Tree of Hope was founded by Anna McLain, whose passion for helping others has shaped every aspect of the organization. With extensive experience in healthcare, transition coordination, case management, and community-based services, Anna recognized the need for compassionate, person-centered support for individuals transitioning from institutional care back into the community.
Her vision was to create an organization that not only coordinates services but also empowers individuals to regain independence, dignity, and confidence. Under her leadership, Tree of Hope has built strong partnerships with healthcare providers, community organizations, housing agencies, and referral partners to ensure every member receives individualized support throughout their transition journey.
As Tree of Hope continues to grow throughout Colorado and expand into Minnesota, Anna remains committed to innovation, collaboration, and excellence in service. She is also leading the organization's expansion into home care services, with the goal of providing a seamless continuum of care that supports individuals before, during, and after their transition to community living.
Anna believes that every successful transition begins with hope, grows through meaningful support, and flourishes within a strong community. This philosophy continues to guide Tree of Hope's mission of helping individuals build brighter, more independent futures.
"Every individual deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, independence, and hope."

Hi there! My name is Mikayla, and I have a Bachelor's of Science from Colorado State University in Psychology with a concentration in clinical/counseling. I have experience in client care both in research and in clinical settings after doing person-centered research in community mental health settings. I have a passion for building relationships and helping people, as my career goal is to become a counselor. I am currently in graduate school to obtain my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling so that I can professionally help people who are struggling with their mental health, want to feel better, and achieve their goals. I love doing yoga, taking my goldendoodle out on walks, hanging out with friends, and eating good food.

I help individuals navigate daily life changes, connect with services, and build routines that promote safety, stability, and confidence at home and in the community.
My focus is on practical, day-to-day support—helping people stay organized, understand their options, and access the right resources so they can live as independently as possible while still having the support they need.
In my free time, I enjoy reading about science and physics. I also train in Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu, which helps me stay disciplined, focused, and grounded. I am also a licensed Insurance producer.
