More about Yumi

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

No one in life is perfect, including me! Being able to identify, relate and empathize with you as my patient is probably one of my greatest strengths. The special relationship formed between you and I, ensuring trust, confidence, and ability to truly work through the issues are of utmost importance. I believe everyone has something to work through in their lives. By providing evidence based therapy and unconditional positive regard, I have been very effective in my treatment history. I will always begin where you feel you need to go in therapy and allow you to guide me in your struggles, what you need most and what you desire to gain from therapy. This is a two way relationship and feedback throughout the therapeutic process will only enhance the therapeutic relationship towards your goals. I wish for you to find the inner peace and strength that I know everyone has within them and to be able to achieve and live the life that makes you feel truly alive!

As for some information about myself, I am a retired Army social worker and love that I have had the ability to work with Soldiers throughout a multitude of issues to include PTSD, depression, anxiety, phase of life issues, grief and loss, marital counseling, substance abuse, domestic violence intervention, parenting skills, and adjustment issues. My background and strengths are in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure and other desensitization therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Supportive Therapy. I like to provide psycho-education and lots of coping skills, self-reflective, and other psychological tools to allow patients to learn and grow via hands-on materials. Growth comes with constant practice and application of the things we learn. I hope you will allow me to be part of your journey and I look forward to meeting you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Yumi has helped me grow in more ways than I can express. In addition to addressing my concerns and what I view to be my biggest challenges, she helps me understand, identify, and work through the underlying issues which cause the things I view to be my biggest challenges. She helps me with self-reflection and identification, and I could not recommend her more highly.

I am so happy I finally reached out for help. I was matched with Yumi within just a few hours. With work and home responsibilities, I wasn’t able to contact her for a few days. She checked in and that message alone really helped get me through my week. Knowing someone cared. I highly recommend her. She helped me deal with a manipulative, gaslighting boyfriend who put me down all the time. She helped me understand him and myself. It only took a few days for me to gain clarity and feel lighter. I’m finally smiling and able to be grateful and positive. It is so easy now and I’ve attracted wonderful things as a result. My mental health and life has greatly improved (in just two weeks!) and I can’t thank her enough. I know I’m going to be okay. I feel like I have my sanity back. I can’t thank her enough.
