Getting to know Ayaka Omoto

Welcome! I'm an NYC-based therapist specializing in supporting clients who struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-criticism. Many of my clients - often high-achievers - experience depression, anxiety, or burnout from constantly prioritizing others, whether in work, school, relationships, or family. It’s a journey that challenges them to set healthy boundaries, embrace imperfection, and step into a more authentic life. My hope is to support you in doing the same by helping you honor your own wants and needs, cultivate self-compassion, and create a life aligned with your values rather than outside expectations.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, collaborative, and paced by you - I'll never push you faster than feels right. Sessions are a mix of conversation, skill-building, and body-based work depending on what you need. I believe healing happens in relationship, so building trust and safety between us comes first. You won't be handed a worksheet and sent on your way — we'll work together to understand the deeper patterns keeping you stuck, and gently start to shift them.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We'll start with a few sessions to explore what's brought you to therapy, your history, and what you're hoping for. From there, we'll collaboratively set goals and build a treatment plan tailored to you. Sessions typically weave together talk therapy, EMDR, and somatic or mindfulness practices - the balance shifts depending on where you are in the process and what feels most helpful.
