COUNSELING. What does it mean when we hear that word? To some its intimidation, fear, broken, and some may even think judgment. All of those definitions could not be further from the truth. We all have times in life when we need to clarify our perspective on life's challenges and opportunities. Counseling is an avenue to provide encouragement and assistance to those facing various life challenges. Sometimes we are unable to conquer serious challenges alone. I am able to provide the help and support needed to achieve that next level.

Hello, My name is Jessica Mitchell, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has over 9 years of clinical experience. I work primarily with adults dealing with self-esteem and acceptance matters, as well as clients from ostracized and oppressed communities, including those dealing with Relationship Issues, Self Esteem, LGBTQIA+, Marital/Pre-Marital, and Life Coaching. I use a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Marital therapies. I believe in elevating your personal power and guiding you towards accessing that.

I work with professionals experiencing challenges maintaining a balanced work-life equilibrium and with emotional health imbalances stemming from the demanding nature of their professional life. My clients feel persistent worry, a pervasive sense of overwhelm, mood disturbances, strained interpersonal relationships, and/or a pronounced lack of self-care. They experience anxiety and depression, worsened by their demanding careers. Their goal is to regain control over their emotional state, manage stress, and nurture their overall well-being. Their motivation is to alleviate suffering, mend relationships, and prioritize self-care.

It’s not easy when you are feeling alone; like no one understands you or what you have been through. When you are having flashbacks, nightmares, triggers and when you live with constant anxiety, depression and physical symptoms. It's OK to ask for help! It’s not weakness when you seek out help through therapy. On the contrary, it shows incredible strength. I provide a warm, calm, non-judgmental, supportive and safe environment. I am LGBTQ-affirming. The therapy session is yours, not mine, and we go at a pace that is comfortable to you.
