Kyoko Green

Hi, I’m Kyoko (pronounced Ke-o-ko) and yes, I know my name may take a couple of tries! I believe therapy should be a space where you can be your whole, imperfect, wonderfully complicated self. I’m not the therapist who believes you have to sit on a couch while I wear a suit and nod seriously at everything you say. In fact, you probably won’t catch me wearing one. I believe therapy should be a space where you can be your whole, imperfect, wonderfully complicated self. With over 11 years of experience, including years as a school counselor working with teenagers navigating some of the biggest transitions of their lives, I've learned that healing doesn't have to feel heavy to be real. That's the philosophy behind Konfetti & Spaghetti Therapy — because life can feel like confetti sometimes, beautiful and worth celebrating. And sometimes, like a completely tangled bowl of spaghetti. My job isn't to judge the mess; it's to help you untangle it.

I believe therapy should feel like a partnership. My approach is warm, collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each person's unique needs and experiences. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you better understand yourself, identify patterns, and create meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.

I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, and trauma-informed care, while meeting you where you are emotionally. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck, identify practical tools to navigate life's challenges, and build on the strengths you already possess.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, or simply trying to better understand yourself, we'll work toward building confidence, developing healthy coping strategies, and creating lasting, meaningful change. Therapy isn't about having all the answers, it's about discovering them together, one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you. And yes, there can be laughter along the way.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to work on, and what has been going on in your world. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, strengths, and current challenges, but there is no pressure to have everything figured out or share everything at once.

We'll also talk about what you can expect from therapy and begin identifying goals that feel meaningful to you. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and maybe even a little lighter. And if we can laugh a little along the way, even better!
