Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Taeja Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a graduate of the Counseling Psychology PhD program at Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN. She completed an APA- accredited doctoral internship at George Mason University’s Counseling and Psychological Services. Her clinical experience includes providing psychological assessments, individual and group therapy in private practice, university, and veteran settings. She utilizes a relational-cultural, intersectional, and culturally conscious approach to care, recognizing how identity, culture, relationships, and the broader social zeitgeist shape experiences of mental health and well-being. She has a particular interest in supporting individuals navigating trauma, relationships, body image concerns, and racial/cultural oppression. She is especially passionate about helping people from marginalized communities feel seen, understood, and affirmed in their experiences. Dr. Mitchell strives to create a warm, authentic, and growth fostering space where students can explore challenges, build meaningful relationships, develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others, and cultivate lives that feel more aligned with their values.
Dr. Mitchell’s approach to supervision strives to foster mutual growth, authenticity, and empowerment. She creates a collaborative space that allows supervisees to enhance their clinical skills within a nonjudgmental and compassionate environment. She uses appropriate self-disclosure to model active problem-solving, encourage curiosity, and support supervisees in strengthening their clinical conceptualization and therapeutic techniques.
Outside of work, Dr. Mitchell enjoys reading, listening to music, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.
