Mitsue Nakagaki Karaman(She/Her/Hers)

Mitsue Karaman is a licensed psychotherapist offering culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy for multicultural individuals, professionals, and couples in California and New Hampshire.

Many of her clients are thoughtful and self-aware, yet find themselves holding a great deal—managing expectations, navigating complex identities, and continuing to move forward even when something feels off. Over time, this can present as burnout, emotional fatigue, or a sense of disconnection from oneself or from important relationships.

At the heart of her practice is a deep respect for the unique experiences that have shaped each person, and her approach is guided by how her clients move through the world. Her work is shaped by her multicultural upbringing as a third culture kid, her Japanese heritage, and her experience as an immigrant Asian American. She also brings over two decades of experience in global corporate and tech environments, informing her understanding of the pressures many professionals navigate.

Her approach is integrative and trauma-informed, incorporating somatic, relational, and experiential modalities, including EMDR and PACT when appropriate. Therapy is collaborative and paced with care, with attention to both internal experience and the broader cultural and relational contexts that shape it.

She offers telehealth sessions in English and Japanese.
