Welcome to my therapy practice and thank you for checking out my profile. My name is John Machikawa and I am a licensed therapist offering virtual therapy sessions throughout California. I have a wide range of experience in mental health which includes working in outpatient/inpatient settings for over fifteen years. I became a therapist because I found myself engrossed in psychology classes and enjoyed being a source of support for friends that were going through things . I look forward to working with individuals to hear their stories, challenges, and successes. As a therapist, I help guide individuals to tap into their strengths, reducing emotional strain, and increasing resiliency.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is designed for you to feel comfortable sharing your experiences at your own pace. I'm here to actively listen and gain a deeper understanding of your unique perspective.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I bring a unique blend of empathy and active listening to our sessions. My strengths lie in creating a safe and supportive space for exploration, where you can freely express yourself and delve into the depths of your thoughts and emotions. I'm committed to promoting self-awareness, resilience, and insight.
