Douglas Mitchell, LMFT

Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.

I work with adults with ADHD who are intelligent, driven, and capable, yet struggle with focus, follow-through, time management, and emotional regulation. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, procrastination, burnout, or self-doubt—despite knowing what they “should” be doing.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ adults, particularly gay men, who are navigating the intersection of ADHD, identity, and high personal or professional expectations. This often includes challenges with rejection sensitivity, perfectionism, relationship dynamics, and maintaining consistency in daily life.

My approach is structured, practical, and insight-driven. We focus on executive functioning skills, building sustainable systems, and reducing the mental load that comes with ADHD. This includes improving organization, decision-making, emotional regulation, and the ability to follow through—without relying on willpower alone.

For those seeking therapy, I offer virtual sessions for California residents. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a trauma-informed, person-centered approach—helping you move from insight into real, consistent change.

If you’re ready to feel more focused, grounded, and in control of your life, I’d be honored to support you.
