My name is Mikela Ferguson and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with individuals from all walks of life and specialize in trauma informed care, using evidence-based approaches and attachment theory.
My approach
My approach to therapy is tailored each session to meet the client's individual needs. I will collaborate with my clients using a Psychodynamic Approach to meet their goals and rediscover their strengths and self-worth. Together we will embrace a greater sense of wellbeing and wholeness in a safe, accepting environment.
My focus
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 will explore the link between the past and the present to address core wounds and maladaptive behavior patterns to foster growth and healing in the present.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, supportive, and reassuring. I listen deeply and provide nonjudgmental feedback. My clients often report feeling comfortable, safe, and uplifted after a session with me.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always known that becoming a therapist was a "calling" for me. I am drawn to listening and supporting others. I believe that we can all benefit from a guide on the path and that each person who finds inner peace contributes greatly to peace in the world.
My goals for you
There is a good reason why you are seeking services at this time and my job is to help identify that so that therapy is a fulfilling growth experience for you. Do you feel peaceful inside? Would you like to talk about it? Reach out to me and we can get the conversation started.
My first session with you
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and begin to identify your presenting concerns and goals for therapy. It is a chance for me to hear about your background and history. Most importantly, it is a time to establish rapport and ensure that we are a good fit moving forward.
