A "groundswell" is a long-period group of waves created by a storm system over vast distances. As life imitates nature, we realize that over the course of our existence, our experiences influence who we become and the manner in which we approach the world. Hello! I'm glad you're here. I am Maia Yamasaki, Owner & Founder of Groundswell Wellness. I am a licensed therapist in Oregon, with 20 years of experience helping people of all ages recognize their own internal strengths in order to achieve the happiness, peace and potential that we all deserve in a kind, direct and thoughtful way. As a counselor, I operate from a humanistic point of view; acknowledging the benefit of self-acceptance and the importance of free-will as paramount. I will see the good and powerful in you, and help you see it too. No matter the circumstances of your journey, my goal, through a multi-modal approach, is to assist you in achieving your best personal outcome possible in a non-biased and dignified way. **At this time, I am offering telehealth appointments for private-pay clients located in the State of Oregon and also offer OON billing options. I am working on credentialing with several insurance companies and will update the website accordingly. ***If you are experiencing financial hardship, I offer sliding scale fees.
