Howdy! I am Kira Tadehara, an enthusiastic and determined licensed clinical social worker. I have a background in mutual aid, social work, glitter, and growth. I love working with teens, young adults, adults, and families. Life can be tricky and beautifully messy, or sometimes debilitating. If you are chronically suicidal, often finding yourself in crisis, or feeling overwhelmed with the waves of being, we can work on creating a better understanding of self together.
Connection is one of our best tools for healing and growth, and I rely on building rapport and a strong relationship in and out of session. I care deeply for my clients and community, and will work with you to get more connected and engaged with yourself and the things that matter to you. We will be using solution focused brief therapy, humor, genuine interest, and person-based therapy, with a sprinkle of DBT and trauma-focused CBT skills, to make therapy fun and slightly challenging.
I want you to be able to come home to yourself without fear. We will work on gaining tools and skills to make your life and your mental health easier to navigate, without shame. If nothing else, I want you to be able to hold space with your pain and pleasure.
