Welcome!  My name is Dr. Juliann Mitchell, Ph.D. I am a licensed psychologist with over twenty years experience in counseling and psychotherapy.  I am also a published author of three books, and a workshop presenter. Thank you for taking the time and energy to stop by.  

I listen without judging, am sincere, caring, compassionate, insightful, calming, and experienced.  It is important to find a professional to whom you feel connected and safe.  I have many tools to share with you.  Learning to manage your thoughts and feelings is a cornerstone to living a life free from guilt and self-blame. Life is not fair. We cannot always change what happens to us, but we can change how we handle  it. I am dedicated to helping you help yourself. There is something very special in each and every one of us.  It would be my privilege to accompany you on your journey to self-discovery and wholeness whatever your issues and challenges.
