Yumiko Take

My approach to therapy is tailored to each individual’s needs. These range from psychodynamic, relational, and CBT therapies to mindfulness practices such as breathwork and meditation. I meet each individual with a spirit of openness, curiosity, and an invitation to explore the deepest parts of themselves. I view therapy as an ongoing state of inquiry, exploration, and discovery, and I aim to model a healthy relationship with my clients so they can extend that experience to their everyday lives. I offer approaches to healing and growth that emphasize the integration of mind and body. I have experience working with a wide variety of clients, including LGBTQ populations and those suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, substance abuse, and homelessness. In all of my work, I consider how personal history and social context shapes and impacts behavioral patterns. Therapy begins with establishing one’s current experience and then progresses to unpacking old patterns, eventually increasing self-awareness, stability, and agency to feel more fully alive. I believe that finding the right therapist is crucial in order to make progress. Please contact me to explore the idea of working together.
