We all experience life's challenges, feel alone, stuck and unsure what to do sometimes. I understand, it can be scary, seeking professional help for personal issues. I also know, therapy can be deeply healing, when one can open up and take the first step towards mental well-being and self-love! My name is Janaelyn Mitchell, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that provides individual therapy and coaching.
When providing treatment, I practice from a trauma-informed, client-centered framework that recognizes how past experiences and stressors shape each individual’s emotional and physiological responses. I draw from an eclectic range of evidence-based modalities and thoughtfully tailor them to each client’s unique history, culture, strengths, and needs. My priority is to create a safe, collaborative, and empowering space where clients feel respected, heard, and supported in moving toward healing at their own pace.
My greatest strength is creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I use a holistic, trauma-informed, systemic approach that understands individual challenges as well as how relationships and family dynamics affect mental health. With deep empathy and strong clinical insight, I build rapport quickly and develop tailored treatment plans that support meaningful, lasting change.
I am best positioned to serve motivated individuals, who are ready to actively engage in their healing and personal growth. With over eight years of experience, I specialize in supporting clients impacted by trauma, abuse, domestic violence, grief, anxiety, and depression. My ideal clients are open-minded and committed to creating meaningful, lasting change in their lives and relationships.

Trauma Informed Care
When providing treatment, I practice from a trauma-informed, client-centered lens, recognizing that every client’s story, nervous system, and lived experience are unique. I integrate an eclectic range of evidence-based modalities, thoughtfully tailored to each individual, while prioritizing safety, empowerment, collaboration, and choice. My approach honors the impact of trauma, fosters emotional regulation and resilience, and creates a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported in their healing journey.

Janaelyn is very empathetic, calming, and intuitive. She listened and helped me work through the difficult feelings I was sharing by asking deep questions that got to the root of my feelings.
