James Mitchell

My communication style

My communication style is appropriately honest, direct, self-enhancing, expressive, self-confident, and empathic to the emotions that you are having. At times, I use humor and encourage my clients to be as open as they become comfortable, but to take their time and realize growth is a lifelong process.

My journey to mental healthcare

After working as a mental health technician at an inpatient hospital, I was drawn to therapy. Having overcome my own challenges with a therapist's help, I wanted to be that catalyst for change for others. My clients have taught me as much as I've taught them, and I consider it a privilege to do this work.

My goals for you

We create goals based on your stated needs and desires for change. I make sure they're measurable, attainable, positive, and succinct. If you feel stuck, we refer to your goals to see where to go next, or celebrate when you've achieved them and are ready to move forward.

Our first session

We'll go over confidentiality, and I'll tell you about my practice and what you can expect from me. Then you'll share what you're looking for and what brought you to therapy. If there's time, we'll create your treatment plan and discuss how to start working on your goals.
