Accepting Clients

Hi, my name is Marina Masaki, LMFT. I offer relationship, discernment, and sex therapy for analytical minds.

Marriage & Family Therapist in Seattle, WA

About My Clients

You are frustrated with understanding problems intellectually but still feeling stuck. You’ve been feeling different or misunderstood for a while now. Drawing from my clinical and personal experience, I’m here to support your transformation. I specialize in improving communication and conflict resolution, multicultural relationships, rebuilding trust and connection, navigating sexual/intimacy issues, discernment counseling, and career stress in tech.

My Background and Approach

I blend my data science background with relational and sex therapy training to identify underlying patterns in your relationships and explore new ways of being. I am a trained Discernment Counselor, helping couples on the brink make clear decisions about the future of their relationships. My approach to therapy is intersectional, collaborative, strengths-based, and anti-oppressive. I create a supportive environment, offering a kink-informed, poly-friendly, and trauma-informed perspective. I tailor my approach to the needs of my clients, blending a number of research-backed modalities: Attachment Based Therapy, Developmental Model, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems (also known as “parts work” or “inner child work”), Mindfulness, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a woman of color and child of immigrants, I support individuals and families in understanding their experiences within broader systems like families, intimate partnerships, workplace, and society at large. My journey has taken me from analyzing data for Google apps to analyzing patterns in how we connect, love, and grow. Working with me will be unique because of my personal understanding and professional insight. Outside of the therapy office, you'll find me fostering dogs and volunteering at Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary. My first visit to the animal sanctuary led to my first fostering experience, which led to the adoption of my chihuahua mix, Cooper!

I offer online counseling in the following states:
