Sasha Matsusaka
Associate Professional Clinical Counselor
- Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC)
- Supervised by Dr. Wendy Boring-Bray, DBH, LPCC
- Trauma-informed & mindfulness-based
- Affirming, compassionate care
I support parents, teens, young adults, and neurodivergent individuals and couples with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for each person's unique experience. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all advice or telling you how to live your life. My role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore who you are, understand your challenges, and move forward in ways that feel authentic to you.
Supporting Parents & Families
Parenting doesn't come with a manual, especially when your child is navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, identity exploration (including gender and sexuality), or when familiar strategies suddenly stop working. You may feel overwhelmed, judged, or unsure about how best to support them while also caring for yourself.
- Understand your child and yourself without judgment
- Strengthen communication and connection
- Navigate school systems and resources
- Process your own worries or grief
You don't have to be a perfect parent. You just need a space to show up honestly and explore what comes next.
Supporting Teens & Young Adults
Who am I? What do I want? Where do I belong? These questions can feel especially heavy during the teen years and into young adulthood. Many are navigating the complexities of multicultural identities, LGBTQ+ experiences, family expectations, and finding a sense of belonging in a rapidly changing world.
- Explore who you are becoming in a compassionate, non-judgmental space
- Unpack pressures and navigate life transitions (college, careers, relationships, independence)
- Process identity and belonging
- Define success and fulfillment on your own terms
You don't have to have it all figured out to begin. Therapy is a place to be curious, honest, and supported as you discover what matters most to you.
Supporting Neurodivergent Adults & Couples
Many adults are recognizing how ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergence has shaped their lives, sometimes after years of masking, burnout, or feeling "different." These differences bring real strengths but can also create challenges in work, daily life, self-worth, and relationships.
- For individuals: self-understanding, recovering from masking, executive functioning strategies, and building self-compassion
- For couples: understanding each other's neurotypes and improving communication around directness, sensory needs, and emotional processing
- Reducing recurring misunderstandings
- Building a relationship that works for both different brain styles
My goal is to reduce shame and help you — and your partnership — thrive by honoring how you're wired.
Wherever you are in your journey, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and respect. I'd love to connect and see if we might be a good fit.
