“I’ve had such an amazing experience working with Mikaela. What initially drew me to her was her ability to be authentic without compromising professionalism. She’s incredibly empathetic and thoughtful, and she always offers strategies that feel tailored to me as a person rather than a one size fits all approach. Her cultural sensitivity helped me feel seen and understood, and she created a space where I felt safe enough to be vulnerable and face things I had been avoiding. I would highly recommend working with her to anyone looking for supportive, intentional, and meaningful counseling. Thank you, Mikaela.”

Getting to know Mikaela Sutherland
I am a Mental Health Counselor-LP who believes healing is possible—even when it feels out of reach. I specialize in working with individuals navigating intergenerational trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, self-esteem challenges, motherhood transitions, and burnout from always having to hold everything together. Whether you’re in your 20s exploring identity or later in life realizing you’ve been surviving rather than living, I offer a supportive space where you can finally exhale and begin rewriting your story.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, attachment theory, DBT, and inner child work. Clients can expect warmth, honesty, along with moments of humor, because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy.
Change is inevitable, and together we can make it meaningful. I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey.
