My name is Alexander Mitchell and I started Blacks Run Counseling in 2024 to meet people seeking mental health support at whatever level of need they have. I provide outpatient therapy to individuals using a combination of cognitive-behavioral, person-centered and existential theories. I've worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds with different levels of need over the years and feel comfortable supporting most people as they address their mental health concerns. I am firmly committed to supporting my clients creating change that is effective, satisfying and sustainable in their daily lives.
I bring an integrated appreciation for cognitive-behavioral, person-centered and existential modalities to my work. Taking what works for me as a therapist and combining it with my own unique traits has prepared me to support clients as they take what works from therapy and apply it to their own lives.
Much of the time I find our symptoms are often our best effort to care for ourselves and avoid future suffering or discomfort. Recognizing they aren't working is often an important step to reducing the disruption symptoms bring to daily life. If getting support to make change is something you are interested in, you can contact me about starting therapy.

I have refrained from specializing in any one area due to a committed desire to remain accessible to any/all client's seeking support for mental health treatment. Generally, therapy is organized around a treatment plan. The treatment plan focuses on 2-3 main issues to be addressed and is updated as goals are met/resolved until therapy ends.

As an integrated clinician I have found a variety of theories bring benefit to how I support my clients. I find that different theories often fit different needs better than others and as such have tried to balance my focus when I offer support. The integrative effort is often important for my clients as they work to make sense of their experiences and choices.
