Mikela Hallmark, MS, LPC – Founder
It is my joy to serve this community. I tend to see a lot of high achievers who set unrealistic and demanding expectations of themselves. While they long to reach their personal goals, they find themselves experiencing anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. My clients would describe me as someone who works with them to release judgment and care for themselves while pursuing their passions.
In terms of experience, I worked in business before becoming a counselor, and that helps me connect with some of my clients who might achieve in this area. And, I’ve been a counselor for around thirteen years, serving in various capacities in residential treatment, clinical leadership and administration, and in private practice. I’ve received training in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, ERP for anxiety and OCD, EFT for couples counseling, treating affairs for couples, attachment based trauma treatment, treating depression and anxiety counseling, and more. I am also trained in Gottman Method (Level 3) which is for couples therapy, and certified in EMDR which is an incredible trauma treatment. I’m a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, and a licensed mental health counselor in Florida.
I am passionate about avoiding judgment, exploring practical solutions, and helping you explore feelings and some of the more complicated things in life that don’t necessarily have easy solutions (which can seem like an impractical approach for some of my high achievers.) But that’s okay, we work with it all.
