Welcome to Family Forward Counseling Services. My name is JJ Mitchell, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the therapist here at Family Forward. For more than seven years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families throughout the Tulsa community.

During five of those years, my work centered on supporting children and families navigating the effects of trauma, loss, and other painful life experiences. These years deepened my belief that healing happens in connection—and that meaningful change begins when we feel truly seen, supported, and safe.

My practice is grounded in attachment-based models, emphasizing the power of relationships to foster healing and growth. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, I work collaboratively with you to strengthen resilience and nurture the connections that matter most.

My family and I are proud to call Oklahoma home, and it’s a joy to serve the Tulsa community. I welcome you to reach out when you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth.
