“Kaori is very attentive, kind, and thoughtful. She creates a truly non-judgmental environment where I can speak my mind freely. You can tell how genuinely curious she is to get to know you and how you think about things, and she is also able to suggest new ways of thinking and processing in a gentle, supportive way. I highly recommend Kaori! ”

Getting to know Kaori Hida
Therapy with me is a space to slow down and show up as you are. We'll explore where your struggles come from and how they've been shaping the life you're trying to build, so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy: understanding how your past experiences and relationships continue to shape your present, so we can get to the root of what's holding you back. I also work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and school or career-related challenges.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I completed my clinical training at Columbia, with a focus on young adults and adolescents. If you are interested in working together, I encourage you to reach out to schedule an initial consultation.

Ms. Hida is very kind and attentive, with a professional and reassuring approach. I really appreciate how she makes me feel listened to with an empathetic ear, a quality that I think is rather hard to find!

Kaori was kind and insightful as I worked through a rough situation. She didn’t rush me as I talked through what was going on and didn’t make me feel as though I was stupid for feeling that way. I’ve seen a lot of therapists in the past, but Kaori definitely ranks high among them. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a new therapist.

i've had white therapists before but they don't have the same lived experiences as I do and it's been so hard to find a therapist in nyc (they all talk way too much.) kaori is a great listener and truly understands what immigrants go through in this country as one herself.

Kaori is an amazing therapist! I’ve tried doing therapy with many people before and she’s the first one I’m comfortable with. She truly cares about her clients’ needs and goals and works with you to achieve them.

Kaori is an incredible therapist. She cares deeply, listens closely, and tailors her techniques based on her client’s needs. Until meeting Kaori, I struggled to find a therapist that understood me and helped me feel heard. Kaori is accessible, approachable, and warm. I always leave my sessions feeling better, and am so, so thankful for her support through my mental health journey and in her help grappling with my identity, culture, and family.
