Mayumi Nakamura, Psy.D
Behavioral Health Associates
My clinical work has focused on providing service for adult and adolescent with special emphasis on behavioral medicine, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and Cognitive Behavioral Approach. When I work with clients, I create an environment where you can find your strengths and help my clients define a sense of self. My view of a successful therapy is helping you to find alternative healthy coping skills and help you to gain a sense of self-worth.
