Hi, I’m Troy Mitchell, a licensed therapist in Portland, Oregon. I provide individual therapy for adults who are ready to move beyond just managing symptoms and want to create a more meaningful, fulfilling life. My therapeutic style is collaborative, direct, and compassionate. I blend Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based approaches to help clients reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional exhaustion while building greater self-compassion, resilience, and clarity. I believe therapy should be practical and empowering — giving you real tools you can use both in and outside of sessions. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, struggling with self-doubt and perfectionism, healing from trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a supportive space where you can feel truly seen and understood. My goal is to help you live with more presence, purpose, and psychological flexibility.

Hi, I'm Natalie. I'm an Oregon and Ohio licensed clinical social worker who trained at the University of Pittsburgh. I am less interested in labels or "shoulds" and more interested in helping you understand what's actually going on in your life... and what might help you move forward with more steadiness and self-trust. I operate from a compassion-focused, client-centered perspective with a strong harm reduction lens. I work with people who want support around substance use; trauma, including complex or developmental trauma; relationship patterns; family-of-origin dynamics; and personal growth during times of transition. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and grounded in evidence-based practices (even if our conversations feel more human than clinical!). I've worked with folks from all walks of life, in a wide array of environments - typical outpatient offices, online, and even outdoors with unhoused communities. I also have a decade of specialized training and experience working with Veterans. So whether you've worn a uniform or not, walked into a therapy office or have never spoken to a therapist before, are a pro at tele-therapy or just trying it out for the first time, I'm probably a pretty good fit for you!

I have been licensed as a professional counselor since 2005 in Oregon, and in 2007 in WA, and more recently in AZ. I came to the profession after a career in telecommunications business and before that as a research and public librarian. My last 18 years have involved serving military Veterans in civilian readjustment, trauma processing and career preparation. Helping people solve their life problems and seek future-forward opportunities for growth is my true goal. Individuals and couples seeking some sort of help and guidance about their dilemmas and challenges may find my broad, worldly experience very beneficial.

Experiencing symptoms like persistent anxiety, irritability, emotional exhaustion, feeling constantly on edge, loss of joy, impulsiveness, addiction, plus pervasive frustration in relationships or with family members can be overwhelming. In such cases, therapy or counseling is an appropriate initial step. I possess extensive knowledge and skills in mental health counseling, spanning many years. I am a licensed professional counselor with a strong background in mental health and allopathic medicine. I strive to bring my broad knowledge, training, and skill set to my professional counseling. My counseling/psychotherapy expertise includes working with children, adolescents, and adults with various mental health, addictive, coping, and dependency problems.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker who believes therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and genuinely human. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I work intentionally to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and never judged. I often work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, attachment wounds, and the lingering impact of difficult experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning and capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck internally. Together, we slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build practical tools that actually fit your real life. My approach integrates emotion-focused work, strengths-based perspective, psychoeducation, and motivational interviewing. That means we’ll explore both the “why” behind your experiences and the “how” of moving forward. I value clarity and transparency in therapy — I’ll help you understand what we’re doing and why, while keeping the process grounded and collaborative. Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and direct in a supportive way. I’m not here to tell you what to do — I’m here to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your confidence, and move toward the life and relationships you want. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by state rather than a city?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Military/Veterans?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Military/Veterans, is filtering therapists in Oregon that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
