Mikaila Johnson, LSW
Mikaila Johnson is a Licensed Social Worker with more than six years of experience providing mental and behavioral health services within the Maui community. She holds both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from the Myron B. Thompson School of Social Work at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, with a concentration in medical social work.
Mikaila’s clinical background includes delivering assessment, intervention, and case management services across diverse populations, spanning pediatrics through geriatric patients. Her experience includes two years in community mental health, where she provided evidence-informed support for individuals with a range of psychiatric conditions, as well as prior work in co-occurring disorder treatment with an emphasis on integrated behavioral health care.
In her practice, Mikaila incorporates a blend of evidence-based modalities tailored to each client’s needs. Her clinical approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). She also grounds her work in trauma-informed care principles to ensure emotional safety, empowerment, and collaborative treatment. By integrating these approaches, Mikaila provides a client-centered therapeutic experience that emphasizes both insight and practical tools for daily functioning.
She maintains a strong clinical interest in women’s reproductive and perinatal mental health, including the psychosocial impacts of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Mikaila has completed her doula certification with the goal of expanding integrative postpartum support services for individuals and families on Maui.
Outside of work, Mikaila loves spending time in the ocean - whether she’s surfing, swimming, or paddling with her family.
What Our Community Are Saying
Dr. Nill has been nothing short of a lifesaver! She listens, she observes and makes suggestions that she feels will benefit the needs of her patients. Not to mention her staff who are very patient and supportive of your quality of care. I went from self destruction to a path of peace and self love thanks to the help of Dr. Nill and her staff. Not only has she saved my life, but also my marriage. She has been a blessing to me! Thank you Dr. Nill!
All good experiences. Counseling for myself, my husband, couples, and my son. Also great classes and seminars
I have enjoyed group events and felt great peace sharing personal experiences. The sensitive touch of human kindness that I have received from this group is matched by no other event, service or retreat I've have experienced. Mahalo MLG!
I went here a few years ago and recently my daughter did as well. It was the BEST experience of my life. I don't know how Mindful Living Group's team do it but they're masters at their work. I've been in therapy for most of my life and have never before made such bounds and stride with confidence, stamina, and pure bliss in my life. No words can express how much I appreciate this practice.
Highly recommend this group! I am so thankful for their support and practical help as I moved into motherhood and went through postpartum. A special thanks to Jenn for her work and practice- 10 out of 10 would recommend
