I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Hawaii with a fairly young practice. I attended school late in life, and understand life's developmental issues. I am a conservative Christian, and look forward to helping anyone who is seeking help. I am not judgmental, and can work with any population. Most of my work over the past 5 years has been with people with Serious Mental Illness (SMI). I believe this has given me a strong base to work with clients from all walks of life, facing all kinds of issues. I use a variety of techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, relaxation and breathing techniques, among others. I believe that people know themselves better than anyone, and often know what they need to do, and just need some support and encouragement to move forward in life.
Additional areas of focus: Stress, Anxiety, Relationship issues, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Depression, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Aging and geriatric issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Skyla Hammond. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have never done therapy and this was my first time giving BetterHelp a try. I was matched with Skyla Hammond and during our first session, I felt I was able to open up comfortably to her and not feel any judgement. It was a safe space that she provides and offers during your 1 on 1 with her and she has a welcoming presence that allows you to express yourself freely and openly. I never had thought I would had try out therapy and I’m really glad I was able to match with someone like her. Skyla is really nice, very welcoming, and wants to be there for you in any way possible.
