Mitchell Phelps (he/him)

I help adults dealing with ongoing worry, work stress, overthinking, difficulty unwinding, physical tension, and anxiety around relationships or major life changes. Together, we can better understand the patterns that keep anxiety going while building practical ways to respond differently. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, emotion-regulation skills, and exploration of the experiences and pressures contributing to your anxiety.

I use motivational interviewing to help clients explore mixed feelings, clarify what matters most to them, and identify their own reasons for change. Rather than telling you what to do, I work collaboratively with you to understand what may be keeping you stuck, strengthen your motivation, and develop realistic next steps that align with your goals and values. This approach can be especially helpful when one part of you wants change while another part feels unsure or not quite ready.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical reactions can influence one another. Together, we look for patterns that may contribute to anxiety, stress, avoidance, or feeling stuck, then experiment with practical ways to respond differently. CBT can help you become more aware of automatic reactions, test unhelpful assumptions, build coping skills, and practice changes that translate into everyday life.

I believe you know your own life best. My person-centered approach creates a space where you can speak openly, feel genuinely heard, and explore what is happening without judgment or pressure. I work to understand your experience rather than assume I already know what is best for you. Together, we can notice strengths, patterns, needs, and possibilities for change while moving at a pace that feels useful and manageable, with room for reflection, uncertainty, and your own priorities.

I especially welcome men who are new to therapy or who are used to handling stress on their own. Therapy can be a place to talk openly about anxiety, relationships, work pressure, grief, identity, anger, emotional expression, or feeling stuck—without judgment or pressure to have all the answers. We can work toward understanding what is happening beneath the surface while finding practical ways to move forward.”

I have extensive experience helping people with substance-use concerns and recovery. My approach is nonjudgmental and collaborative. Together, we can explore patterns of use, motivation for change, relapse risks, coping strategies, and what recovery could realistically look like for you. I believe recovery can look different for different people, and we can work toward goals that are meaningful and sustainable for you.
