Mitchell Tokarek

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to visit my bio! My approach to therapy is a lot like my approach to life in that I believe every part of us is interconnected, and it is helpful to look at things from a holistic perspective. I practice psychotherapy by looking at the mind-body connection and its impact on our health and wellness, taking time to consider the biological, psychological, and sociological influences in a person’s life and how this contributes to the bigger picture.  

​

We know that one size does not fit all in therapy, and that is why I like to keep well-versed in many different types of evidence-based modalities of treatments, such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman Couples Therapy (Level 1 and Level 2), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I have also attended workshops and/or completed training for other modalities of treatment including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Play Therapy. Given my interest in the mind-body connection, I also have a particular passion for helping people develop healthier daily habits related to sleep, exercise, and appetite!

​

My practice is trauma and attachment informed. More than anything, it is important to me that people feel seen, heard, and understood when sharing their experience, and I emphasize meeting people where they are at in exploring the changes they would like to make in life. I believe that people do well when they are able to and can accomplish amazing things when psychological barriers are removed from their path.

​

A little about me:  I have had the privilege of working to develop my practice for over a decade, working in a wide variety of clinical settings ranging from addiction facilities, hospitals, community mental health clinics, and emergency shelters. I feel grateful for these experiences and the people I’ve met and worked with as they’ve helped me grow into becoming the Registered Psychologist that I am today. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually spending time with my family – including my service dog in training, Krieg!

​

If you’re looking for a change in life and feel like I would be a good fit in helping you get there, please feel free to reach out for an initial consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!
