Mikaylee Dato

I’m Mikaylee, and I am excited you are here and taking this step towards bettering yourself! I provide counseling for children, adolescents, and adults. I bring insight and dedication to helping clients feel seen and empowered to grow from life’s challenges and develop resilience, making therapy a collaborative journey toward greater well-being. My goal is to help you gain confidence, and live a healthier more fulfilling life. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings providing individual, group, and family counseling. I have also enjoyed providing therapy services to multiple private and public elementary and high schools to make access to care easier for students and families. I utilize a client centered, strengths-based, trauma informed approach to therapy. I believe therapy should be a safe and collaborative process to guide individuals to evaluate, understand, and process thoughts and experiences that will allow for greater healing. I will meet you where you are at in your journey and draw upon your strengths to empower you as you process all life has thrown at you, as well as challenge thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that might be keeping you stuck. I will create a therapeutic space that is inviting, excepting, and honest. I am also very direct and straight forward. I know your time is valuable and I don’t want to waste it, so I move quickly and provide many useful resources. My goal is for you to feel your most confident and successful self to be able to tolerate and successfully navigate this unpredictable world. With my holistic approach, I will integrate all facets of your life into our work. I tailor my theory and interventions to meet each client's individual needs and abilities and therefore, have understanding and practice in various evidence-based modalities.
