About Dr. Michael Mitchell

Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I’m pleased and honored that you reached out for help. I am Dr. MICHAEL MITCHELL, a licensed therapist. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and counseling approach by clicking on my name on this page. To help us get started, can you please tell me what brought you here? Just write a few short sentences about the challenges you’re experiencing or what you would like to talk about and we will go from there.

My mission is to promote a positive and humane treatment for individuals, couples and families to reach their highest level of functioning in response to feelings of frustration, loss, pain, powerlessness and lack of hope.

Through the use of humanistic/brief solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, I will work to help facilitate growth, change and practical solutions in an effort to break the cycle of ineffective behaviors that interfere with positive life coping skills. Whether you have a relationship problem, depression, stress, substance abuse or job concern, together we can help to put it behind you.

As a confidential professional I work with adults and youth who, due to mental, physical disabilities or complex medical conditions, need assistance in developing the kinds of everyday skills that facilitate improvement in functioning more independent at home, school or work. I use cognitive/behavioral exercises with caring and compassion.

I have extensive experience helping clients recover from: Marital conflict, Health and Age-Related conditions, Anxiety, Depression and Grief; Sexual problems, Substance abuse issues, parenting and Family related concerns.

I have also worked with other areas of life adjustments such as: career challenges, stress., occupational concerns and grief, trauma and emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. My mission is to promote positive and humane treatment to allow for individual’s, couples and families to reach their highest level of functioning in response to feelings of frustration, loss, pain, powerlessness and lack of hope. Through the use of humanistic/brief solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, I will work to help facilitate growth, change and practical solutions in an effort to break the cycle of ineffective behaviors which interfere with positive life coping skills. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

“Excellent, personable and relatable therapist. 10/10 recommend!”

“My husband and I have been in therapy on and off for a few years. Dr. Mitchell’s approach to couples therapy, and his ability to go under the surface and help us figure out the root cause of our disagreements, makes him stand out from the rest. He’s also easy to talk to, and adds a lot of light and timely humor to our sessions. Would highly recommend him for your therapy, whether individual or couples.”
