“Michelle has been a blessing during my time of need. Not only does she effectively listen and communicate, she doesn’t assume she is correct about something and really ask questions to get to the root of issues. She even encouraged me to speak to a psychiatrist after wondering if my anxiety issues weren’t just anxiety and I received an adult adhd diagnosis. I always thought the purpose was for medication, which I don’t like, so I had never considered even approaching psychiatry in conjunction with cognitive therapy. Now after two months of learning about it, I have a sense of relief that some of my behaviors I was so hard on myself about aren’t failure but something I need support for. I would have never gone without her support, and kind encouragement in pushing me to find more answers just for peace of mind. I just feel so grateful for Michelle.”

Getting to know Michelle Mihoko Taniguchi
Seeking help takes courage, and I am here to provide a safe, welcoming space that encourages healing and positive change. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist currently licensed in California, Virginia, and Ohio. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from California State University, Fullerton.
For the past 17 years, I have provided individual counseling to children and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. I also work with families facing parenting challenges such as behavioral concerns, ADHD, eating disorders, and family separation.
I use a variety of techniques tailored to your needs, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, and motivational interviewing. I would be honored to meet you and hear your story.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
