Welcome! I work with families and individuals that are stuck and ready for change. Therapy is a great place to open up, be understood, and pursue change. I've been in the mental health field most of my adult life and value the process every day. It includes honest feedback, improved self-awareness, an inventory of the parts of our life that we want to keep and those that we will adjust. If you're ready to work through the challenges, I'd like to help!

Hello! My name is Dr. David Hirohama. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. My approach to therapy is client-centered and empathic. Tell me your life story and I will design a personalized treatment plan that takes into consideration all the major people and events in your life that have influenced and led you to the present day. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful and unhealthy patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior. Figuring out what these patterns are, and becoming skilled at catching them as they occur, is the key to positive change and mental and emotional health.

I provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to share and feel heard. Every client has his or her unique way of relating to others and learning, which impacts what kind of therapy, will be effective. I come alongside my clients to explore, encourage, and support them in the therapeutic process while developing skills to take with them as they continue on their own personal journey. I utilize different theoretical concepts including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance/Commitment (ACT) Solution Focus and Play/Art therapies, while consistently viewing clients through the lens of developmental stages and attachment styles.
