Matthew Kinoshita, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Matthew!

I specialize in self-actualization. I want you to recognize that you have the tools and strength to develop and manage all your challenges. I am just a guide to help illuminate your journey.

My focus

I work with individuals seeking support for a range of concerns, including career counseling, cultural stress, divorce, life transitions, mood disorders, parenting, peer relationships, relationship issues, self-esteem, sports performance, stress, and substance use.

My approach

My approach to therapy focuses on helping you live well. I will guide you in developing the self-awareness and inner resources needed to navigate life's challenges and actualize your potential.

My communication style

My communication style is direct yet compassionate. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported. Through our work together, I will provide guidance and reflections to help you gain clarity and find your own path forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

After many twists and turns, I now have experience healing the effects of addiction and comorbid mental health disorders. This journey has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit.

My goals for you

My goal for you is to recognize your innate strength and develop the tools to manage any challenge that comes your way. I want to empower you to live authentically and create a life that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Our first session

In our first session, we will explore what brings you to therapy and begin to identify your goals. I will take time to understand your unique experiences and perspectives. Together, we will establish a strong therapeutic alliance and map out a plan tailored to your specific needs.
