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.

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.

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
