(she/her)
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.

I have not had positive experiences with counselors in the past and was very apprehensive starting this process. However, I can with all sincerity say that I actually look forward to my sessions with Mikela. I feel like she listens to me, doesn't judge me, believes what I am saying, and is here to support me and to help me get to where I need to be. Which will be a challenge because I don't know where I need to be.

I really felt that Mikela was interested in what I had to say, even though I probably said too much. She listened, was supportive, and seemed to have genuine empathy. I am looking forward to help with how I can understand what I am feeling and what I can do to deal those feelings.
