Mr Tatsuya Arakawa

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Specialized in adolescents, adult with depression and/or anxiety, adult child of toxic parents, adult neurodivergent (especially ASD), sports injury. Japanese speaking.”

About Me

I support adolescents and adults navigating depression, anxiety, and the lasting impact of toxic family dynamics. My practice also welcomes neurodivergent adults, especially those with ASD, and individuals healing from sports injuries. As an LMFT, I create a safe, understanding space to explore your experiences and build practical coping strategies. I aim to help you gain clarity and strengthen your resilience. Sessions are available in English and Japanese.

Approach

Helping teens and adults move through low mood, persistent worry, neurodiverse differences and sports setbacks shapes how I work. In my Torrance office or online—offered in English or Japanese—sessions are paced to your rhythm: focused check-ins, practical skill-building, and small experiments to try between meetings. I partner with families or coaches when useful, adapt communication for clients with ASD, and keep goals concrete so change feels trackable. This way of working fits people who want clear tools and steady support.
