Asae Kondo, LMFT

Do you find yourself putting others' needs before your own? Do you struggle to ask for what you want and maintain healthy boundaries? This can be so painful and leave you feeling lonely, resentful, or just burnt out. My goal is to help you get to a place where you take pride in the way you set and honor your boundaries. No one wants to be talked at or talked down to. I'm not going to talk your ear off and I'm not going to mansplain your nervous system to you. I will listen, we will talk through things, I will gently challenge the way you look at things, there may be tears, and there will definitely be laughter. I am deeply committed to working with warmth, humor, authenticity, and an anti-oppressive framework. I enjoy working with individuals and couples of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender expressions. I especially like working with queer, POC, and multi-ethnic individuals, and non-traditional or poly-questioning couples. My understanding of the world is influenced by my experiences as a queer, mixed-race (Japanese/white) therapist. Everyone deserves a space to fully let go, break down, take up space, and connect. Reach out when you are ready. Let's talk.
