Welcome to Dr. Mitchell's safe and brave space! I began my career working with "at-risk children and youth" and families in 1995. Many struggling with substance abuse, poverty, child abuse, and neglect. While maintaining the person in the environment perspective throughout my career, I supported antiracist policies, ideas, and actions. This is why I continue to practice in a manner that promotes self-awareness and self-reflectiveness for myself and with clients in a healing journey to self-care and resilience. I believe it is important to use narrative therapy and other therapies with the theory of intersectionality to remain person-centered. My practice is also focused on treating trauma and/or race-based stress that has shaped a person’s inner world; so the use of Feminist therapy, Queer Theory, and Liberation Psychology are introduced as appropriate. I welcome everyone who values peace to come and try with me.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The initial visit is a period for you and me to get to know each other and get an idea of how to proceed.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Creating an atmosphere; finding and being able to hold space with clients who have similar experiences can be healing. This is why I am committed to working with BIPOC individuals that are having a difficult time coping with race-related stress by addressing negative thoughts, building a support network, and building a sense of identity.

My treatment methods

Narrative

I use narrative therapy and other frameworks for various populations such as people of color, those who have experienced trauma, and those with PTSD, severe depression, ADHD, Bipolar, sexual identity challenges, relationship conflicts, and severe anxiety. It allows for cultural humility and sensitivity to be utilized when working with clients in various interventions as well as giving importance to the bio-socio-psychological development of the clients.
