Getting to know Afumi Saito

Hi there, I'm Afumi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working with clients statewide in California. I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology and a Master's in Clinical Psychology from California Baptist University. I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use, and relationship issues among family members. My approach is grounded in client-centered therapy, and I have extensive experience providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) interventions. My approach I use an integrative theoretical approach to develop personalized treatment plans for each client I work with. I frequently use ACT and a solution-focused approach, as it allows me to collaborate with clients and focus on goals in a short-term, utilizing the time spent together effectively. My focus I enjoy working with young adults and parents who face life challenges and may be feeling stuck or lost. When we enter a new chapter or season of life, it is best to have support before, during, and after those unfamiliar situations. Challenges in life are inevitable, and it is all about how you respond to them. I assist clients in navigating, building skills, and acknowledging their strengths to develop a balanced and more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is warm, calm, and collaborative. I want my clients to experience acceptance without judgment and feel safe to open up about their thoughts and feelings, being vulnerable.
