Getting to know Brian Mitchell
Hi, I’m Brian Mitchell. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but more importantly, I’m a dedicated partner in your healing. I specialize in helping people navigate trauma and PTSD through a lens of safety and genuine support. Whether we use EMDR, CBT, Somatic, or mindfulness, my approach is never "one size fits all"—it’s tailored entirely to your unique story.
I entered this field to help marginalized voices find their strength and advocacy. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped with the tools to build a better path forward.
What should a new client know about working with you?
During a client's first visit, they can expect a warm and welcoming environment. I will first introduce myself and get to know my clients by asking them about their reasons for seeking help, their personal background, and their current situation or issues they are facing. I will work to establish a rapport with them, actively listening to their concerns and responding in a supportive and empathic way. I will discuss the confidentiality of the conversations, the limits of confidentiality, and his overall approach to therapy so that the client knows what to expect from future sessions. Overall, the first psychotherapy visit provided the space and time for me and the client to establish a trusting relationship and identify clear therapeutic goals and a plan of action that is tailored to the individual client's needs.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I have been to a lot of therapists and learned the most in the short time I have been with Brian. I felt connected to him right away and could feel his authenticity. I know he is listening because of how he directs our sessions. I always walk away feeling better and empowered after each of our sessions
