Getting to know Mitzi Schmiegel

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to supporting adults 18 and older as they navigate life's challenges. I specialize in helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, immigration experiences, attachment concerns, and low self-esteem. My approach My approach is warm, supportive, and authentic, while also being direct when it's needed. I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices--including CBT, DBT, MI, SF, Narrative, mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches. To create a tailored experience that fits each client's unique needs and goals. My focus I believe therapy is a collaborative process where you don't have to face struggles alone. Together, we'll explore patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen your sense of self so you can move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. My communication style My communication style is warm, supportive, authentic, direct, grounded, collaborative, integrative, flexible, and empowering. My journey to mental healthcare A calling to help others, education and training, my clinical experience, and personal experience. My goals for you Clarifying goals together, creating tailored strategies, skill-building, and insight, accountability with compassion, and celebrating progress. My first session with you In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you -- what brought you here, what you're hoping for, and what feels most important in your life right now. I'll ask questions to understand your story, your strengths, and the challenges you're facing. We'll also talk about your goals for therapy and how we can work together to reach them. My style is warm and supportive, but I'll also be direct when it's helpful, so you leave with a sense of clarity about the process. By the end of our first session, you'll have a better idea of what therapy with me looks like, and we'll create a plan that feels right for you.
