About Sanita Mitchell
I am your Grief and Marriage Coach
If you see your kid or a kid in your life is struggling with grief and loss and you’re not sure how to support them, I can help you navigate “When They Grieve.” I love to equip parents, teachers, guardians, camp workers with proven and evidence-based strategies to help children in their lives when they grieve.
​
In April 2010, I lost my beautiful daughter at 28 weeks of pregnancy. In 2018, I lost my best friend of 23 years. In 2019, I not only closed the doors to my childcare business but also lost my beloved mother. When I was unable to find employment and fighting to keep my marriage intact, I found herself in a dark, terrible place. However, my resilience and unshakable faith in God gave me the power to undergo a spiritual transformation. Not only did I find my voice (purpose), I found my freedom and joy!
My education and licensing include…
I have a bachelor’s in business administration from Strayer University.
I hold certifications in SYMBIS, Prepare Enrich, and Marriage Dynamics.
I’m a current graduate student for a Master’s degree in Pastoral and Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Marymount University. I am NOT licensed…yet!
My Experience
Over the past 6 years, I have worked with women who have experience pregnancy and infant loss, parent loss, friendship loss and pet loss. I have always enjoyed working with women the most because so many of us try to hide behind the mask. We try to look composed and together for our friends, family, and co-workers, but on the inside, we feel off balanced.
For over 10 years, I’ve helping couples have a striving and thriving marital relationship. For 15 years as blended family has showed me a different perspective on life and marriage in general. Antonio and I are both PRO-Blended families!! There can be more challenges involved in blended families, but they can be successful!!
