Hello there, I'm Brian Mitchell. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a client-centered approach to therapy, focusing on trauma and PTSD. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs and experiences. I am trained in several evidence-based therapies, including CBT, EMDR, and TF-CBT, as well as mindfulness techniques and stress reduction strategies. I work to create a safe and supportive environment for clients to work towards healing and learning coping skills.
My attraction to a career as a therapist stemmed from a desire to help marginalized populations find their voice and advocate for their needs. What drives me to do this work is a deep passion for helping others find a better path forward in their lives.

Hello! I'm Ally, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background spanning nearly a decade. I received my Masters from the University of Southern California and currently work from Sacramento, CA. I primarily work with women, young adults, and professionals experiencing a range of symptoms and life stressors related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions.
Many of my clients are dealing with changes like finishing college, relationship beginnings or endings, new job opportunities, loss of a loved one or moving to a new place.
I also specialize in empowering high-achieving career women in their 20s, 30s and 40s as they navigate the unique challenges of balancing professional success with personal fulfillment. Whether you're grappling with perfectionism, overcoming imposter syndrome, or seeking resilience amidst stress and burnout, I provide personalized support to help you thrive in your personal and professional life.
Blending my diverse personal and professional experiences with my formal training and empathetic nature, I’ve created a warm, welcoming, and effective environment for clients to explore and enhance their mental health. Many have described therapy with me as feeling like reconnecting with an old friend over coffee.

Life can be full of uncertainty, disappointment, loss, and unanswered questions. At times it may seem no one can possibly understand or help us through a difficult or painful situation. We may even question how the past, present, and future can be simultaneously daunting. Yes, painful life experiences can seem never-ending, but I want you to know there is hope. The hurts of life do not have to leave a permanent scar on your mind, body, or soul. I have found therapy to be an effective tool in healing the deepest of wounds. You are not defined by the wound, but the healing.
For nearly a decade, I have served many facing marital, familial and parental distress, drug/alcohol addiction, challenging mental health diagnoses, trauma, and various cancer types. I take great pride in providing therapeutic services and advocating for students with school staff. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and possess a Nutrition for Mental Health certification.
Take heart and take joy for there is nothing you cannot overcome.

Corning, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hello,
I was born and raised in Stockton, California. I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of 17 and in 1997, after 25 yeas of service, I retired from the Marine Corps as a Master Sergeant. After retiring from the Marine Corps, I worked as a Farrier (Horseshoer), as well as a structural welder (Ironworker), as those were the most marketable skill that I had. I came to a point where old injuries came back to haunt me and I could no longer walk (several years later, thanks to a surgery through the VA, I can walk again; thankful for that).
At this point, I changed professions and out of a desire to work with veterans, I returned to school, accomplishing all that was necessary to become a licensed counselor. I spent another career working for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically as a counselor in the Readjustment Counseling Service (Vet Center). I recently retired from the Vet Center and now I work part-time here with Grow Therapy.
As a retired Marine senior staff Non-Commissioned Officer (SNCO) and disabled combat veteran myself, the Vet Center was the perfect job. Vet Centers provide readjustment counseling to combat veterans and provide counseling to survivors of military sexual trauma (MST). Vet Centers also provide group counseling, bereavement counseling and couples counseling when this is determined to be of support to the veteran.
Readjustment counseling many times consists of treating/addressing symptoms related to post-traumatic stress (PTSD), I.e., anxiety, depression, exaggerated startle response, hypervigilance, sleep disturbance, etc. Many veterans go on to work as first responders and working with many first responders as well as medical personal, has provided me with a great deal of additional experience.

Are you feeling lost or stuck in some aspect of your life and finding it hard to move forward? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? With your permission, I help to hold the container for deeper exploration and healing.
I am a trauma-based therapist certified in EMDR and versed in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
I believe that each of us possesses an internal source of wisdom that can be cultivated through psychotherapy, psychedelic medicines, meditation practices, yoga and other connecting practices that link the brain, body and spirit. My therapeutic approach has a foundation of mindfulness and compassion, curiosity and respect. I often use EMDR as an evidence-based approach to working with trauma and other issues. I am sensitive to the impact of one's social, physical and cultural environment as well as systems of oppression. Clients say my approach is warm, relational, collaborative, strengths-based and trauma-informed.
I cannot do the work for you, but I can help you along the way, and it is truly an honor and a joy for me.

Greetings, and welcome to our safe space. I am a licensed clinical social worker that specializes in treating trauma using EMDR, integrative medicine, and other modalities. My main goal in therapy is to help you reconnect to yourself by identifying and processing the root cause of all of your present-day challenges. I offer EMDR and Individual Psychotherapy Services via telehealth in California.
Although we live in an individualistic society, each individual, with their unique personality and life purpose brings something extraordinary to the table of life. Each one of us is part of a bigger collective and we are responsible for constantly striving to mature and progress on an emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual level.
As a result of these beliefs, I utilize a humanistic approach (striving to help people uncover, address, reprocess, and heal from their trauma to meet their highest protentional); while seeing healing through a holistic lens (working to help individuals heal by reconnecting mind, body and spirit).
We curse, we cry, we laugh, we take off our masks and honor our genuine authentic selves to heal from our trauma.
*IT IS IMPERATIVE BOTH CLIENT AND CLINICIAN AGREE THAT THE THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP IS A GOOD FIT, AND PARTICULAR CRITERIA FOR RECEIVING SPECIALITY TRAUMA SERVICES (EMDR) ARE MET, THUS ALTHOUGH YOU MAY SCHEDULE YOURSELF FOR AN APPOINTMENT, THE APPOINTMENT WILL ONLY BE CONFIRMED AFTER THE COMPLETION OF A FREE 15-MINUTE CONSULTATION.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression.
When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live.

Let's be honest, asking for help or assistance is difficult. Good news is that you have taken the first and most difficult step towards improving your current situation by simply reaching out and exploring options! For this I commend you!
We all struggle at one time or another in our lives, I am here to help you navigate THROUGH those struggles rather than avoiding or attempting to maneuver around them.

My goal is to provide a comfortable, empathetic and supportive environment to explore these struggles and develop new ways or improving old coping skills to help you navigate the situation at hand.
If you are ready to stop running away from, hiding or avoiding your issues and concerns, I am here to help you move through the anxiety, worry, hopelessness, frustration or despair and find more peace and ease on the other side of the scenario.
