His areas of focus include addiction ( substance abuse, video games, and phone addiction), trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, problematic sexual behavior, and dysfunctional family dynamics.
Mitch asserts that significant personal change is achievable for everyone, though the journey can be demanding. Much like water, we often seek the path of least resistance, particularly in the face of pain, hurt, disappointment, loneliness, or fear. Nonetheless, transformation is not meant to occur in isolation. By supporting one another, hope and strength can emerge through vulnerability, shared knowledge and a clear understanding of one's goals.

Are you feeling stuck in life? Are you feeling stuck due to outside events beyond your control (work, finances, health, traumatic events, abuse) or perhaps inner conflicts (anxiety, depression, substance abuse)? Are your needs being met emotionally, socially, material and basic needs? Often times we end up feeling "stuck", due to prioritizing ourselves last - and asking ourselves, "How did I get to this place?" My goal is to work myself out of a job with you - your goal is empowerment, joy, liberation and freedom to embrace and live your life as you are meant to.

Much of my experience has been working with young adults navigating their way through life while managing their mental health symptoms, substance use, and ongoing recovery.
I believe in a holistic approach to therapy—in other words, treating the whole person rather than fragmenting someone into parts. This approach involves meeting my clients where they’re at, focusing on the therapeutic relationship, and working together to create realistic goals. I am empathetic, direct, and keep it real while maintaining compassion. Most importantly, I believe that therapy can (and should) be fun! I pride myself in creating a therapeutic space where my clients can work on the hard stuff, but also take space to laugh and just be human.

I work with people who are exploring their current relationship with alcohol or substance use, and those who are leaving treatment programs for substance abuse and are seeking ongoing support.
I work with a wide variety of clients and mental health concerns, and especially enjoy supporting adults and couples looking to improve communication and satisfaction in their relationships. I believe that therapy can help people find new, positive ways of connecting and increasing their sense of support and resiliency. In addition to relationship work, I help people going through life transitions in all stages of life. I particularly like working with adults in middle age and beyond navigating an empty nest, balancing care for children and aging parents, or those moving into retirement and exploring their identity outside of work.

I work with adults and teenagers who are experiencing life-phase transitions, substance and alcohol abuse, and grief and loss.
I believe personal agency is key to finding meaning in distressing scenarios and growing from them. I use both Existential and solution-oriented approaches when engaging with clients and provide individuals, couples, and families with tools for self-awareness and self-empowerment through a mixture of theoretical models tailored to the client’s strengths and needs. I work to help clients establish more adaptive patterns of thinking with humor, empathy, and respect. While I will explore root causes of issues, I emphasize the importance of personal growth and identifying personal strengths.
