“I have never been been too fond of the therapy idea until I started taking it with Dr. Okada. I decided to choose myself but needed support and guidance on how to navigate through my struggles and experiences and Dr. Okada helped me create that path of healing and growth. Things I‚Äôve never even realized or called out to myself. She is one of the reasons why I am in a better place and am always excited to speak with her. Thank you so much.”

Getting to know Cherie Okada
Hi there, I'm CHERIE!
My name is Dr. Cherie Okada, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles, CA. I earned my PsyD from the Hawaii School of Professional Psychology.
My approach
Trained in evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, and mindfulness approaches, I am dedicated to providing individualized, solution-oriented, and culturally sensitive care. My focus is on promoting well-being, resilience, and helping each client achieve their fullest potential.
My focus
I have a comprehensive background spanning outpatient, community mental health, forensic, school, inpatient psychiatric, in-home, and telehealth settings. With expertise in treating a wide range of complex mental health conditions, I offer both brief and long-term psychotherapy to clients ranging from ages 4 to 80, encompassing diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and clinical backgrounds.
My communication style
I'm here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore and work toward your goals at your own pace. My approach is personalized to support your unique journey, which is dictated by the speed you choose for yourself.
My journey to mental healthcare
There's nothing more satisfying than helping someone grow.
My goals for you
I believe in a collaborative approach that we can determine together in sessions, as often as we see fit.
My first session with you
In the first session, I like to break the ice by quickly introducing myself, communicating transparency about what to expect in sessions, and understanding what brings you to therapy.
