Getting to know Kanna Uehara

Hi there, I'm Kanna! Seeking help for mental health is a brave, positive, and huge step to take, as it can be associated with stigma. I'm here to recognize your strength in taking this step for yourself and ensure that it is meaningful to you. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illnesses/health-related stress, and caregiver burnout. I provide individual therapy with a warm, client-centered approach as well as cultural sensitivity, as each client is different with their own background, history, and issues. I'm here to listen to you, empower you, and support you in your therapeutic journey, starting where you are and ensuring that you feel safe, comfortable, respected, and supported in a therapeutic relationship. Additionally, I offer individual therapy in fluent Japanese as well. My approach Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions with a strength-based approach, I help you recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. This process helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and build adequate coping and adjustment. I also use Person-Centered Therapy, which is a non-directive form of talk therapy. This approach establishes a therapeutic relationship of empathy and acceptance with you in a safe, supportive environment. Tailoring to your needs and progress, I may practice Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Crisis Interventions. I also offer Case Management support when that is needed or helpful for your needs and goals. We will work together as a team to help you move toward personal growth and positive change. Additionally, I provide therapy in fluent Japanese, with a Japanese cultural background and cultural competency. My focus I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief. I also work with individuals experiencing chronic illnesses and health-related stress, as well as caregiver burnout.
