Brent (Tohi) Tohiariki

Psychotherapist

I welcome people from all walks of life. All parts of who you are welcome here. You are stuck not broken, so I am not here to fix you. You are simply doing the best you can with what you know.

My online psychotherapy practice combines top-down and bottom-up approaches to foster deep, lasting change. Whether its mind, body or spirit, I’m here to support your journey. Together, we’ll work toward finding emotional clarity, accessing your resilience, and renewing your sense of Self, so you can move beyond what’s holding you back. Healing is a journey, and I’m here to help you take those first steps in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental way. Together, we’ll address whatever you bring, in a way that honors your full human experience.

“Unless you make the unconscious, conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate” – Carl Jung
