Counseling Interns

Sooner or later, everyone falls down and needs a helping hand to get back on their feet. There is no shame in asking for help, and I firmly believe that God has placed me here to be a source of help and comfort to those in need. My name is Joshua Carroll, and I am a student attending Grand Canyon University to finish my master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Christian Counseling. I also possess a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Grand Canyon University.

Life was not always kind to me, and if I had someone to talk to maybe things would have been easier, and that has been one of my driving forces to become a Counselor. I have seen firsthand the hardships life can throw at you and I know the value of having someone to pick you back up and walk alongside you. I would be honored to walk with you through life’s challenges and help you see the value that Christ has placed in you.

Christ is a major part of my life and my ministry of helping others. I was saved in the 8^th grade and have since devoted my time to show God’s love and compassion to the people around me as I have walked through life. I have seen how God has moved through my life and used even the hardest things for good. I have a strong biblical backing and understanding from my time spent with the Lord and seek to integrate that faith into the counseling work that I do.

In my free time I like to read books, write stories, paint, go for walks, and spend time with my loved ones and my cat. I have a passion working with teens and adults as they navigate through their lives, but I am ready and willing to work with whomever needs it. It would be my distinct pleasure to work with you through whatever life has thrown your way.

Everyone carries a story that has shaped who they are, and I believe healing that story is possible, no matter where someone is starting from. Seeing the difference that insight, understanding, and the right tools can make in someone’s life inspired me to pursue counseling. I am passionate about walking alongside others in their healing journey. I believe every person deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported as they move toward greater self-understanding and wholeness.

I especially love working with those navigating childhood wounds, trauma, and attachment issues, as well as those learning to manage everyday stress or who simply feel stuck. Wherever you are starting from, I consider it a privilege to help you feel more grounded, deepen self-awareness, and build healthier relationships as you move toward meaningful, lasting change. To support that work, I often draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, while also recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, since every person has unique challenges and a unique story.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University and hold a bachelor’s degree in Christian Counseling. Outside of the counseling office, I enjoy traveling and trying new experiences, spending time with friends, and relaxing with a warm cup of coffee or tea. Whatever brought you here, I don’t believe you were meant to figure it out on your own, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you find your way.

Mikayla Lee is currently a graduate student at Colorado Christian University’s Clinical Mental Health program. She also holds a Masters in Medieval Philosophy from Fordham University and a Bachelor’s in History from Colorado Christian University.

Mikayla has received her own counseling and has seen God use her counseling experience to breakdown the negative thoughts and anxiety that used to control her life. These experiences combined with her love of humanity has cultivated a passion in Mikayla to help carry the burdens of others (Galatians 6:2). She loves working with young women as they walk through life transitions. She also has a desire to help those who have suffered trauma, anxiety, and relationship conflict. Mikayla also has spent 5 years working in a Korean church and is passionate to work multiculturally with people.

Prior to beginning her education as a counselor, Mikayla mentored numerous young women through 4-H and church. She served as a youth director and on the worship team for her church. She and her husband recently got married and moved to Colorado Springs. They love spending time adventuring, paddle boarding, playing music, or spending time with friends.
