Do you rely only on negativity to motivate yourself through pushing and criticism? You are not alone. Many individuals seek support because the emotional burdens of anxiety, persistent low self-esteem, and past trauma make it difficult to maintain an empowered, loving relationship with ourselves. This fractured self-relationship often shows up in our external worlds, manifesting as stress, sudden shades of anger, and fear-based avoidance in key relationships. The good news is that these patterns can change. Brenton Mitchell, our owner and primary provider, is an expert on accompanying people who want to heal the fractures within.
At Being Counseling, we believe in the healing power of both science and the art of self-expression. As a licensed provider in Pennsylvania, we are Trauma-trained, utilizing proven methods like Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Mindfulness-Based Techniques to increase your awareness and understanding of why you are the way you are.
If you are tired of feeling held back by self-doubt and are ready to reclaim your life from the effects of past events and chronic stress please send a message or call. Let’s see if our services can be a good fit.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
