Yusuke Ninomiya, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Yusuke!

I use techniques from CBT, IPT, DBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing. My focus is strength-based, and I treat every client as a unique person, though they may share the same diagnosis, such as depression and anxiety.

My focus

Based on my experience, I have found that my approach and style are a good fit for individuals from 18 to 40, mainly.

My approach

The therapeutic approaches I utilize include CBT, IPT, DBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing to support your growth and healing.

My communication style

I am flexible and friendly, and use a very casual manner.

My journey to mental healthcare

Feeling that I can actually connect and help someone in need is very powerful and rewarding. I believe that everyone deserves a life worth living, so I would like to help them to find a way out.

My goals for you

Therapy will not continue forever, so I like to set SMART Goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely).

Our first session

Self-disclosure is challenging, and people would be fearful to be judged or embarrassed. There are no successful or anticipated outcomes from the beginning, so just self-validate that you will step forward and decided to have a therapy session. I will help you to make it through just fine.
