Getting to know Daniel Nishina

Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oregon (C7318). I received my undergraduate degree from University of California at Berkeley in Psychology and my graduate degree from University of Colorado at Denver in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education. I first became an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado. My training and practical experience has been eclectic, touching on approaches including humanistic (relation- centered), action-centered, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and somatic. I also include in my grasp of any client appreciation for their family, social-cultural, and socioeconomic context. More recently my focus includes some emphasis on the impact of trauma. I have lived in Japan for 14 years of my adult life, as well as spent 30+ pursuing the practice of aikido, a Japanese martial art.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Every person has the natural capacity and tendency to heal and return to a healthy equilibrium. A person considering counseling is already making the first step of exercising that tendency. I believe that “loosening up” and releasing the many things we hold, particularly unconsciously, allow us to activate that capacity and return to, or discover, a healthier state of being. Top-down, this would involve uncovering our various thought patterns, reactions, and story that we have about ourselves. Bottom-up, it involves noticing and feeling - the various ways our body is in relation to how we are mentally. I hope to cultivate a relationship with each client to embody trust, safety, inquiry, and honesty, so that healing change can start in the therapy room and extend into one’s life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

"Notice". This experience is such a crucial starting point for clients that I strive to help clients reach that noticing depending what they are already close to and also what my intuition senses is important. From there, we touch upon the specific actions and changes to enact. Something to know about my approach is, “Loosening up” and releasing the many things we hold, particularly unconsciously, allow us to activate our capacity and return to a healthier state of being. Top-down, uncovering thought patterns, reactions, and story. Bottom-up, noticing and feeling in the mind and body. We are here to help each other, and making things better, healing, knowing ourselves, gaining control of ourselves are how we find happiness and ease I strive to be useful to my clients. This may mean meeting with the intention of few sessions or a longer time. I revisit occasionally where we are, as change happens, and what focus or method is most useful or appropriate.
