Hello, my name is
Mary Mitchell
I AM A REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER
I provide a service to people who may, or may not, experience mental health issues, who are looking for extra support and inspiration. I live in the country with my husband and our cat, Alia and our two dogs Lincoln and Ruff. I have been based in Levin for about fifteen years and am originally from Hawera, Taranaki.
I work with adults who at times experience mental health issues. They may fall through the gaps in the Mental Health System or they may just want support to avoid the Mental Health System. I am passionate about helping people find their own solutions at their own pace. You don’t have to experience mental health issues to come to me. If you are looking for direction, motivation, confidence building and encouragement, “Talk to me”.
Believe you can, and you’re halfway there.

What's in it for me?
Feeling lost? Struggling at the moment? Wanting extra support? See someone who listens and provides encouragement. This is a place where you are able to share what is happening for you. You may want some inspiration, advice and ideas on what to do next. You may just want to be heard. You will get the opportunity to understand where your stress is coming from and what you can do about it.
When it rains, look for Rainbows.
When it's dark, look for Stars.
