I’ve done therapy off and on for a few years with two other therapists but what I’ve learned in a few months with Mitch is huge. I feel like I found the therapist I click with and can get a huge amount from. This deels transformative. And what I also really value is his humanity and humour and the wide ranging references he can pull from to help things make sense to me. I found Mitch thanks to the betterhelp groupinars that he was doing on the hero’s journey amongst other things and what started out as just looking to attribute a nugget of wisdom on twitter turned into the best therapy partnership I’ve had. Turns out groupinars are also a great window to get a sense of fit for a potential therapist because I’ve always struggled with the idea of going on a bio and a chat.

I became a therapist to help people suffer less and grow more. I believe that therapy is a journey and that just as you wish to move past your pain, your pain has a meaning. Our goal is not to get you back to who you were before your issues began, but to integrate the lessons life is offering you through this challenging time.
I've worked in private practice, a mental health jail, a high-needs public clinic and in people's homes; I've exposed myself to a variety of human challenges and triumphs. Over a decade of practice, I've learned to have space for people's processes, to be a safe space as a container, to remain grounded in my listening and to be authentic in my practice.
I often use a spiritual approach in treatment -- not of any religion, but in the sense that a deeper, more meaningful and integrated you seeks to come forth. This approach has been fruitful for people of all beliefs, including atheists. I believe your life has a meaning, and that you are it.
I only do teletherapy via video - no messaging or phone calls. I also need to know the basics of your case and your needs before agreeing to beginning treatment, even if the algorithm matches us. This is to ensure I am a good clinical fit for you, and can responsibly and compassionately support you in therapy.
Finally, I write about therapy at https://medium.com/@myartman and https://medium.com/@myartman/membership
Thank you.

About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
