Anna Nakamura

I like to make people feel safe, heard, validated, and better. You might be needing alternative thoughts to have less anxiety at work or quick tools for emotional regulation at home with your children, but I would like to take time and explore your past so that you can understand why your mind and body are reacting the way they are now. Self-awareness and mindfulness can be a powerful catalysis for your growth. I practice under cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) framework. I am a Gottman Level 1 trained therapist and certified with Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavior Therapy. These therapy frameworks will help you identify obstacles to accept yourself, be compassionate to yourself, create meaningful connections, and grow as a person. I welcome you to my counseling space with empathy and compassion for your cultural background and past experiences. I love working with people from all walks of life, learning from everyone's stories and experiences. I have three years of experience with clients facing depression, anxiety, Trauma, ADHD, PTSD, loss & grief, relationship issues, and parenting issues. I work well with workers experiencing burn out, women dealing with relationship and attachment issues, adults with anxiety, ADHD and PTSD, and teens with anxiety and school avoidance. I am bilingual in Japanese and English. ＝経歴＝ 慶應大学を卒業後、横浜市教育員会に勤務。結婚を機に渡米し、トヨタ北米研究所勤務。ミシガン州からワシントン州へ引っ越し後、５年間子育てに専念。その後、現地校での補助教員として勤務、先生・生徒への支援を経験。オレゴン州立大学院在学中、ウェルネスカウンセリング・現地中学校にて、カウンセリング研修を実施。卒業後、結カウンセリング設立。 ワシントン州メンタルヘルスアソシエイトライセンス（LMHCA）、全米カウンセリング協会認定資格（NCC）保持。全米カウンセリング協会（ACC）所属。マウリーン・ケーン（LMHC, 著者・スピーカー・スーパーバイザー）に師事 日本語で気軽にご相談くださいね
