About me

Hi, my name is Mat Kaneshiro. I am a dual-licensed marriage and family therapist working in Florida and Hawaii. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management or relationships then consider scheduling with me. I have extensive experience working in mental health. I’ve worked in the community, home visits, homeless or crisis shelters, substance abuse treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, incarceration and any other setting. I have also worked with behavioral health organizations, leading teams and managing programs. My clients grow or heal by addressing emotions, reducing anxious thoughts and feelings in their bodies. Working through relationship issues through communication, conflict resolution and other factors that shape our experience. In trauma work, I find EMDR ( eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to be the most powerful therapy to heal core issues.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a good way to learn a little about each other. I want to know what brings you to therapy and why now. Often clients tell me that our first session was positive, find it easy to share and open up. I find that through conversation we can cover a lot of ground and see if this is a therapeutic good fit.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have a diverse experience and have worked with people with every diagnosis there is. I don't get overwhelmed so that provides clients the freedom to share anything. I continue to develop my skills in EMDR, this will be a therapy I want to pursue and hone.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are looking to heal from unhealthy family dynamics, abuse, neglect or trauma.
