Makayla Hammond, MSW Intern

University of Texas At Arlington
Hello, I am a developing therapist with a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am currently completing my clinical internship at Authentic Counseling and Coaching Center, where I am building experience supporting individuals with emotional and behavioral challenges.I have a special interest in working with individuals, children and adolescents. I am also becoming more interested about helping clients who have experienced trauma or struggle with mood disorders.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and a deep faith in God, which guides my commitment to serving others with compassion and purpose. I am interested in incorporating play therapy techniques when working with IED and younger clients, creating a safe and expressive space for emotional expression and emotional growth.

I am excited to continue growing as a social worker and I am committed to creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients of all ages and races can feel seen, heard, and valued!
