Skyla Hammond, LMHC

Skyla Hammond is a Hawaii Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, anger, and other life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Skyla describes a practical, person-focused style. She leans on Client-Centered Therapy to follow a client's lead and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice choices and take small steps forward.

Her background includes experience with serious mental illness, which she says gave her a broad foundation for helping people with many issues. She trained later in life and brings that perspective to conversations about development and change. That history informs how she supports someone working through long-standing patterns or sudden life shifts.

Skyla lists a wide range of focus areas including trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar and aging and geriatric issues. She mentions previous certifications in trauma, anger management, and dementia care but does not present those as current certifications. Her credential is HI LMHC.

In sessions she uses practical techniques such as breathing and relaxation work alongside solution-focused strategies. She emphasizes collaboration and encouragement, helping people identify what they already know about themselves and take steps they choose toward managing anger, stress, sleep, parenting demands, or career concerns.
