Therapists in Hockessin, DE

In my 23 years of practice, I have helped people suffering from problems such as depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, family issues, eating disorders. I believe that each individual is unique, and that understanding a person's pain is crucial in helping people feel better, grow, and develop into a person who believes in his or her self. I also believe that trust and respect in the therapeutic relationship are essential to enable and promote change. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you. You can also feel free to call me at 302-738-3739 to talk with me about your concerns.

You may be here because you are struggling with feeling like your mental health concerns are controlling your life. Or that your grief from losing a loved one or many loved ones has become too much to bear. Maybe you and your partner have reached a level of conflict that is too painful for both of you. My goal is to listen with an open heart and mind and to be your guide as you move through the healing process. I believe that each person has the capacity to heal themselves, and with a therapist walking alongside you, that healing can be both powerful and long-lasting.

As Therapist and Life Coach, I am integrally connected to the burgeoning Science of Positive Psychology, which is the scientific study of what enables people and communities to thrive. My approach emphasizes the uniqueness and potential of each individual. I dwell in the possibility for positive change. I am committed to the use of tools which make it possible for you to recognize, appreciate and utilize your signature character strengths (you at your best) to assist you with any perceived problems, limitations and areas of healing, thereby opening the door for you to set your intention toward the realm of your possibility.

I’ve been a therapist of one type or another for the past 30 years. I’m currently seeing patients for a number of reasons, some rather moderate and some fairly severe. I have extension experience with addictive thinking, anxiety (including compulsive behaviors), depression, existential or interpersonal concerns, bi-polar depression, mindfulness and anger. As a rule, I don’t see couples. My patients range in age from 11 to 90.

“The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it.” I have worked as a clinical psychologist since 2011. Prior to this I received my master’s in clinical health psychology. I have had wonderful opportunities to work in numerous settings to help children and families. I have a vast amount of clinical experience with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. In addition to my clinical work, I conduct clinical training for other child therapists as well as serving as a consultant to early childhood providers.

In my practice, I look to build a strong and trusting rapport with clients. We are then able to work together on identifying potential sources of life stressors as well as strengths. In exploring these areas, clients are able to identify and modify previous patterns of behavior in order to achieve their full potential personally, academically, and/or vocationally.

I welcome clients who are grappling with grief, life transitions, identity explorations, and issues of meaning and purpose. Much of my experience has been assisting students with the adjustment into and out of college and graduate school. I also have experience working with people who are navigating the challenges of mid-life and/or transitions into older adulthood. A particular interest of mine is the adjustment to parenthood. I aim to help clients face both the losses and opportunities that transitions hold, in order to deepen their ability to be fully present to their life. My goal is to help build resilience and joy.

At Peaceful Living we want to see people learn, heal, and grow. We work with you to help gain the awareness and support needed to fulfill your life goals and purpose. Our support through counseling, coaching, and anger management services is available to adults, adolescents, and couples, and groups online and in our office.

I work with women who are considering or approaching major life transitions or milestones. Those who are smart and ambitious and tend towards perfectionism which leaves them questioning themselves and experiencing stress and worry. Those who are entering a new decade, deciding to switch careers, contemplating marriage and/or parenthood, all the while navigating daily stressors and everyday lives. I work with individuals who are looking to be kinder to themselves and figure out what they really want.

Navigating life's challenges can feel like an uphill battle, and I want you to know that you don't have to face it alone. Life can be difficult, and I'm here to offer you the support and guidance you need to overcome those challenges and find your path to success.

It takes courage to seek outside assistance. I offer an attentive, personal, and supportive environment and approach to behavioral health treatment. Most of my experience is with adolescents and eating disorders. I subscribe to a Health At Every Size philosophy with a feminist underpinning. I look at the systems and environmental factors contributing to your mental health, as well as, assist you to seek within yourself for your strength and resilience.

Looking for the "right" therapist can be a daunting task. It might be helpful to know, I felt it was necessary to first earn the right to accompany others on their personal psychological journeys by embarking on the same psychological journey, on which, I would be inviting and accompanying my clients. In addition to my formal education, it is by continuing on my own therapeutic journey, that has afforded me a deep comfort level, degree of understanding and respect of this process, regardless of what in particular finds you seeking support. Additionally, I am a holistic practitioner, using both eastern/western approaches.

Dr. Mitch works well with adult individuals who are experiencing a broad array of troubles, including depression, anxiety and relationship stress.

All of us experience times in our lives when a little help is needed. Perhaps now, it is a period of time in your life that is emotionally difficult, a death or loss you are grieving, struggles with depression or anxiety, problematic relationships, or just want to work on personal growth. Perhaps you need a sympathetic, nonjudgmental ear with someone whom you can trust. I hope you can find that person in me.

I do my work with the knowledge that I have the honor to offer comfort to those who may have been greatly wounded. I approach my work with the awareness that everyone's story contains both beauty and pain. Just as the hurt occurs in the context of relationships, so does the healing.
