Psychology Practice – Searching Pathways Therapy
Searching Pathways Therapy is a clinician-led practice located at 1059 Alameda de las Pulgas in Belmont, California 94002, serving clients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The practice is operated by two licensed psychologists: Robert Mitchell, PhD, who works with adults and couples, and Sara Larios Mitchell, PhD, who works with children, adolescents, and adults.
Robert Mitchell’s clinical focus areas include anxiety, addiction, trauma, bereavement, and relationship concerns. His stated approach integrates depth-oriented therapeutic work with practical, real-world strategies. The practice describes his orientation as grounded in solid clinical practice, responsive to clients’ actual life circumstances, collaborative rather than prescriptive, and attuned to both emotional experience and practical change as parallel dimensions of treatment.
Sara Larios Mitchell specializes in trauma and anxiety, with a particular emphasis on emotional safety and developmentally appropriate care for younger clients. Her work with children and adolescents incorporates skills for emotional regulation and resilience. She also works with adult clients across a range of presenting concerns, with a similar focus on trauma-informed, safety-centered therapeutic support.
Services include individual therapy for adults, children, and adolescents, as well as couples therapy. Sessions are available in-person at the Belmont, California office and via teletherapy for clients throughout the state. The practice characterizes its overall approach as offering thoughtful, trauma-informed care that respects the complexity of being human across different life stages and presenting situations.
Insurance acceptance and self-pay rate details are not specified on the practice website. The year of establishment is not stated on the site. Contact and new client intake information are available through the website. The two-clinician structure provides clinical coverage from childhood through adulthood within a shared framework emphasizing collaboration, emotional safety, and practical therapeutic change. The Belmont, California location at 1059 Alameda de las Pulgas serves as the base for in-person sessions, while teletherapy expands access to clients throughout California who cannot attend in person. The complementary specializations of the two psychologists, one focused on adult and couples concerns including addiction and bereavement, the other on child and adolescent development and trauma, allow the practice to address referrals across a broad clinical range.
