Hiroko Hirata

I am a bilingual therapist offering therapy in Japanese and English for individuals and couples. I specialize in trauma and relationship-focused work, using a somatic approach to help clients feel more grounded, connected, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges. I bring a multicultural lens to my work with clients from diverse backgrounds. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship challenges. I offer a supportive space to slow down, make sense of these experiences, and find greater clarity and connection. I am currently accepting new clients.

I draw from Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and the Gottman Method for couples work. I tailor therapy to each person, integrating somatic (body-centered), mindfulness, and parts-work approaches to support greater emotional balance, connection, and healing.

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you’ll feel truly seen and supported.

Just as we know the sun is there even on a rainy day, what you’re looking for is within you—even when emotional wounds or difficult experiences make it hard to see. My intention is to help you reconnect with what is already within you, so you can move through life with greater ease and aliveness—not just getting through life, but living it fully.
