Welcome to Sakura Counseling. The cherry blossom is the symbol of our journey together as we explore the fragility and beauty of life.
Sakura was founded to inspire healing without stigmatization, letting go of unproductive narratives that have been placed on you by society, friends, family, romantic relationships, systems, or even yourself. Sakura believes in helping you to let go of all the chains that keep you from thriving.
Our clinicians believe in the power of healing, but they also bring in shared identities where a safe place can truly be built. Building community is one of our essential beliefs but a community needs diversity to truly survive and thrive.
We hope one of us can be your guide. It cannot happen without you.
