Meet Mitchell
Growing up in a minority and immigrant culture, I witnessed mental health struggles, often seen as a "Western weakness." Despite this, I recognized its importance and supported my friends, sparking my desire to help others. In 2016, I was selected for the "Natural Helpers Program," which trains students to provide emotional support. This solidified my interest in healthcare and led me to pursue a Bachelors in Nursing degree. Upon graduating in 2019, I knew that the most fulfilling part of the job to me was listening to patients in their time of need and doing whatever I could to ease their mind. In 2021, I began the Doctor of Nursing Practice - Psychiatric Mental Health program, gaining experience in IOP, outpatient, inpatient, and private practice settings at a top-ranked program. This enhanced my skills in patient education, group therapy, medication & case management, and psychotherapy. I received consistent positive feedback on my ability to form strong therapeutic relationships, and I am a strong believer in the synergistic power of human connection, psychotherapy, and medication. Mental health is crucial to quality of life and I am passionate about helping people work towards building a life they love. I connect well with adolescents and young adults, understanding the pressures of growing up in today's rapidly changing world. My experience and approachability create a safe space where young people feel comfortable, fostering trust and collaboration in treatment. I truly believe patients have the power to heal themselves, and I am dedicated to helping them along their journey.
