Nathaniel Mitchell, LCSW — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Nathaniel!

I work with adults and adolescents and specialize in grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, oppositional behaviors, and attention-deficit disorder. I use various evidence-based interventions according to the specific needs of the client.

My focus

I am motivated to work with adolescents and adults who experience anxious and depressive feelings, trauma, stress, unstable moods, communication, and boundaries issues to live more healthy and productive lives.

My approach

My approach centers on building trust and therapeutic relationships with clients. I treat each case individually, recognizing that every client's journey is unique. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Psychodynamics, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Conflict Resolution.

My communication style

In every session, I create a warm, therapeutic, and trusting environment. My communication style is calm with positive energy, accommodating, and personable.

My journey to mental healthcare

The desire to assist individuals to become change agents and heal has attracted me to the career as a therapist. After working as a therapist in various settings, including acute hospitals, partial hospitals, intensive outpatient, and private practice, I decided to pursue a higher level of education.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is active listening to the client's concerns and perspectives, assessing the most appropriate interventions with the client, working with the client to identify what needs to be accomplished, and regularly tracking progress to make the necessary adjustments for the most efficient change and growth.

Our first session

During the first session, the therapist will build a trusting and helping relationship, orientate the client about the platform/therapy process, address concerns, and discuss presenting problems aligned with the client's level of comfort.
