Jessica Mitchell Counseling

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Washington University. Following my formal education I gained experience working in community mental health for two years before transitioning to a group practice. I currently am accepting clients ages 16+. Seeking counseling services can be daunting and it can take a lot of courage to reach out for help, so congratulations on making it here! I conceptualize our life’s journey as a winding mountain path with peaks and valleys, where at certain points we need support to successfully navigate growth and healing. You are the expert on your own experience, your own mountain, and it is my intention is to provide a safe place to breathe, think, feel, and examine with curiosity your own personal experience of being a human. My goal is to facilitate your journey of healing, increased self-knowledge, and growth in a supportive and compassionate environment. Throughout our work together, I aim to help you identify and celebrate your strengths and encourage insight, willingness, and bravery in exploring places of growth and vulnerability to make meaningful changes. I draw from different theoretical orientations depending on each individual client’s need, meeting each client where they are in life and along their own healing journey. I pull from emotion-focused, client-centered, interpersonal therapy and will utilize a variety of approaches to best support holistic healing of the mind, body, and soul. I guide my approach within a trauma-informed, multicultural, and social justice framework, aiming to understand my clients’ worldview and the systems they operate within and connect them to their larger social context.
