Getting to know Mercedes Mitchell

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, family conflict and/or trauma? Using a trauma-informed approach, I help clients develop tools and strategies towards reaching their goals. My approach By using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I can help you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, learn practical coping skills to manage emotions, and apply these strategies to your daily life. My focus When working with adults across the lifespan, we will work collaboratively towards identifying shifting needs, evolving challenges, and adapting to life transitions. My communication style Clients describe me as empathetic, respectful, professional, trustworthy and non-judgmental. I practice active listening and look forward to providing clients with a safe space to process their feelings. My journey to mental healthcare My path towards becoming a mental health provider began while helping protect children and vulnerable adults resulting from abuse, neglect, and abandonment. As a provider, I am now able to continue working with clients and can have discussions that shift from "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" My goals for you Therapy is a collaborative effort, and as such, I practice using a client-centered problem-solving approach. I tailor my approach to each client's specific and unique needs while encouraging active participation. My first session with you Let's get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous and not know what to expect. However, we will take one step at a time and focus on your specific needs.
