When Words Don’t Work: Art, Access, & the Fight Against Stigma with Manami Yamamoto, LMFT – Episode 370


Listen Later

Healing doesn’t start with a diagnosis—it starts with feeling safe enough to be seen.

In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Manami Yamamoto, MA, LMFT, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the Founder of Blue Humming Therapy—a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting holistic mental health within diverse communities. With a compassionate, culturally attuned approach, Manami works with individuals, couples, and families of all ages to foster balance, connection, and inner guidance. Her work centers on creating safe, inclusive spaces where healing can unfold in ways that honor each person’s unique path. An internationally recognized leader in the mental health space, Manami brings deep experience and heartfelt wisdom to today’s conversation. Together, we explore how she’s breaking down stigma in minority communities, using creative therapies to expand access, and addressing systemic barriers to support, education, and equity in mental health care.
