Hi! My name is Mikala and I am a Professionally Licensed (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I am also the Founder and CEO of Live Simply Therapy LLC. The last 6 years of my career have primarily been rooted in Community Behavioral Health, which has allowed me the opportunity to work with amazing individuals of all different backgrounds as well as an array of diagnoses. In working with me, I will be sure to help you navigate your healing and wellness journey from an integrative approach. I aim to help you connect mind, body and spirit by examining the whole person and creating a clear path towards complete wellness and health. Let’s work together to simplify life…one thought at a time!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will explore the reason you are seeking therapy, how I can help you with your journey, and assessing your motivation and readiness for change. From there, we will work on creating a few goals that you would like to achieve throughout your healing journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Through my own challenging experiences in life, I bring a unique ability to empathize and help the client navigate their roadblocks. My strength lies in partnering with my clients to help them take control of their lives and leave therapy one day equipped to navigate this life with confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT has historically helped my clients gain a better understanding of the influence thoughts have on emotions and behaviors. This has led to much success in managing negative thinking and simplifying life.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In this approach, I aim to create a safe and non-judgemental space for your self-exploration, and ultimately your self-awareness. Person-centered approach is effective, in that it allows you to lead and navigate in the discovery of your own solutions.
Faith based therapy
I believe wellness is rooted in the Whole person, connecting spirit, mind and body- ultimately creating a clearer path to complete wellness. Although I have training from a Christian perspective, I have worked with many individuals of different faiths over the years.
