Japanese Therapists in 10011

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in the U.S., Japan and Europe. I provide psychotherapy for adults who experience relationship issues, difficulty coping after a stressful event and life transitions. I draw from relational, insight-oriented, cognitive and trauma-focused approaches and am committed to creating a safe, supportive and collaborative environment.

Have you noticed that you haven't been sleeping well? That you worry a lot, are unhappy or having relationship issues? Have you ever felt like your life is out of control? It doesn't have to be that way. I am here to help. Let me tell you a little bit about my background. I am Japanese but have been living in the United States for more than thirty years. I am a trained psychoanalyst and for more than 20 years have been practicing psychotherapy.

Hypnosis is not controlling people, as is often depicted in the movies. Hypnosis is an effective scientific technique that puts your brain function at a maximum level to help you best solve your troubled issues. In a subconscious/hypnotized state, you can recall any information even though it is deeply buried in your mind. With your subconscious mind, you can simply understand information that is given to you better than ever. Your subconscious mind gives the strongest support to your own will to overcome dieting or quitting smoking. It works, so I shifted my career to an emphasis on hypnotherapy.

I can help you when you are: Feeling depressed, sad, panicky or anxious. Having difficulty with work/school, breaking up a relationship or seeking how to repair a relationship. Just wanting to be heard and understood. Seeking to make positive transitions, self-growth and improve yourself. I offer: Psychotherapy that can be the best for "YOU". Psychological insights, help find ways to cope with stress and best solutions. Finding a perfect therapist is a courageous important first step to achieving your goal! My practice is located in NYC, Westchester and Long Island. I will respond your inquiry within 24 hours.

It is my strong belief that the systems we navigate directly impact our mental health and well-being, and that through recognition and critical consciousness of these influences, we can radically free ourselves. My therapeutic approach borrows from Freirean thought, acknowledging that individuals are masters of their own experiences and that collaboratively we will liberate each other. I believe growing up multiracial (Chinese; White) and queer positioned me well to see how uniquely multifaceted each person is. In my therapy, we will nurture a nonjudgmental and explorative space centering your growth.

In my sessions, I employ gestalt therapy techniques like chair work as well as guided imagery, utilizing expressive arts with movement/music/visual art/poetry and/or drama. In general, I am not aiming to hand-out quick fix with my therapy sessions. Instead, I lead them to realizations or self-guidance to help each person to step forward in his/her life.

Life brings about a series of transitions, and transitions invariably lead to change. But making changes is not always so easy. Taking charge of your life, even taking action to make changes, can be challenging and even frightening - especially if you are already suffering from depression, anxiety, phobias or addictions, or when any of these symptoms starts affecting your professional life, interpersonal relationships, creative work or your day-to-day existence. I can help you to move forward as we work together in an environment safe from feelings of fear, shame or guilt.

My aim as a psychotherapist is to help individuals and couples stop repeating destructive and self-defeating patterns of behavior. I do so by helping people gain deeper understanding of their issues and the complex factors that underlie such patterns. We humans cling to familiar way of coping, even if we know that our behavior is no longer serving us, or is even hurting us. Understanding why we do what we do in the present will not only help us understand ourselves but will also help us let go of the familiar but dysfunctional way of coping with life events.

If you are reading this you may have come to a point in your life where you are seeking more support and guidance. So much of life we go at it alone; never speaking up on behalf of our wants and needs. Therapy can change this. Our work together may begin by defining your goals in therapy and how we can achieve them together, but it will grow to include more excitement and a greater sense of well being for you.
