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.

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.

I am dedicated to working with clients whose personality and life experience were shaped by more than one culture: You might be an international student or in your 20's or 30's navigating anxiety. You might have been raised by 1st generation Asian parents or one and half or 2nd generation immigrants. You might be struggling in a relationship where you and your partner come from different cultural backgrounds not feeling understood. You are in the relationship but you both feel alone in the relationship. I love to help. I work with clients individually and as couples.

As a clinician, I integrate psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches and EMDR with a Gestalt orientation and aim to make psychotherapy practical, flexible, and thoroughly individualized, matching the treatment to the changing needs of the client. I work with adults and couples and also do life coaching, management training, and executive coaching. In addition, I conduct wellness seminars on various topics (e.g., stress management, meditation, healthy eating, alternative healing). An area of expertise includes working with the expatriate community.

I specialize with working younger adults who are struggling in school or at work. Transitioning to high school, college, or a new job is a stressful process. Feelings of anxiety, depression and self-doubt get in the way of thriving and excelling at school or at work. When struggling with anxiety and depression, often the quality of sleep, diet, and exercise are also poor. Relationships with friends and family are strained, as feelings of depression and anxiety make them stuck and prevent them from enjoying the world around them. Clients want to break free, and feel joy, satisfaction, and contentment. Clients want to live life happy.

Welcome. Life can become overwhelming sometimes ( understatement! ). My sessions are authentic, very interactive, empathetic, and solution focused. You will get more clarity on the issues you're facing, have more self-awareness, and insights(!), feel well supported, learn strategies to use unique to you, and grow a lot. I am experienced in successfully treating a variety of issues: Stress, Anxiety or Panic, Adapting to change, Depression, Bi-Polar, OCD, Trauma/PTSD, Fear, Spectrum Disorder, Addictions, Issues in Divorce/pre-div, Survivors of Abuse & Narcissistic Abuse, or clients who are/were psycho-emotionally violated by others.

Hello. My name is Kanako Okuda. I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York State with over 20+ years of experience helping individuals from various walks of life. I earned my Doctorate of Social Work from Rutgers School of Social Work and a Master’s Degree from Columbia University. I have worked with healthcare and higher education, helping individuals successfully manage major life transitions and chronic health conditions, cope with educational anxiety, and deal with work challenges.

My approach in therapy is to create a safe environment so that you can feel comfortable sharing your stories and experiences. Life can be stressful, with many ups and downs and at times tends to be unpredictable and overwhelming. Together, we will find positivity in your life and develop coping strategies to better manage your stressors.

My approach to therapy is practical and empathic. It is my goal to help you live and love your life by developing the insights and tools necessary to overcome whatever difficulties you experience. Clinically, I specialize in helping people who suffer from anxiety, depression, OCD, anger, stress, relationship problems, and longstanding psychological issues.

I am an accomplished Psychoanalyst, Pre-Marital Counselor and EFT Couples Therapist, and strive to help individuals and couples find their harmony and achieve their life goals. If you are struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety or depression, I look forward to helping you regain your sense of self. If you are a pre-marital couple looking for guidance in achieving marital harmony and success, I look forward to helping you. If you are a couple or family in conflict, I will help you to understand why your relationship has broken down, and how to rebuild safety, trust and healthy communication patterns.

With an infusion of humor and genuine warmth, I offer care that is direct, person-centered, and liberatory. By fostering a collaborative, empowering, anti-oppressive atmosphere, I actively support you as you navigate life's challenges while also celebrating your unique strengths. I encourage open communication, foster active self-discovery, and facilitate goal-setting to empower you on your personal journey toward growth, resilience, and overall well-being.

Please note that my practice is for adults residing in New York State only. Today you are one step closer to a new personal space where you feel empowered and enabled to experience your true personal freedom. We often limit our personal freedom and our way to happiness because of our fear of expressing our true self, not the false self which is dictated by others. My goal is to help you uncover your true self and lead a balanced life that is truly meaningful to you. I use Jungian Psychoanalytic therapy primarily, but I also use other modalities such as Mindfulness-based or Existential psychotherapy at times.

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.
