Mira Masukawa, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mira!

Are you feeling stuck, having trouble sleeping, or sensing something is off? Maybe your thinking feels cloudy and you're struggling to concentrate. Many clients dealing with loss tell me they don't recognize themselves anymore. I can help you discover your unique coping tools.

My focus

I meet you where you are. We spend the first few sessions getting to know you, listening to what brought you to therapy, and talking about treatment goals. Therapy isn't meant to be forever; we focus on what matters most to you. I introduce interventions based on your concerns and strengths, whether through reading, writing, or other approaches.

My approach

I work from a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental standpoint. Your experience is unique and specific to you. I have a therapy toolbox that I constantly adapt to fit your individual needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Existential Therapy to support what matters most to you.

My communication style

I create a warm, compassionate space where you feel heard without judgment. Each session is tailored to your unique experience and needs. You can expect a collaborative approach where we work together using tools from my therapy toolbox, adapting our work as you grow and your needs evolve throughout our time together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I pursued this work because I believe deeply in helping people rediscover themselves during difficult transitions. Supporting clients through loss, anxiety, and life changes has shown me the power of compassionate, individualized care. My passion is helping you find clarity and reconnect with who you are.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you develop coping tools and clarity so you can navigate life's challenges with confidence. We focus on what matters most to you, working together until you feel equipped to move forward on your own. Therapy is about supporting you for exactly as long as you need.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about your concerns, goals, and what you need most right now. My intention is to create a comfortable space where you feel heard and supported from the very start.
