Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate

My name is Mikayla, and I am a licensed professional counselor candidate with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University, where I graduated in spring 2024. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Spanish as well as one in Psychology from CSU Pueblo and have years of experience working as a qualified Spanish interpreter. Through my work as an interpreter in various mental health settings, I discovered my true passion for counseling. On a personal note, I have a deep appreciation for art and enjoy activities such as knitting, music, reading, and spending quality time with my dog and my loved ones.

How I Work:

I believe that clients should receive counseling in the language of their hearts, which is why I offer services in both English and Spanish. I approach counseling with cultural awareness and sensitivity, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma therapy utilizing BST and Existential therapy into my practice. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach, tailoring care to meet the unique needs of each individual client.
