I’ve been where you are.

Steve Kobashigawa, MA, LMFT

My name is Steve Kobashigawa. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Pasadena, California — and I've been in recovery from gambling, drug, and alcohol addiction for over twenty years. That's not a detail I tuck into a footnote. It's the most important thing I can tell you about who I am and how I work.

Therapy that’s collaborative

I don't see you as a diagnosis or a case file. I see you as a full person — someone with a family, a history, and a future worth fighting for. My job isn't to tell you what to do. It's to work alongside you, help you understand what's driving your behavior, and build the practical tools and self-awareness to change it.

We may only meet once a week, but I'm thinking about your progress between sessions. I hold space for you to be completely honest — even about the things you've never said out loud.

Serving clients in Los Angeles, Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, and throughout California via telehealth.
