Skyla Hammond, LMHC

Skyla Hammond is a Hawaii Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings a thoughtful, values-informed approach to therapy. She began her formal education later in life and uses that lived experience to relate to the developmental challenges that arise at different stages. As a conservative Christian, she welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance in all work.

Her practice is relatively young, yet she has substantial clinical experience working with people who have serious mental illness, which informs her ability to support clients facing a wide range of concerns. Areas of focus include trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues and offers coaching and support for compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Skyla has held certifications in trauma, anger management, and dementia care, though those certifications are not current. She integrates a variety of techniques into her work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, relaxation and breathing strategies, and other client-centered methods. LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a credential indicating professional training to provide counseling services. Skyla approaches therapy with the belief that people often understand themselves well and benefit from encouragement and practical support to move forward in life. She is open to working with anyone ready to take steps toward improvement and accepts clients internationally.
