Therapy that respects your intelligence — and your time

I've been working with adults in Austin for over 12 years. My clients aren't "broken" — they're often high-functioning, thoughtful people who've hit a wall they can't get past alone. Anxiety that won't quit. A transition that's harder than expected. A pattern they keep repeating.

My approach is collaborative and direct. I won't just listen and nod — I'll work with you on specific, practical strategies while also exploring the deeper patterns that keep certain problems in place. Most clients start seeing real shifts within the first 6–8 sessions.

I work primarily with adults (25–55) who are ready to do the work. If that sounds like you, I'd love to connect on a free 15-minute consultation call.

Areas of Focus

What I Help With

I work with a range of concerns — if you don't see yours listed, reach out and we'll talk.

🌀

Anxiety & Stress

Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, perfectionism, and chronic stress that's affecting your work or relationships.

Most Requested
🌧️

Depression

Low mood, lack of motivation, feeling disconnected or empty. Treatment that goes beyond "just think positive" to create real, lasting change.

🔄

Life Transitions

Career changes, divorce, relocation, becoming a parent, retirement, or any major shift that's left you feeling uncertain about who you are now.

💔

Trauma & PTSD

Processing past trauma — whether a single event or years of difficult experiences — using evidence-based approaches including EMDR.

EMDR Certified
💑

Relationship Issues

Patterns that keep showing up in your relationships, communication difficulties, co-dependency, or recovering after a breakup or divorce.

🕊️

Grief & Loss

Losing a loved one, a relationship, a career, or a version of your life you expected. Grief takes many forms — all of them are valid.

Client Feedback

What Clients Are Saying

Real reviews from real people. Names abbreviated for privacy.

★★★★★

"I was hesitant to try therapy again after a bad experience elsewhere. Dr. Mitchell is completely different — she's direct, warm, and actually challenges you. I've made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of previous therapy."

"Going through a career transition and a divorce at the same time was overwhelming. Dr. Mitchell helped me see the situation clearly and make decisions I actually feel good about. The telehealth option was a lifesaver for my schedule."
