My mission is to promote a positive and humane treatment for individuals, couples and families to reach their highest level of functioning in response to feelings of frustration, loss, pain, powerlessness and lack of hope.
Through the use of humanistic/brief solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, I will work to help facilitate growth, change and practical solutions in an effort to break the cycle of ineffective behaviors that interfere with positive life coping skills. Whether you have a relationship problem, depression, stress, substance abuse or job concern, together we can help to put it behind you.
As a confidential professional I work with adults and youth who, due to mental, physical disabilities or complex medical conditions, need assistance in developing the kinds of everyday skills that facilitate improvement in functioning more independent at home, school or work. I use cognitive/behavioral exercises with caring and compassion.
I have extensive experience helping clients recover from: Marital conflict, Health and Age-Related conditions, Anxiety, Depression and Grief; Sexual problems, Substance abuse issues, parenting and Family related concerns.
I have also worked with other areas of life adjustments such as: career challenges, stress., occupational concerns and grief, trauma and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. My mission is to promote positive and humane treatment to allow for individual's, couples and families to reach their highest level of functioning in response to feelings of frustration, loss, pain, powerlessness and lack of hope. Through the use of humanistic/brief solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, I will work to help facilitate growth, change and practical solutions in an effort to break the cycle of ineffective behaviors which interfere with positive life coping skills. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’m grateful for this man, Bless him, and his compassion. Dr. Mitchell works with me while proactively giving me tools to better and help my hopeless state and resolve my mental turmoil. He doesn’t preform miracles but he takes a practical and focus approach to help me overcome my struggles.
Dr. Mitchell understands me. He listens. He offers his expertise in a calm soothing and informative manner. Talking to him is more like conversing with a great friend. He’s patient which I really like. Let’s you get out what is on your minds and he offers tools to help you on your healing journey. I’m grateful for the connection I made when I chose him as my therapist. Thank you for being you Dr. Mitchell.
Dr. Mitchell is a wise, kind, patient and insightful man. He has been a tremendous help in my marriage and for me personally. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations because he made me feel heard and understood in a way that most therapists I have worked with have not achieved. It can be hard to get me talking sometimes and Dr. Mitchell was able to keep my thoughts flowing and lead us to insightful conclusions.
Dr Mitchell has become the missing link on my healing journey. Through our many sessions he has helped me to better understand myself and heal wounds I did not know I had. He has been my best friend, biggest fan, and confidant. He is warm, understanding and caring, above all a great listener
I have only had 2 sessions with Dr. Mitchell but he knew right away how to “ break the ice”, make me feel comfortable to open up amd understand my needs. The assignments are very helpful too
Amazing
He is great and understanding and has helped me open my eyes to my own faults. He has also guided me in the direction I need to go.
Dr. Mitchell has been great to work with so far. Its hard to provide a comprehensive review given we have only had a few sessions, but so far I am comfortable.
Very patient , understanding, and friendly.
