Finding the right provider can make all the difference.

Hello, my name is Denise M. Hunter-Mitchell, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
My therapeutic perspective begins and ends with grace. I entered this profession to support individuals as they reflect, create space for healing, and move toward lives shaped by purpose, balance, and meaning.
I believe healing occurs when people are met with compassion, patience, and the freedom to grow at their own pace.
If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, mood shifts, or ADHD symptoms and wondering whether medication could help, you’re not alone. I work with teens and adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and stress-related challenges.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of medical expertise and genuine compassion. With a background in both psychiatry and intensive medical care, I understand how closely the mind and body are connected. My goal is to make care accessible and consistent, which is why I offer flexible scheduling and telehealth appointments.
In our first sessions, we’ll review your history, clarify your symptoms, and determine whether medication is appropriate. If it is, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with your goals and overall health.
Outside of work, I find balance through yoga, comedy, time with my dog, and enjoying sunny days — reminders that healing comes from both steady progress and moments of joy.
I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Kansas. I provide medication management and individual therapy.

I value delivering care that is patient centered which may include medication or therapy or both. Healing looks different for everyone, and I'm committed to building a plan that fits your life. Whether you're managing a long-standing condition or stepping into mental health care for the first time, I'll meet you where you are.
