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 and reducing anxious thoughts and feelings in their bodies. Working through relationship issues through communication, conflict resolution and other factors that shape who we are. In trauma work, I find EMDR ( eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to be the most powerful therapy to heal core issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I am easy to speak with and help clients feel comfortable. I am nonjudgemental and often have a calming effect on people. I like to understand where clients are and explore where healing and growth can occur.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
