Skyla Hammond, LMHC

Skyla Hammond is a Hawaii Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a credential that authorizes her to provide professional mental health counseling in the state of Hawaii. She began her formal education later in life and draws on that experience to relate to developmental challenges that occur across different life stages.

As a conservative Christian who describes herself as nonjudgmental, she welcomes clients from varied backgrounds and faith traditions. Much of her clinical work over an eight-year span has been with people experiencing Serious Mental Illness (SMI), which she says has built a solid foundation for supporting clients facing a wide range of concerns.

She has previously held certifications in trauma, anger management, and dementia care, though those specific certifications are not current. Her approach blends several practical techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and relaxation and breathing exercises, chosen to match each person’s needs and goals. Skyla emphasizes that people often understand themselves best and benefit from encouragement and support to take concrete steps forward.

Skyla notes a recent move from Hawaii to Missouri and indicates that her availability accounts for the time difference between those locations. She looks forward to working with anyone who is ready to take steps toward improving their life.
