I offer a thoughtful, grounded space to help you better understand what’s happening beneath the surface of your experiences. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside, yet feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally - often repeating patterns they don’t fully understand.
My approach focuses on helping you develop deeper awareness of your patterns, emotions, and relationships - both with yourself and others. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s coming up for you, while also helping you recognize the patterns shaping your experiences and responses.

Many of the people I work with struggle with stress, anxiety, and an inner critic that doesn’t seem to turn off
My work is relational and depth-oriented. Rather than just managing symptoms, we slow things down and look at the patterns underneath—how anxiety, past experiences, and relationships shape what’s happening right now. I draw from EMDR, IFS, EFT, and narrative therapy to help you feel more grounded, clear, and connected.

Hello! My name is Dr. David Hirohama. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. My approach to therapy is client-centered and empathic. Tell me your life story and I will design a personalized treatment plan that takes into consideration all the major people and events in your life that have influenced and led you to the present day. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful and unhealthy patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior. Figuring out what these patterns are, and becoming skilled at catching them as they occur, is the key to positive change and mental and emotional health.
