Clinician

MASA SATO ED.D, LMFT,LPCC,LADC,RPT,C-EMDR,ADHD-CCtP,CCATP,CASDCS

Masa is originally from Japan, so he speaks English and Japanese. He came to the US in 1995. He has been working in mental health and addiction field since 1998 in a variety of settings such as hospital, treatment centers, and outpatient clinics. 

       His approach is laid back and utilizes sense of humor and everyday language. He adjusts and integrates different therapeutic modalities holistically. He is supportive while he encourages clients for growth. He is aware that it is difficult to change while it is often required to make changes for individual and family wellness. He can be direct with so called “tough love” while he is collaborative. He believes that recovery in MH/addiction/family issues requires growth, maturity, and accountability of the person who wants to get better. 

       He is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC), licensed drug and alcohol counselor (LADC), certified EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapist, certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) level 1 & 2, certified clinical anxiety treatment professional (CCATP), certified autism spectrum disorder clinical specialist (CASDCS), ADHD-certified clinical service provider (CCSP), and registered play therapist (RPT). He utilizes animal assisted psychotherapy (AAP) when appropriate.

       He received Ed.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from MSU Mankato, MS in Counseling from SCSU, BS in Applied Psychology from SCSU, and BE in IC from SU.

       He worked in different settings such as hospital, residential treatment, clinics, and universities, but there were a lot of restrictions, obstacles, and interferences to the provision of clinical services. This led to his current private practice.
