Japanese Therapists in Sacramento, CA

あなたはこれまで、あなたの話にじっと耳を傾け、急いで解決策を提供するでもなく、ただ心に寄り添ってもらったという経験はありますか？セラピー（カウンセリング）はそういう場所です。セラピーはあなたのための時間です。交代で相手の話を聞いてあげる必要はありません。家族や友人を心配させたくないから悩みを打ち明けられないとか、すでに周りの人に話しすぎてうんざりさせてしまった、という時はセラピストの出番です。また、セラピーは心の弱い人が行くところ、とか、重い精神病の人がかかるもの、との認識で二の足を踏んでしまうこともあるでしょう。自分や家族の問題を第三者になんて話せない、とも思うかもしれません。でも、第三者であるからこそ、気を遣わずにすむのです。セラピストには守秘義務があるので、あなたが話してくださることは他言しません。そういう意味で、セラピーは安全な場所だと感じていただけたら嬉しいです。なんとなくモヤモヤした気持ち、はっきり説明できないけれど満たせれない心、どこにもぶつけられない怒り。当てはまるものがあったら、ぜひご相談ください。

現代の生活リズムはとても早く、毎日の生活に追われ、ストレス源も多く、自分の心の声に耳を傾けることは忘れられがちです。心の疲れや不調は、うつや不安、パニック、不眠、過食、慢性的な体の不調といったさまざまな形をとって現れます。ひとりで悩まず、心の中の思いをカウンセラーに話していくことで、抑えこんでいた感情が徐々に吐き出され、混乱していた思考が整理されていきます。

I have joy, passion, and success working with minority, biracial, and 1st generation/immigrants who experience challenges adjusting to blended families and new/blended cultures.

My clients appreciate the gentle, warm, and supportive work we do together. They enjoy being seen, heard, and challenged to deepen self-awareness and overcome sadness, low self-esteem, shame, guilt, and anxiety.

I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. I provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. My clients describe me "DIFFERENT" and "EFFECTIVE". I will help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

Therapy with me is a place of active change. I help people manage stress and reduce overwhelm, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and move from "stuckness" into growth. My patients come to me to shift thinking styles, improve communication, and increase productivity. I use evidence-based practices (such as CBT and mindfulness) to enhance self-awareness, build skills, and achieve targeted goals. We also explore core beliefs and behavior patterns to deepen self-understanding. With couples, my work is informed by the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy. My office is located in a beautiful, peaceful marina setting.

We all have moments in our lives when we need a little support. Even the most loving relationships can encounter bumpy roads, and thriving careers can at times become a major stressor. If you are here, you may be in that moment now - feeling stuck or overwhelmed in some way. I provide individuals, couples (and relationships of every kind) a place to slow down, take a breath and explore what’s going on and where you’d like to go. I also work with teens and young adults who are often under great pressure balancing school, life, and growing up, and offer a place to find their footing.

Are you lonely, feeling depressed and hopeless thinking that life has passed you by? Are you struggling with a transition in your life: empty nest, divorce, newly married, or the loss of a loved one or a new job? I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with these issues. I help clients acquire direction and tools to move beyond old "non working"patterns in their lives. I work to see your growth through empowerment, direction and education.

Welcome! As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I am passionate and dedicated to helping my clients overcome personal difficulties, and experiencing hope and change. Therapy works in a powerful way when the therapist and the client work together in a safe place to help you heal.

They feel excited to live their lives again.

Are you a witch, wizard, mystic scholar, medicine person seeking a 1:1 space dedicated to your personal healing to expand upon, process, and integrate your journey without worrying about colonizing psychotherapy bullshit? Do you come from colonizer lineage like me (I'm Japanese and reside in imperialist United States) and seek support in your process of addressing ancestral trauma and healing, so that we can own the entirety of our Beingness and transform this paradigm, creating a new civilization with our reclaimed liberated minds and joy? Do you yearn to feel the safety and harmony between with your mind, body and heart again?

I specialize in working with individuals with a focus on Jungian Depth Psychotherapy. Patients in my practice often feel a sense of being lost, stuck feeling empty, and confused and are looking for something to unlock the keys to their difficulties. These can be challenging times with today’s fast pace, with a daily influx of information and rapid changes in technology that make it difficult for us to find the truth and our best interest sometimes. The difficulties may manifest in depression, anxiety, or other somatic symptoms.

You're not alone in feeling the lasting impacts of stress, abuse, and neglect. Such hardships can often manifest in our lives as depression, anxiety, anger, or low self-esteem. Through therapy, we'll embark on a journey to navigate these difficult emotions, build your confidence, and help you express yourself authentically. If low motivation, worry, or stress has been weighing you down, consider therapy not merely as a solution but as a catalyst for growth.

Hi, I'm Miya! I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, Asian American & Pacific Islander, and other POC/immigrant communities. I support clients who are exploring their identities, processing trauma and grief, making sense of family patterns and cultural influences, struggling with anxiety or depression, or just wanting to become a better version of themselves.

I am a licensed, clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience. I have extensive experience in working with diverse clients, ranging from preschool age children to adults. I use a warm, collaborative approach to help people who are experiencing anxiety (including panic attacks), depression, burnout and career change, trauma, relationship problems and life transition. My primary concern is to assist each person to develop insights, clarity and tools to move towards emotionally fulfilling life and overall sense of well-being.

Many times people feel they don't have anyone who truly understands them or anyone to show them the compassion they need. I am passionate about providing both understanding and compassion to all of my clients. I really want to hear your own story, understand the dynamics of your specific relationships and help you reach your personal goals and dreams. I've loved and cherished my family relationships, both while growing up, and now with my wife and children. I strive to provide a safe environment to share highs and lows and hopes and fears with clients as they too pursue those cherished relationships.

Psychotherapy is a way of creating safe/trusted relationship with a therapist while discovering different views of what clients face in their life.
