Intro
My name is Wister Mitchelson and I live in Virginia as a licensed professional counselor. I provided person centered support that fosters growth towards emotional stability and heightened self perspective. Counseling provides an opportunity to confidentially work through some of those issues with an unbiased, non-judgemental, and empathetic trained professional.
I focus on reckoning and building upon each person's strengths, rather than solely addressing challenges, typically operating from a perspective of strengths-based therapy. My approach emphasizes recognizing and nurturing the inherent abilities and talents that every individual possesses, rather than framing their experience solely through the lens of challenges or deficits.
Many autistic individuals experience co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or stress, due to the challenges they face navigating the world. Therapists may want to help them build resilience, develop coping strategies, and improve emotional well-being.
