Welcome! I'm Mark Mitchell, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) dedicated to helping individuals with healing, growth, and transformation in a very pragmatic way. With over 40 years of experience in the field. I help you get Hope & Tools to make your life better. At the core of my practice is a deep belief in the power of connection and the potential for personal change. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. Together, we'll work collaboratively to identify the underlying issues that may be holding you back and develop practical strategies to overcome them. My areas of expertise encompass a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, men's issues, couples issues, recovery, retirement & financials, & dealing with aging parent or partner. I use a holistic and integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Gottman Couples Approach and Mindfulness. What sets me apart is my genuine passion & tools for helping individuals and families thrive. I believe that therapy is not solely about addressing current struggles but also nurturing long-lasting resilience and well-being. I strive to empower you with the tools and insights necessary to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. Beyond my clinical work, I am committed to ongoing professional development and staying abreast of the latest research and therapeutic techniques. This dedication ensures that I provide you with the most effective and up-to-date therapeutic interventions available. If you're seeking a therapist who will listen deeply I am the guy.:) On a personal note, I am happily married, active in hiking, martial arts, & yoga, a gardener, was a caregiver for multiple years with a paralyzed speechless mother, & volunteer for the Los Angeles Veterans Collaborative & a local church.
