Searching Pathways Therapy

There are many reasons why I rate Dr. Mitchell so highly — where to start? He genuinely wants to get to know you and to help you find the resolutions you seek. Not all doctors do, and I found it very comforting that I was not just another calendar item. He wants to «be there» for you — he certainly was for me, and I am so grateful for the time I spent talking with him.
He and I ended up connecting over certain books, tv shows, and dogs, and I found it easier to be more blunt and to open up (being more true to myself in doing so) because of the personal interests we shared. It was through these mutual personal interests that he was able to help me find perspective and meaning in the things I was doing with my life, and with the relationships I have (and hope to have). He clearly understands the different interrelated systems of the psyche, and helped me build places for understanding, healing, forgiveness, patience and joy.
This is a delayed posting, but for a reason. Early last year, we decided that I had built the tools in my toolbox to handle the concerns I initially brought to him. While there are always other things to address, the goals I set out to accomplish seemed to have come to a resolution. Soon thereafter, I was to be in two very delicate family gatherings that had all the makings to spark a lot of controversy and additional hurt. I waited to post because I wanted to know how I would fare with these new-​found tools — not because I was putting his work to the test, but so that I would have some clearer perspective on what I learned before saying anything. Without giving details away, I went into these situations armed with constructive strategies. With patience and kind persistence, I made progress that I never expected I would — and was able to enjoy myself at these events.
It is my hope that whomever reads this and is looking for some answers will consider Dr. Mitchell to help you find the resolutions you seek (and maybe even ones you didn’t know were there). I treasure what I learned in the time I spent as his patient, and wish the same for you.
