Great to meet you!

I’m Penny Mitchell, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families through anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I’m especially passionate about helping families navigate behavioral and emotional challenges, improve communication, and build stronger relationships. I also support adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to make meaningful changes in their lives.

My goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported while gaining practical tools to move forward. Whether you’re working through something specific or simply know that something needs to change, we’ll work together to identify your goals, build on your strengths, and create meaningful progress.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, solution-oriented, and tailored to each client. I draw from CBT, trauma-focused therapy, family systems approaches, strength-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and behavioral interventions to help clients create meaningful change.

I believe therapy should be both supportive and practical. We’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships that may be contributing to your challenges while developing tools you can use in everyday life. With children and families, I focus on strengthening communication, improving emotional regulation, addressing behavioral concerns, and creating healthier family dynamics.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, talk about what brings you to therapy, and identify what you’d like to change. You can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you can share openly at your own pace.

We’ll begin identifying your goals and creating a plan that fits your needs. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, my goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and confident about the path forward. :::
