Mitchell Thompson, M.A., N.C.C
Having spent more than two decades working with adults with mental retardation in group home settings Mitchell is convinced that anyone can grow to overcome life’s challenges with hard work and loving support. He is keenly aware that God cares for everyone and that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. Mitchell has a Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from Regent University. He is a Nationally Certified Counselor and is pursuing licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). He is a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS).
In addition to his experience working with people with developmental disabilities, he has worked with people facing the challenges of addictions, anxiety, depression, and trauma and has a passion for helping couples improve their marriages and especially for helping otherwise reluctant men find out how rich an experience counseling can be. He uses a wide variety of empirically tested approaches to improve the client’s life. A committed Christian for over 25 years, Mitchell is also comfortable working with individuals of other faith perspectives or those without any theistic worldview. Each counseling relationship is tailored to the individual client’s needs and strengths.
Mitchell continues to work with adults with developmental disabilities, sits on the board of Restoration Ranch, a program that re-integrates homeless men into society, and has been involved in a variety of lay positions in the body of Christ. His hobbies include music, theology, backpacking, and gardening. He is married with two children.
