Erica Yoshimura, LSW

I see therapy as a sacred space for mindful self-study. A place to slow down, be curious, and open to inner experience. Together, we explore the beliefs and habits that shape how you experience yourself and the world. By bringing gentle awareness to these patterns, we can begin to relate to them with greater curiosity, spaciousness, and choice.

The demands of family, work, and everyday life can create so much noise inside of us. I offer a space where you can relax into yourself, separate noise from signal. I honor wherever you are on this (insane) journey that is life, and offer myself as a support and a companion as you find your own unique way to wholeness.

My approach integrates mindfulness, somatic therapy, and parts work (Internal Family Systems-informed). I am also trained in energy-based practices that can support greater awareness of sensitivity, boundaries, and overwhelm. These practices may be especially helpful for people who feel deeply affected by the emotions or environment around them.

As a therapist, my intention is to create a container where you can do this inner work with a sense of safety and dare I say fun, too! Therapy can be difficult at times, but it can also be joyous—a place for connection, self-discovery, and healing. If my page resonated with you at all, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you.
