Hello, I'm James Mitchell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a client-centered approach to therapy. My focuses of practice are on the LGBTQ+ community, People with adjustment issues, trauma, and mood disorders, and anyone seeking to improve their coping skills and find solutions to make life more about living and less about just surviving!
Client-centered to me means, I act as your guide, helping you talk about your issues using active listening and reflection, thinking of you as the expert on you, we work together to find solutions that work for you, and things that you can do to improve your coping and minimize stress.
During the first session, we will be going over confidentiality, and I will tell you a little about my practice and what you can expect from me. Then I would like you tell me what you expect and are looking for also, and what brought you to seek therapy here. If there is time we will also make your treatment plan and discuss how to start working on your stated goals.
