Getting stuck in troubling thoughts or painful emotions after experiencing a setback is part of the natural human experience. While some of us are resilient enough to adapt and skillfully navigate adversities in life, most of us find it quite challenging to let go of familiar ways of thinking and behaving that are holding us back. Recognizing the need to change is a sign of maturity and provides an opportunity to grow at any stage of our lives. I hope you are ready to let go of what is no longer serving you and embark on a personal journey toward the actualization of your full potential and well-being. My holistic, person-centered treatment approach is grounded in the belief that psychotherapy is about unlearning outdated habits and learning new ways to be kind to one's self through the cultivation of self-compassion. I’m here to help you acquire the essential mental skills of mindfulness to manage stress/anxiety better and gain a new perspective in life. My name is Wataru Okada and I have been helping adults of all ages (18+) on their paths to self-actualization, primarily based on the principles of mindful insight (metacognition) and neural integration that are essential for genuine self-compassion. Please refer to my website resources (www.okadalink.com) and find out if I’m the right therapist for you.
