Trauma does not always look the way people expect it to. It can show up as constant anxiety, as physical symptoms with no clear medical cause, or as a persistent feeling that something is just off. Skyler Anderson, RMHCI

Healing Trauma, Building Resilience

Skyler Anderson works at the intersection of trauma, chronic illness, and mental health - a space where many therapists lack the training or experience to be truly effective. As a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI), Skyler brings fresh clinical training alongside a genuine depth of understanding about what it means to carry both physical and psychological pain at the same time.

Skyler's approach to trauma therapy is grounded in the recognition that healing is not linear and cannot be rushed. Whether a client is working through a single traumatic event, processing complex PTSD from years of adverse experiences, or trying to understand how a chronic illness diagnosis has reshaped their entire sense of self, Skyler provides a steady, consistent presence.

Skyler sees clients in person at the Lakeland office and by telehealth anywhere in Florida, which makes her one of the most reachable therapists on the team. That flexibility matters, because many trauma survivors struggle to maintain consistent care when logistics get in the way.

Skyler works closely with Ascend's supervising clinicians and coordinates with the psychiatry team when medication management might complement therapy. That integrated approach is especially important for clients dealing with PTSD-related sleep disruption, anxiety, or depression that benefits from both talk therapy and medical support.
