Mihoko Taniguchi, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mihoko!

Seeking help takes courage and I am here to provide a safe, welcoming space that encourages healing and positive change. I work with individuals and families dealing with anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, and disruptive behavior or parenting concerns.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, families, and teens. My specialties include ADHD, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, eating disorders, family conflict, grief, OCD, parenting issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, and autism spectrum disorders.

My approach

I use a variety of techniques depending on your needs, including DBT, EMDR, CBT, trauma-focused CBT, and motivational interviewing. My therapeutic approach aims to meet you where you are and develop a personalized plan to help you reach your goals.

My communication style

I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and validated. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I believe in working as a team to identify challenges, set goals, and make meaningful progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in mental healthcare began with a passion for helping others navigate life's challenges. This diverse experience solidified my commitment to supporting children and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the tools and self-awareness needed to lead a more fulfilling, balanced life. Whether you are struggling with a specific concern or simply feeling stuck, I am here to provide guidance, support your personal growth, and help you build resilience.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and collaboratively identify your goals. I will ask questions to better understand your unique experiences, strengths, and areas where you would like to see change. You can expect a warm, non-judgmental space where your voice is valued.
