Teru Kanazawa

My communication style

Clients often remark on the fun, interesting, and intriguing aspects of our sessions, saying things like "Wow, I didn't think of that before," "Good question!" "Don't know what I would have done without therapy!" etc. I am interactive, non-judgmental, challenging, and warm at the same time. Clients feel seen, heard, and remembered.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am suited to my profession and engage in it with passion, care, and excitement. In the context of my eventful life, there are few issues that clients come to me with that I am not familiar with to one degree or another. I always find the work interesting and fulfilling.

My goals for you

At the outset of therapy, once an understanding has been reached as to what the client wants to accomplish, we set short-term and long-term goals. I assign homework, and a review of the homework is made in each session to keep our "eyes on the ball."

Our first session

First sessions include a meaningful explanation of why the client(s) is seeking therapy, what they hope to accomplish, what experience(s) they have had with therapy, and the pros and cons.
