Jill Sumiyasu

I work with adults, adolescents, families and couples. My name is Jill Sumiyasu, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Pasadena, California. Clients may feel overwhelmed or anxious, or may be in the middle of a major life transition.

I adapt each session to what the client needs, and I draw on four approaches. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works with practical skills and actions. Psychodynamic therapy looks at a person’s life history for the roots of what holds them back. Parts Work helps clients make sense of the parts of themselves and integrate them. Mindfulness encourages staying present and noticing experiences without judgment.

I help clients notice what is going on for them at conscious and subconscious levels. I take an active part in sessions and leave choices to clients. My style is affirming, holistic and open-minded.
