Getting to know Chihiro Usami-Melling

Hello, Life can be tough sometimes. Relationships, work-related issues, finances, health, addiction, or life-stage challenges—these are just a few examples. Things can be stressful! As a result, anxiety or depression may start bothering you. How do you overcome these problems? Tips from Google not enough? I’ve been helping people with anxiety and depression for over 14 years. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Hope International University. Unlearning what you have learned is often difficult, so I’m here to share simple tools you can implement in your life—if you’re willing to make some changes. Once you learn how to face obstacles, you can celebrate your life again. I’m looking forward to serving you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is to provide different perspectives to analyze my client’s problem with practical tools they can use outside of sessions. My primary focus in working with clients is to ensure that they feel the agency to make changes in their daily lives, as I feel it is important that they feel empowered to do so.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
