I have a background in residential psychiatric, health care, and school settings, specializing in working with children and adolescents.
