Welcome to Dr. Mitchell’s Safe and Brave Space I began my career in social services in 1995, working with children, youth, and families often labeled as “at-risk”—many of whom were impacted by substance use, poverty, child abuse, and neglect. Over time, my commitment to equity and justice led me to the field of social work, where I continue to center the person-in-environment perspective and actively support antiracist policies, ideas, and actions. This work is grounded in an acknowledgment that we live and practice on the stolen lands of Indigenous peoples, and that much of the wealth and infrastructure of this nation was built through the unpaid labor and enduring suffering of enslaved Africans. I honor these histories and their ongoing impact as part of my commitment to justice, healing, and collective liberation. I am deeply committed to self-awareness and reflective practice, both personally and with those I serve. I walk alongside clients on a healing journey rooted in self-care, resilience, and transformation. I integrate narrative therapy and other evidence-informed approaches through the lens of intersectionality to remain fully person-centered. My practice pays particular attention to the impacts of trauma and race-based stress on one’s inner world. As appropriate, I incorporate Feminist Theory, Queer Theory, and Liberation Psychology to support healing that honors identity, lived experience, and systemic context. I welcome all who value peace, healing, and justice to join me in this space—to try, to grow, and to be.

I work with adults and older adults who are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and understood, in a space that is safe, warm, and free of judgment. To help make sure we are the right fit from the start, I want to be upfront that my practice does not currently include couples counseling, medication management, or completing disability, FMLA, or legal paperwork. I work with adults 18 years and older. If any of these are part of what you are looking for, I am happy to help you find a provider whose practice is built around that support.

I believe healing happens through both grit and grace — the courage to look honestly at what’s not working and the compassion to change without shame. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in trauma, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns, with a strong focus on emotional regulation and safety. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and paced to you. I draw from trauma-informed care, Motivational Interviewing, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients better understand their coping patterns, reduce reactivity, and build sustainable change. Therapy with me is not about forcing outcomes — it’s about creating safety, insight, and choice. **Any clients with Aetna or Cigna may seek treatment with me on another platform** To schedule consultations or to outreach please see my website: https://gritxgracetherapy.com/

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with adults, teens, and parents who are tired of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional overwhelm, or relationship patterns running their lives. My approach is structured but human. I integrate CBT, DBT, ERP, and somatic work to create real, measurable change — not just insight. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you build emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and clarity so you can move through your life with more confidence and less fear.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), and EMDR-trained therapist. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Counseling. But more than credentials, what I bring into the room is presence. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, identity development, substance use concerns, and life transitions. I work with individuals ages 10 and up, and my approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply relational. I use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR and trauma-informed practices, but therapy with me never feels clinical or cold. It feels like conversation, exploration, and sometimes gentle challenge.

I'm a therapist who believes good therapy starts with feeling comfortable, not like you're sitting across from someone with a clipboard. I bring warmth, honesty, and a little casualness to our work together. I'm also neurodivergent myself, so I know firsthand what it's like to navigate a brain that works a little differently. That lived experience makes me a better therapist , not just a more empathetic one, but a more real one. I'm the kind of therapist who will laugh with you, be straight with you, and when you're ready, go to the deeper and harder places right alongside you. With experience spanning from early childhood all the way through older adulthood, I've had the privilege of working with people across every stage of life and across a wide range of needs. No matter where you're starting from, my goal is always the same : to meet you where you are and grow with you throughout the process.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you can be your authentic self—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. My approach is warm, honest, person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I use evidence-based interventions while recognizing that your lived experience matters just as much as what a textbook says. I believe therapy isn’t about simply teaching coping skills; it’s about understanding yourself, recognizing patterns, processing your experiences, building healthier relationships, and learning how to advocate for yourself. As your therapist, I’ll listen, support, encourage, and celebrate your growth—but I’ll also challenge you when necessary. I believe accountability and compassion can coexist. I’m not here to tell you what you want to hear; I’m here to help you understand what you need to hear and empower you to make meaningful changes. My own lived experiences have shaped the way I understand resilience, family dynamics, relationships, personal growth, and navigating life’s transitions. They have taught me the importance of feeling genuinely heard and having someone who can meet you where you are while still believing in where you can go. I especially enjoy working with youth, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, emotional challenges, self-esteem, relationships, family conflict, life transitions, and feeling “stuck.” You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You just have to be willing to start. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, empowered, and equipped to create the life you want.

I provide a safe space for people to rediscover their resilience, express their authentic self, and embrace their healing journey. My areas of care include use of EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, Interpersonal Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I find it important to be person centered and meeting people where they are at. I encourage you to take the first step by reaching out for a free phone consultation or request an appointment to begin your therapeutic journey. It isn't easy to take the first step, but it is often the most important one to make. I will walk alongside you, meeting you with compassion, honesty, and acceptance.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in private clinical practice, dedicated to helping people navigate life’s most challenging transitions.

Together, we will identify actionable steps to help you manage stress, process difficult changes, and build a clearer path forward.

My name is Joanna Smith. I have had the honor and privilege to have worked with clients for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, a chronic illness, or a season of life that feels overwhelming, you do not have to figure it out alone. For more than 20 years, I have helped people move from feeling stuck to functioning at their best. In our work together, we will take a collaborative and practical approach. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to help you challenge unhelpful thoughts, set meaningful goals, and take real steps toward feeling better. I especially enjoy working with people who are motivated for change and open to challenging the beliefs and patterns that are holding them back. My goal is for you to leave each session with something concrete you can use Most of my work has been in the health care setting where I worked supporting people who faced chronic illness. I have also worked with families in a family health clinic. Additionally, I have provided and coordinated mental health treatment in a primary care setting providing problem solving treatment to improve patients’ symptoms and level of functioning.

If you're a Millennial or Gen Z adult feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, constant stress, or persistent overthinking, you're not alone. Anxiety can make it difficult to stay present, maintain routines, manage responsibilities, or enjoy everyday life. For many people, OCD adds another layer of distress through intrusive thoughts, excessive doubt, rumination, or compulsive behaviors that can leave you feeling stuck. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and OCD using Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ERP helps you gradually face feared thoughts and situations while learning to resist compulsions. CBT provides practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce anxiety, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and build lasting confidence. Healing starts with one small, courageous step—and that step might simply be sending an email or making a phone call. You don't have to keep managing this alone. I'm here to help you build the skills to move forward and create a life that's guided by your values, not by anxiety or OCD.

I'm a bilingual (Spanish & English) licensed clinical psychologist with experience providing psychotherapy to diverse age & paths of life populations. For me, doing psychotherapy is to create a space in which people can be brave & curious enough to tell our stories from a place of compassion, self-awareness, self-knowledge & accountability. Viewing the world from a critical perspective, where I can integrate intersections, such as gender, culture, power dynamics & systems of oppression, makes my practice a space for awareness, healing with context & transformative action.

Hello, I'm Melissa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Yoga Instructor licensed in New York and New Jersey.

My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, somatic techniques, and nervous system regulation strategies to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. As a yoga instructor, I also recognize the important connection between emotional well-being and physical experiences, and I incorporate mind-body awareness when appropriate.

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my profile! Therapy should be uniquely tailored to each person. I work with clients to identify patterns of behavior that may have contributed to difficulties in relationships—with family, friends, or at work or school—and help find ways to create positive change. We learn to change our perspective on life, our past, our entire reality, and recognize that we really can control how we think and what we think about. One of the primary purposes of coming to therapy is to be heard. I am here to listen and work with you to come up with a solution to the problem or issues you may be having. I've worked with many clients coping with anxiety and depression, in particular, which has led to the development of a different approach that combines parts of a few different proven techniques. This approach is designed to change your perspective on your mental illness and learn new ways to cope, adjust, and adapt. We work together to find what practical exercises you can use to better manage out of control emotions when they arise.

As a Psychotherapist, I believe that everyone already has the tools they need to be their most productive and successful self.
