    I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and effective support to individuals and families. My approach is integrative and client-centered, utilizing evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with holistic methods tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My focus is on anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and the complexities of trauma-related challenges, and I am always striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for my clients.

    While currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Social Work, I bring fresh perspectives and a dedication to helping clients navigate life’s challenges, explore their emotions, and develop coping strategies that foster resilience and discover their strengths to move towards a more fulfilling life. Above all, I believe in the power of empathy and the human connection to foster healing and growth.

    Krystal Fujii

    As a client-centered psychotherapist with a concentration on Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Trauma, I am dedicated to helping children overcome their difficult experiences. My approach focuses on addressing complex developmental trauma, using evidence-based interventions such as Critical Incident Densitization and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Throughout the treatment process, I work with children to modify negative, unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that result from traumatic experiences. I also use different techniques of play and art to help children express their trauma narrative in a non-verbal way. With positive treatment and training outcomes, I believe that CBT, Client Centered Play Therapy, and CID offer a promising approach for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma

    About Me
