Mitchell Pohl

My communication style

Therapy with me is a conversation as we walk the path to your goals together. I use humor often to lighten our load and bring joy. I value your trust and courage, and I highly prize feedback about what went well and what I can do to better help you. I'm here to serve you, not the other way around.

My journey to mental healthcare

I originally intended to become a high school history teacher. Over time, I realized I'd rather talk with people than at them and that I had great strength for helping people in their moments of confusion, sadness, and anxiety. I decided to take the leap and change career paths, and I couldn't be happier.

My goals for you

Goals must be set together. Part of walking beside you is learning what you want from therapy and from life. We'll work together to refine goals that are specific to our time together. The best goals are ones you believe in and are motivated to strive towards, and that's the path I'll walk down with you.

Our first session

Everyone is nervous in their first session, and that's okay. I'll start by welcoming you and talking about something light and fun, like your hobbies. Then we'll go over necessary information like confidentiality, and I try to make that painless. We'll get to know each other and start building a therapeutic relationship of trust.
