Hiroko was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan, and she's fluent in both Japanese and English. She began her work as a counselor in 2017. And her vast background in providing spiritual care as a hospice and hospital chaplain makes her uniquely qualified to provide a therapeutic experience that is wholistic in approach and insightful in application. She immigrated to the US as a young adult, and throughout her time in the states has been exposed to multi-cultural communities. Through these experiences, she learned to value the ability to see through different cultural lenses.

Do you ever feel like you are on ‘autopilot’ or just ‘going through the motions’ in your day-to-day life? Maybe you fill your schedule so full that you barely have any time in the day to be still... so that you do not have time to feel or process heavy experiences you have been holding on to? Perhaps you have started to notice that your relationships with those around you are becoming harder and harder to maintain and you are unsure how to get out of this cycle. Let me tell you, this life was not meant to live on auto pilot, and you are meant for so much more!

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
