LPC, 5 years of experience
My name is Mikela Ferguson, and I am a Licensed Professional Health Counselor (LPC) in Texas, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I support my clients to address a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, and past trauma. I tailor each session to the client's individual needs using evidence-based approaches and a trauma informed attachment-based paradigm to get the best results. My communication style is calm, supportive, and reassuring. I listen deeply and provide nonjudgmental feedback.
I strive to provide a welcoming environment for clients to feel comfortable to share their goals for counseling. We will explore your concerns, thoughts, and feelings together and seek the therapeutic approach that best meets the client's needs.
I help clients find the link between the past and the present to address core wounds, limiting beliefs, and maladaptive behavior patterns to foster growth and healing in the present. I attune to the individual client and follow their lead while providing guidance, support, and tools.
I work with individuals from all walks of life and specialize in trauma informed care. I support my clients to address a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, life changes, and past trauma. I work with clients who are seeking peace and fulfillment in their lives but may be held back by the effects of early trauma.
Together we explore how early experiences with caregivers shape present day relationship quality with regard to communication, trust, and unique relationship patterns.
Through the use of compassion we develop an understanding approach to the self to help with struggles of shame and self-criticism that can result from early experiences of abuse and neglect.
I help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences by focusing on the impacts of trauma and providing strategies to manage and reduce symptoms that result from traumatic past.
