Kaori Hida

Hi there, I’m Kaori! I’m a Master of Social Work student at Columbia University with roots in Japan and Thailand. My background has shaped how I connect with people navigating life transitions, anxiety, multicultural identities, and the complexities that come with change.

In therapy, I offer a calm and supportive space where you can be yourself, free from pressure or judgment. I bring warmth, empathy, and, when it feels right, a bit of light-hearted humor to help make the process feel more human and natural.

My goal is to support you in exploring what’s going on in your life, building on your strengths, and moving toward the changes that feel most meaningful to you.
