Mitchell Hirano, LMFT
About me
As a licensed therapist in Utah with over three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique journey. I have extensive expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and grief counseling.
My practice centers on helping clients navigate profound personal transformations, including healing from past wounds, rebuilding self-worth, and developing healthier communication patterns. I'm particularly committed to supporting men, young adults, and individuals experiencing workplace stress, family transitions, and interpersonal challenges.
Drawing from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive framework, I create a safe, affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences, confront difficult emotions, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My goal is to empower you to develop resilience, self-understanding, and sustainable strategies for emotional well-being.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mitchell Hirano. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
He listens and understands. He asks questions and responds and even gives advice from his own experiences as examples. He’s easy to talk to and friendly.
