Hello, I'm Makoto Ikegami, a therapist who helps people who have been through really tough times. I have a lot of experience with things like trauma, feeling really down, and struggling with addictive behaviors. I work with each person to give them the support and tools they need to feel better and live a happier life. My aim is to create a caring and understanding environment where you can talk about what's been hard for you and take steps towards a better, more satisfying life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, clients can expect a friendly and comfortable environment where they can talk about their stories, concerns, and goals. We'll talk about privacy, how therapy works, and any worries they might have. I'll ask some questions to understand their needs better, and together, we'll start planning their treatment. By the end of the session, clients will have a clearer idea of what comes next and hopefully feel hopeful and empowered as we start this journey together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my caring approach, commitment to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients, and ability to customize therapy to meet their specific needs. I have a deep understanding of difficult experiences, feeling really down, and struggling with addictive behaviors, allowing me to offer specialized support and strategies for healing and growth. Additionally, my dedication to ongoing learning and professional development ensures that I am always using the best techniques to help my clients.
