Mykala BlackPre-Licensed Professional, MS MFT

About

I offer a steady place to land. My work is quiet, integrative, and relational, grounded in the belief that therapy doesn’t need to be performative to be powerful, and that meaningful change happens when you’re deeply understood. I work with individuals, couples, and families through a trauma-informed lens. To me, that means understanding how our past experiences, big or small, shape the way we show up in the world. We’ve all learned ways to protect ourselves that might not serve us anymore. In therapy, we’ll gently explore those patterns and find new ways to feel safe, supported, and connected. I often draw from attachment-based therapy, which explores how close relationships and past experiences shape the way we connect and respond to others now, and narrative therapy, which examines the stories we inherit from family, culture, and society. Together, we work to reshape these stories into something more empowering and true to who you are.
