Therapists in Blasdell, NY

Hello. My name is Kanako Okuda. I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York and Pennsylvania with over 20 years of experience helping individuals from various walks of life. I earned my Doctorate of Social Work from Rutgers School of Social Work and a Master’s Degree from Columbia University. I have worked with parents of children with life-challenging diseases and adults of all ages. I have also helped them successfully manage major life transitions, chronic health conditions, coping with educational anxiety, and dealing with work challenges. One of my specialties is in managing educational anxiety. I have several years of experience counseling students through their college careers, as well as offering counseling to professionals regarding work-related issues. I've provided counseling at schools, in the home environment, in hospitals, and through web-based platforms. The premise of my work is based on positive psychology. I want to help you cultivate the best parts of you to enhance the areas of your life that you may feel the need to change. I believe that we all have the innate potential to achieve a meaningful life. My role is to help you identify the strengths and resources you already have by recognizing your fears and insecurities through our work together. It is important to work collaboratively to accomplish the most meaningful results, and you will find my approach genuine and supportive. I look forward to collaborating with you to help you discover your best self.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my page. Life is complex, unpredictable, and challenging. This can result in a lot of stress, fear, and heartbreak; but it can also bring joy, beauty, and positive change. I have over ten years' experience working with people who are dealing with many of life's challenges, and it has been my privilege to assist them in finding their way from the first group of experiences to the second. I believe that people are inherently whole as they are, and that problems such as depression and anxiety happen to us, rather than being a part of who we are. My expertise is in the areas of couple relationships, LGBTQ+ clients, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. In therapy, my approach is collaborative, strength-focused, non-judgmental, and compassionate. I do not believe in using stigmatizing labels to describe my clients, but if you have a diagnosis that is helpful for you in making sense of your situation, I will always respect that. I believe that you are the expert on your life, while I am the expert on therapeutic techniques to help you with your life. I use a primarily systemic, narrative approach, with some elements of cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapies in my work. Together, we will create a customized plan to address the problems you are dealing with and clear the path to your best life. It takes courage to seek change in your life, and I respect my clients for taking this important step. I look forward to working with you as you regain a sense of yourself and come to a place of empowerment.

Welcome, I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with 15 years of experience working with adults suffering with a variety of barriers that prevent them from living their lives fully. I have worked with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, compromised self esteem, major life changes as well as, physical and emotional abuse. I believe the establishment of a strong trusting relationship is the essential first step in the therapy process. Having that relationship allows both therapist and client to examine the client's life experiences and challenges, as a unique story, told by the client; to be addressed in an unconditional, safe and compassionate setting. It is, after all, the client's story and it is a privilege for the therapist to be allowed to walk there. My therapy style is Client Centered and Trauma Informed and includes modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, (DBT), Existential Therapy and Trauma Focused Therapy. I think the value of mental health therapy is still greatly misunderstood in our society today and that making the decision to pursue help in this way is a statement of courage and commitment. If you think I can be of service to you, as you work to improve the fullness and quality of your life, I would love to hear from you.
