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.

Many people experience anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. Often, they feel there is no one to trust and no one who can understand them. The impact of this emotional suffering can make daily life painful. It can put strain on relationships with family, friends, and peers. I specialize in working with individuals and have found that there are similar challenges that we all face while trying to navigate through our daily lives. Typically the client's that I work with have not been feeling like themselves for a while and this has led to struggles with their loved ones.

My philosophy is change starts from the inside out with a choice and realization that it is for our higher good. As part of the human experience, there are times when unexpected losses, betrayals or traumatic events can leave us feeling alone with a host of negative emotions, feeling stuck in grief, anger, bitterness, anxiety and depression.
