Mutsumi earned a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Texas at Tyler in 2005 and has continued training at several universities, including the University of Utah. For many years, Mutsumi has worked with children and adolescents—as a school psychologist in public schools and as a psychologist in a group home in Japan. Those experiences opened eyes to how deeply our early experiences shape us and how trauma can sometimes pass from one generation to the next.

Since becoming a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in 2019, Mutsumi has loved working with people of all ages and stages of life. In therapy work, the main approaches used are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Mutsumi listens deeply to understand each client's unique story and these approaches help clients understand patterns, build emotional flexibility, and create meaningful change in their lives.

As a certified Clinical Yoga Practitioner (since 2020), Mutsumi enjoys helping clients reconnect with their bodies. Mindfulness, movement, and breathwork are often integrated into sessions to help reduce stress, release tension, and promote healing from the inside out. There is a deep belief that caring for our bodies is a powerful part of caring for our minds—and that physical activity is essential for brain health and overall well-being.
