MaKayla Cox, BSMaKayla Cox earned her bachelor's degree in human services with a concentration in counseling from Urshan University and is currently pursuing her Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University. She believes healing often begins when people are met with grace, understanding, and hope. She uses a holistic approach that values emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, encouraging others as they navigate challenges, discover resilience, and move toward restoration.

In addition to her schooling, MaKayla has extensive training in ministry, leadership, and mentoring the next generation. With a heart grounded in compassion and faith, she strives to create a space where individuals feel seen, heard, and reminded that there is hope to be found.

One of MaKayla's favorite scriptures is 2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT): "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us." She is humbled to be able to serve and support clients at Chicago Christian Counseling Center as she continues on this journey in the field of mental health.

She is supervised by Heather Mulcahy, MSW, LCSW.
