Hi, I offer multicultural therapy for professionals, individuals, and couples in CA & NH. You may be used to holding a great deal—managing expectations, staying composed, and continuing to move forward even when something feels off. Over time, this can begin to feel like burnout, emotional fatigue, or a quiet sense of disconnection from yourself or your relationships. I offer a space to slow down, take a breath, and make sense of your experiences with greater clarity. I work with multicultural individuals, professionals, and couples navigating stress, identity, and relational patterns that feel difficult to shift.
My approach is integrative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed, combining talk therapy with somatic and experiential practices. We may explore both present concerns and how past experiences continue to shape your responses. I offer telehealth sessions in English and Japanese for clients in California and New Hampshire.
My work is shaped by my multicultural upbringing as a third culture kid, my Japanese heritage, and my experience as an immigrant Asian American. I also bring a background in global corporate and tech environments, which informs my understanding of the pressures many professionals carry. I invite you to reach out and begin with a consultation.

I work with multicultural individuals, professionals, and couples experiencing stress, identity-related concerns, and relational patterns that are difficult to shift.

Mitsue brings nuance and calm to her somatic work. She has a deep understanding of cultural issues, especially the experience of "being the minority" and the sense of not belonging. She also does outstanding work with couples. Highly recommend!

Our work will be trauma-informed and culturally responsive, incorporating somatic, relational, and experiential approaches, including EMDR and PACT when appropriate. Sessions focus on exploring underlying processes, including implicit emotional and somatic responses as they emerge in the present. This supports integration, increased psychological flexibility, and more enduring change.
