Hello, my name is Michael Yadao-Evans, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from the state of Hawaii. My approach to therapy is very collaborative because I think change is a process we all go through together. I have worked mostly with children from infants to high school, neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Autism), and various substance abuse disorders. This provider resides in Hawaii.
My main inspiration for therapy is a woman named Virginia Satir. She was called the "Mother of Family Therapy" and had a very patient, nurturing style. I fall under what is called the humanistic or client-centered approach, which tailors therapy to the needs and style of the client. So traditional talk therapy is available, but if expression through other means, such as art, is needed, then I will use that instead.
