Sean Kitaoka

The best predictor of a positive outcome in psychotherapy is a strong therapeutic alliance. As such, my work with clients centers on developing a shared understanding of your experience, a focus on the goals and issues that are most central to you, and approaching these conversations in ways that are congruent for you. In the context of a supportive working alliance, we create space for genuine reflection on those aspects of our lives that we would like to change and those aspects that we would like to accept. I draw from strengths-based and solution-oriented models, am respectful of client preferences, and will seek feedback to help tailor our work together.
