My name is Dr. Aisha Mitchell-Washington, LCSW. I am the founder and CEO of AR Mitchell Consultants LLC, where we support individuals in achieving joy, inner peace, and their best selves through culturally responsive therapy and guidance. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years, gaining a wide range of diverse experiences that have helped me build the skills and wisdom necessary to support others through an intersectional lens—recognizing how overlapping identities such as race, gender, sexuality, ability, and socioeconomic status shape each person’s unique experience and needs.

I also acknowledge that the work of AR Mitchell Consultants LLC takes place on lands originally stewarded by diverse Indigenous peoples whose sovereignty and cultures endure despite colonization. I honor the enduring contributions and sacrifices of Indigenous communities. Additionally, I recognize that much of the economic development and wealth in this country, including the systems I work within, have been built on the exploited labor of enslaved Africans and their descendants. This acknowledgment calls me to ongoing reflection and action toward equity, justice, and healing.
