My passion for mental health stems from my recovery story. I fell in love with the people and organizations that helped me. And, when I starting helping others on the path of personal growth, I knew what I was put on this planet to do. So, I got out of the job I hated to pursue a Master's Degree in Social Work at USC. My approach to psychotherapy focuses on learning about the journey my clients have experienced. Followed by a solution-focused orientation that encourages forward progress and goal achievement. I believe that with love, support, and honesty anything is possible.

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.

Much like the uniqueness of a fingerprint, I believe every person’s experiences, challenges, and perspectives are one-of-a-kind. My goal as a counselor is to learn about each client’s life story and customize treatment to meet their individual needs. Common themes within my counseling room include identification and connection with core values, personal empowerment, enhancement of hope for the future, and learning how to accept and work with negative thoughts and feelings. Above all else, my personal maxim as a counselor is to be a good listener and help my clients feel comfortable while discussing uncomfortable topics.

I am deeply convinced that we all suffer from the same human condition. We all have an internal voice that is at times worried, critical, and even hopeless. My therapeutic approach involves acknowledging and working with these parts of ourselves, rather than silencing or eliminating them. I specialize in treating professionals (e.g., individuals in medicine, law, tech), and I have comfort working with anxiety, depression, PTSD and general life stress. I also have extensive experience working with racial and sexual minorities. I help people learn to sit with their feelings, develop self-compassion, and build healthy habits.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
