Skyla Hammond

Skyla Hammond is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Hawaii with five years of clinical experience. She attended school later in life and uses that perspective to relate to common developmental and life-stage challenges clients face.

As a conservative Christian, Skyla welcomes anyone seeking help and approaches each person without judgment. She works with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Much of her clinical experience has involved supporting people with Serious Mental Illness (SMI), which she sees as a strong foundation for working with clients from diverse backgrounds and presenting issues. Her approach draws on a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and relaxation and breathing strategies, among others.

Skyla believes people often understand themselves best and that with encouragement and practical support they can move forward in life. She is licensed to practice in Hawaii, which indicates she has met the state’s requirements to provide mental health services (license MHC-554). She looks forward to working with anyone ready to take steps toward improving their life.
