Douglas Mitchell, LMFT

Pronouns: He, him You are aware that having a gay therapist is essential. My wish is to support you! I’m a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I use this practical method to help you with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sexuality, and ADHD. Some adjectives that might describe my style are engaged, respectful, down-to-earth, relaxed, mindful, insight-oriented, and solution-focused. At times I might recommend that you read something, or ask you to complete an assignment between sessions in order to deepen your work. My passion is helping you clarify your direction, regulate your moods, and master your focus. To support couples, I maintain an attachment focus while using a combination of Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help couples heal hurts and to increase their connection through home assignments, practice and better communication. These are the most highly research methods available, with proven track records. I work with people in diverse communities, including those in kink and alternative relationships. I know that when you look within you gain confidence in yourself and your choices. My goal is to support you in maintaining a big picture perspective while you are processing your thoughts and emotions. I will honor your innate intelligence. My graduate degree is in Expressive Arts Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. If you believe in balancing mind, body, and spirit, then we might be a good fit for each other, as I believe each is essential to the healing process. Because your history and experiences are unique, I will do my best to meet you where you are. I want what is best for you just as much as you do!
