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.

Kaori is one of the best therapists I’ve ever worked with. She’s a great listener and truly try’s to understand how you are feeling. She offers great advice and tactics to help approach tough situations. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!
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! Thanks to her gentle guidance, I have been able to understand certain difficulties and move forward with greater peace of mind. I would highly recommend for anyone seeking quality support.
Kaori is genuinely the best therapist I’ve ever worked with. She absolutely made a huge effort and difference with my therapy. I cannot recommend her enough.
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.
Every session with Kaori felt welcoming and judgement-free. Our discussions gave me so much clarity, and I feel so thankful for all her help. Thank you for everything, Kaori!
Kaori is an active, empathetic listener. She helped me work through personal issues by asking questions that led to further reflection on myself. I can't recommend her enough.
Kaori is an amazing therapist! She's such an attentive listener, and I always leave our sessions feeling understood. Her thoughtful, probing questions always push me to understand myself on a deeper level. I'm grateful for our time together and feel fortunate to have her as my therapist.
Kaori is amazing and I cannot recommend her enough! She is genuinely kind and an incredibly attentive listener. Beyond being a great and calming presence, sessions with her are extremely helpful and supportive in a safe and judgement-free space.
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 the best therapist ever!!!!!
I’ve been to a few therapists over the years and I’m so happy to have finally found Kaori. She’s been so patient and gracious and I’ve felt like I’ve really been able to start progressing over the last couple of months since seeing her. Highly recommend!
Kaori is extremely patient, empathetic, and warm. I was very nervous at first and didn’t know what to expect, and Kaori immediately put me at ease and I felt comfortable being myself. Highly recommend.
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.
