Meet Mikayla Jurczykowski, a Counseling Associate that offers individual, couples, family, and group therapy for teens and adults navigating relationship issues, anxiety, and stress management. Mikayla also helps clients with body image, self-esteem, life transitions, and women’s issues. She earned her Bachelor’s in Psychology at Aurora University and is currently pursuing her Master’s in Counseling at Alder University. Mikayla is certified in CPR, Psychological First Aid (PFA), and FEMA-ICS 100, equipping her to help those in times of need.
Mikayla’s therapeutic approach is grounded in authenticity and a commitment to culturally responsive, strengths-based care. She draws from Adlerian theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop insight, foster self-compassion, and build practical coping skills. Mikayla also incorporates mind-body practices and motivational interviewing to create a warm, collaborative, and client-centered space.
Mikayla has a special interest in couples counseling, where she brings structure and calm to sessions that can feel emotionally overwhelming. Her goal is to help each partner feel heard while guiding the relationship toward healthy communication and mutual understanding. She uses evidence-based techniques like the Gottman Method to support couples in building trust, working through conflict, and strengthening their connection. In her anxiety therapy work, Mikayla helps clients identify the root of their worry and develop personalized tools to ease racing thoughts, manage physical symptoms, and feel more in control day to day.
When away from work, Mikayla loves being outdoors or spending time near the water. She has three adorable and energetic dogs and is a newly converted book lover. If Mikayla were to pick another career for a day, she would be a flight attendant because of her love of travel, especially after her recent trip to Europe.
