Maple Moriji, Marriage and Family Therapist Intern

Specialties

Sometimes you can’t break free from your attached beliefs and feelings on your own without guidance from someone else. Perhaps you feel caught in a cycle; a victim of the circumstances around you, realizing you can’t make progress because you just don’t know where to start. You’ve come to the right place. I’m glad you’re here. I can help.

Do you wish someone would truly understand what you are going through? Are you tired of being told to just «get over» it, even though the pain stays with you no matter how hard you try? Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns over and over again, even though you swore to yourself last time that it would never happen again?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. There are steps you can take to overcome your challenges. No two people are alike, and therapy can help you create specific self-​awareness that will change your reality. It is never too late to become the person you were meant to be.

Business Owner

Maple Moriji was born on December 29, 1970 in Tokyo, Japan, an only child of a Japanese father and Danish mother. Instead of enrolling at a Japanese school, he attended a private international school called the American School in Japan (ASIJ). At ASIJ, he befriended other third culture children of different nationalities from across the globe.

In 1989, he graduated from ASIJ and moved to Washington, DC where he enrolled at George Washington University. He received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in 1994 after which he began his career in information technology. He eventually relocated to Los Angeles in 1998 and subsequently became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2004.

After having worked in the corporate world for over 13 years, he was prompted by his lifelong interest in human psychology to become a Marriage and Family Therapist and enrolled at Antioch University in 2009.
