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.
I am a Master’s-level Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds across a wide range of settings, including a children’s psychiatric hospital and a maximum-security state prison. My work has focused on assessment, treatment planning, and connecting clients with the care that best fits their needs, while also providing therapy through a variety of trauma-informed approaches.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I view individuals within the context of the larger relationships, systems, and environments that shape their lives. I understand that challenges such as anger, fear, sadness, and overwhelming thoughts or emotions can deeply affect a person’s ability to function and feel at peace. My goal is to help clients better understand their experiences, build on their strengths, and regain the ability to thrive in their environment. I am open to working with adolescents ages 13 and older.
I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker providing therapy for 16 years to people aged 4 to 104. I have experience working with people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. I also have experience working with couples and families to overcome challenges.
I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Kansas. I provide medication management and individual therapy. After years working in a busy community health setting, I made the move to private practice to allow for more patient centered time. 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.
I've spent my career helping people navigate life's challenges. I have been a therapist for over fourteen years. I've worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups, and I genuinely enjoy my work. I know that life can be difficult, and there can be times when you feel alone, without anyone who understands you or the situation you are facing. That is why I became a therapist to help those who feel stuck and misunderstood. I will never make you feel like just a number. My approach is client-centered and solution-focused. I will work with you in helping you reach the goals that mean the most to you.
Hello! Thank you for stopping by.
I’ve worked with diverse clients, including university students, couples, trauma survivors, veterans, and individuals managing anger. I truly believe people can change, and I’m honored to walk beside them through that process.
With over a decade of experience, I offer tailored therapy for diverse challenges: Disruptive Behavior, Parental Stress, LGBTQIA Support, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Relationships, Grief, Life Transitions, BIPOC Concerns, and Personal Growth. I use a holistic approach integrating Trauma-Informed Care, CBT, and Behavior Therapy. Let's work towards healing and growth together!
Hello! My name is Jason Porter. I work with adults, and teens and couples who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or just some general life struggles. I know from experience that life can be difficult, and sometimes getting some help can make all the difference. I love to listen and help others live the life they want to live. I believe this is my purpose and feel blessed to be able to help. I started my mental health career working at a community mental health center for several years. I then moved on to School counseling, and now I am working in private practice.
Hello! My name is Zachary! I am happy you visited my profile. Before you begin browsing, I just want to say you are strong and you have incredible power in you to journey towards healing. I believe in your success and your potential.
I received my Bachelor of Arts at Goshen College and my Master of Social Work at Andrews University. I am a LCSW in Indiana, LISW-S in Ohio, and a LSCSW in Kansas.
I have experience in care management and facilitation, providing counseling to juveniles on probation, delivering therapy to those who have been court ordered, doing home-based clinical services, implementing and administering Family Centered Treatment© to families, hospice social work, community mental health, certified clinical behavioral health clinics, conducting counseling to geriatric and SPMI populations, as well as telehealth.
I earned the MSW from the University of Kansas in 2014. I have since engaged in a range of direct human and mental health service work; including in-home therapy with youth and their families connected to state child protective services; crisis therapy and case management in a short-term crisis stabilization facility; outpatient community mental health therapy including work with individuals, families or couples, and groups.
I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping you develop skills that you can use outside of our sessions rather than simply talking through problems week after week. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that helps people respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action toward the life they want to build.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, my goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing and feel supported as we work toward lasting change. I strive to balance compassion with directness, offering both validation and practical strategies to help you move forward in a way that aligns with your values.
