Getting to know Makoto Wakamori

I’m Makoto Wakamori, a licensed counselor who understands how hard life’s challenges can feel—whether it’s depression, stress, or struggles with self-acceptance. I believe healing begins when you recognize your unique worth and infinite value—not as just another face in the crowd, but as someone deeply known and loved by God. If you prefer, I can gently integrate Christian perspectives into our work, helping you find hope and meaning rooted in that truth. Together, we’ll explore ways to overcome loneliness, manage stress, and build a stronger sense of peace and purpose in your life. Specialties: Depression, Self-Acceptance, Stress Management, Loneliness, Immigrant & Cross-cultural Counseling, Trauma, and Christian Counseling (when requested).

What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide a safe, respectful space where we work together at your pace. I tailor sessions to your needs, honoring your values—whether secular or faith-based—and support your journey toward healing, hope, and self-acceptance.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We’ll start with an open conversation to understand your story, challenges, and goals. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan using practical strategies. Sessions focus on building insight, coping skills, and self-acceptance to help you move forward with hope and confidence.
