Does this sound like you?
You always say “I’m fine”... even though deep down, you feel overwhelmed and anxious.
You’re scared to reach out for help, worried that you’re broken or “crazy.”
You have big reactions that don’t make sense to you. Why do I get so mad when my partner does that?
Your childhood was great and things seem fine on paper… but it feels like a dark cloud is hanging over you. Why can’t I just be happy?
Something meaningful in your life is not working.
You want to feel happier, calmer, and more in control of your life.
I’m glad you’re here.
I’m Jill Sumiyasu, a therapist in Pasadena, California. I help adults, adolescents, families, and couples who are overwhelmed, anxious, or facing a major life transition.

In our work together, you’ll:
understand what’s going on behind your reactions and feelings
have a safe space to talk about what’s happening
gain the skills to improve your relationships
learn to treat yourself with kindness, instead of constantly criticizing or judging yourself
feel like you can handle your life
discover a more solid vision of your future
This work is not about finding the magic button to “fix” you. It’s about putting together a bunch of pieces that can improve your life, bit by bit.
Let’s begin, together.
In therapy, the most important thing is connection.
My clients appreciate that I make them feel heard. They describe me as present and calm.
As a therapist, I don’t just sit back and nod, and I won’t tell you what to do.
I will help you:
feel that it’s okay to bring your full self into the room
see what is going on for you, both in the conscious and subconscious
make decisions that lead to a life you genuinely enjoy living
You won’t have to worry about overwhelming me. I am here for you. All your feelings are welcome – grief, fear, anger, sadness, and more.
You are welcome here.
Therapy with me is…
Whenever you’re ready, here’s how I can support you.
