Skyla Hammond is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Hawaii. She brings a thoughtful, approachable style and five years of clinical experience to her work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges.

Having pursued her education later in life, she offers an understanding perspective on developmental transitions and the life stages that bring people to therapy. Skyla identifies as a conservative Christian and welcomes clients from any background who are seeking support.

Much of her clinical work has focused on supporting people with Serious Mental Illness, which she views as a strong foundation for treating concerns across the spectrum. She works with trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting and career challenges, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, ADHD, anger management, self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and provides coaching when helpful.

Skyla uses a range of evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relaxation and breathing techniques, among others. She believes people often have a clear sense of what they need and that therapy can provide the encouragement and practical support needed to move forward.
