Sayaka Maas MA, LPC, MAC

My name is Sayaka. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska. I have experience working with military service members and spouses, health care workers, first responders, adults, and adolescents. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings including a U.S. Army hospital, behavioral health hospital, residential care for substance use, outpatient treatment for substance use, and hospital based outpatient behavioral health clinic.

I grew up in Okinawa, Japan and I speak Japanese fluently. After, I lived in Europe for several years, decided to move to Alaska which has been my home for the last 13 years. I provide therapy in both English and Japanese for various clientele.

I believe in the innate capacity that every individual has for healing and transformation. If you are looking for relief from emotional struggles, stress in life, pain, or ways to improve your life, I am happy that you arrived at my site.  Your journey can start wherever and whenever in your life stage.  Each of us has our unique ways to cultivate our own resources and recognize peace within.  

I respect individual differences and similarity, and values in creating a warm, peaceful, and collaborative working relationship.

EMDR and Somatic Approach

Have you ever wondered, why “talking” about your traumatic experiences haven’t brought you the relief you are looking for?

Sayaka can assist your healing process using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. Many of her clients reported achieving healing they have been looking for years with faster result than traditional talking therapy.

EMDR is also used for treatment for anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experience.
