April Kihara

My communication style

I am collaborative, engaged, and actively involved in co-creating solutions with you to whatever has led to your life challenges. The sessions tend to be structured around learning these strategies and working through barriers to change, using the model best suited to your needs.

My goals for you

I believe in a thorough assessment of each person's life situation and the collaborative development of goals. I typically see clients for 3-6 months, at which point most are doing much better, and we transition to check-in sessions when they are needed.

Our first session

During the first session, for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, depending on the specific person and situation, I may use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and teach coping skills. For stress and life transition challenges, I typically use solution-focused therapy. For couples therapy, I use the acclaimed Gottman Method.
