W e l c o m e

We are Lia Amakawa & Priya Bhanderi. We encourage you to explore this site to see how we work. Beyond specific interventions, we are dedicated to creating an affirming, responsive, and entirely unique relationship with each and every client.

Holistic

We harness a variety of therapeutic approaches to help our clients explore and align multiple dimensions of their experience, including the cognitive, the affective, the somatic and the behavioral.

Experiential

We help our clients learn new ways of coping and relating, in real-time, with us. This is achieved through methods such as imaginal and in-vivo exposure, visualization, mindful breathing, and noticing and modifying moment-to-moment experience.

Relational

We actively and collaboratively create safety and comfort and assist our clients when obstacles and ruptures occur in session. We bring our full selves to the work, conveying humor, authenticity, expressiveness and care.
