Getting to know Mariko Terachi

My name is Mariko Terachi, a Marriage Family Therapist, with License Number 53237. My goal of therapy is to validate each client's unique quality that can be utilized in understanding the issues to be resolved toward healing process. I help clients replace unhealthy and harmful thoughts with healthy, helpful and more positive accurate thoughts about client events in their experience. Clients can feel more empowered and regain control of their lives. My approach Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach is very effective in treating clients suffering resulting from trauma they experienced. In trauma cases, I use psycho-education, teaching them about the nature of trauma and common reactions to these experiences. I often incorporate teaching skills such as relaxation techniques, focus on breathing, mindfulness, diets and exercises as ways of dealing with anxiety area in clients. I use Solution-Focus Therapy to conduct a thorough assessment, measurable goals are constructed in order to keep therapy structured and focused as well as helping the client to focus on their progress on their journey to healing. My focus Young adult before marriage, but lost their identities in school or career and own lives are my focus. Once they find their purpose in their own lives, and find their Inner Self, they become independent unique individuals. They can reestablish healthier relationships with their own family as well as secure strong bonds with friends by establishing own identity first through therapy. My communication style Unconditional and safe environment during session will give the client and therapist to develop a therapeutic respect for each other to promote continuation of therapy. My journey to therapy Mariko Terachi grew up in Japan in a multigenerational household after World War II era that era lead her to seek for her own voice. By coming to live in the U.S. gave her the opportunity to find concrete steps toward her mission of being a mental health community member
