Getting to know Yayoi Nakamura

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Redmond, Washington, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oregon State University. I work well with young adults and specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, depression, life transitions, grief, ADHD, and work-related stress. My approach I practice using cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and EMDR frameworks. I am a Gottman Level 1 and EMDR-trained therapist and certified in Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavior Therapy. These frameworks help you identify obstacles to self-acceptance, cultivate self-compassion, create meaningful connections, and grow as a person. My focus I work well with women dealing with relationship and attachment issues, teens and adults with ADHD, tech and healthcare workers experiencing burnout, and teens and adults with PTSD. My communication style I listen carefully and ask what clients need from therapy. Some find gentle nudges and homework helpful, while others need a safe space to process emotions. My journey to mental healthcare Like many young adults, I struggled with relationship issues from my parents’ divorce and work pressure, eventually burning out. My healing journey through therapy inspired me to become a therapist to help others learn from their past and write their next chapters. My goals for you When appropriate, I encourage clients to approach goal setting as an experiment. It’s easy to get stuck in unhelpful patterns, so I find brainstorming the smallest, most manageable steps toward meaningful change helpful. My first session with you In our first session, I’ll ask questions to understand you and your experiences, creating a safe and comfortable space to begin working together.
