Aloha! I’m Mihoko, or you may call me Miho (pronounced mee-ho). I was born and raised in Japan and received my professional training in the US. I am fluent in Japanese and English and proficient in American Sign Language.

In my practice, I see adults of all ages navigating life’s challenges and am committed to providing unified and continuous support with compassion, understanding, clarity and purpose.

As a licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in providing compassionate individual counseling for adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief & loss, identity search, adjustment, guilt, shame, anger and loneliness.

In addition to my master’s degree in counseling, I am certified as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), with a specialty in empowering individuals with disabilities to achieve their personal, social, educational and vocational goals. As a CRC, I offer therapy to individuals who are blind, deaf, hard of hearing, as well as to others who are psysically, mentally, emotionally and cognitively challenged in society.

Recognizing that no single model fits all, I draw from a range of evidence-based and depth-oriented modalities, including compassion-focused, humanistic, existential, somatic-oriented, mindfulness-based, solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapies. My work focuses on uncovering the patterns and beliefs that keep clients stuck and guide them toward meaningful, lasting change.
