A practice built around the pause.
Ma is a small practice by choice. A limited caseload is what makes the unhurried session possible, and the unhurried session is the whole method.
I am Dr. Hana Mori, LCSW, and I have spent my life studying the art of listening.
I trained clinically in New York and spent two years studying Morita Therapy at the Jikei University School of Medicine in Tokyo. What I found there changed how I understood not just therapy, but what it means to be human.
I don’t believe in the hurried session, the checkbox, or the performance of wellness. I believe in stillness, in honest witnessing, and in the Japanese understanding that nature — including human nature — already knows how to heal. We simply need to stop interrupting it.

Client reflections
I came in wanting to be fixed. I left understanding that I was never broken. The Naikan sessions were the most confronting — and the most freeing — thing I have ever done.
