Welcome and thank you for taking the time to explore my website!
Life can bring challenges that are hard to navigate alone. I’m Amiko Hiraiwa Riley, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in NW Portland, OR, here to offer compassionate, non-judgmental support tailored to your unique journey.
I believe our well-being is deeply connected to the quality of our relationships—with ourselves, our loved ones, and the communities we belong to. That’s why I specialize in individual and couples therapy, helping you explore and heal the patterns that impact your emotional health and connection.
Having lived in multiple countries, I bring a cross-cultural perspective to therapy, understanding how culture, identity, and family shape your experiences. I’m a trauma-informed therapist and currently completing training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a research-backed approach that helps people feel calmer, less stuck, and more at ease after difficult experiences. It can be especially helpful for reducing anxiety, stress, and old patterns that no longer serve you
In our work together, you can expect a warm, collaborative space where your story is heard with empathy and respect. Therapy is a partnership focused on helping you gain clarity, heal old wounds, and develop practical tools that fit your life.
Choosing the right therapist is an important step, and I want you to feel confident we’re the right fit. That’s why I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to answer your questions and explore your goals.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, I’d be honored to support you on your path to a healthier, happier life.
