What you will receive with Dr. Jean Clarke-Mitchel is a high level of professionalism with unmatched personability. I do not know where I would be today without the treatment I have received during our work together. I have grown to be a better man and father as a direct result of her dedication to me as a client. I strongly recommend Dr. Jean to anyone seeking a high level of compassionate and effective service. — Mark P.
I have been a years-long client of Dr. Jean Clarke-Mitchell, and THAT is a significant feat! As a Elder Black Man, the notion of "therapy" was incomprehensible. ESPECIALLY, because I'd worked with White therapists in the past and always felt unseen and misunderstood. I had gotten to the place of deciding that therapy was "not for me". My time with Dr. Jean is a healing source of refuge and safety. I have felt from the very beginning of our time that she truly understood my background. AND most importantly, she has always listened deeply to my words. I cannot count the times she has recalled something I said in a session long before, and she was able to see a through-thread to my narrative and current challenge. And in helping me to make that connection in a way that gives me a sense of both autonomy AND discovery. I am so very THANKFUL to her for all of the times of reflection, insight, challenge, AND joy she has brought to my life. I recommend Dr. Jean completely and enthusiastically to those seeking to achieve a sense of well-being in their lives. — Roger P.
When I found Dr. Jean Clarke-Mitchell, my whole world began to change for the better. Dr. Jean introduced me to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I am learning to live a normal life, how to recognize my triggers—to label them and work through them, I am learning so much, and I have a long way to go yet; I have a lot more to learn, however it does seem like my world is safe now. Maybe not 100%, because I still have some fears and triggers to work through, but I can say, DBT is the best option in the world that is really working for me. Should you utilize this tool? Well, that is up to you. Though I can attest to the fact that it works for me so it should work for you if you let it. I appreciate utilizing DBT, I am grateful to be learning that the things I went through weren't, and never were my fault. I was a victim, but now I am a survivor! — Anna M.
I am an 80-year-old woman with medical concerns, and I want to praise an important woman in my life who has been a help and my therapist for many years. Dr. Jean has been supportive, compassionate, and helpful in many ways. I wish there were more Dr. Jeans to help this world of troubled individuals. She always tells me if something is troubling me to call her or text in between our appts as Dr. Jean really cares and wants to help everyone who is lucky enough to get her guidance and help and advice. I so appreciate her, that is why I am writing this letter. I hope she is given more good recognition as she so rightly deserves it. Thank you so much for letting me praise a good person who always wants to be there emotionally and beneficially for all others.
— Sincerely, Joan S.
