Hello there! I'm Dr. Yuko, a clinical psychologist based in NYC. I'm also a published writer and supervisor, dedicated to supporting hard-working New Yorkers like you who may be feeling completely exhausted and drained from pushing themselves too hard.

I'm here to help unlock your full potential through Anxiety Therapy NYC, a healing-oriented approach that can lead you to a life characterized by ease, authenticity, and joy.

With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in assisting individuals dealing with anxiety, worry, and panic moments. My therapeutic method, known as AEDP therapy, allows us to delve deep into your emotions and address any barriers or anxieties you may have. This mind-body-based approach focuses on processing emotions, harnessing your innate resilience, and fostering meaningful connections.

Our journey together begins by establishing a safe and trusting environment where you can feel comfortable letting your guard down. We may explore calming techniques like focused breathing to alleviate intense anxiety before gently delving into deeper emotions you may have avoided. My goal is to help you connect your mind, body, and emotions in a way that fosters lasting transformations within a supportive space.

Many describe me as warm, gentle, and kind-hearted, with a talent for lightening the mood even during challenging emotional discussions. Think of our sessions as having a heart-to-heart conversation with someone who's always in your corner. Just like having an adult accompany you to the basement as a child made it less scary, I'll be there with you as we navigate the depths of your heart and mind, ensuring you never face your emotions alone.

Therapy with me isn't about fear or pain; it's about compassionate exploration and growth. Through our work together, you'll not only learn to manage anxiety better but also witness positive changes in your relationships, work life, and most importantly, your self-perception. With dedication and time, you can look forward to a life that's more authentic, easier to navigate, and filled with genuine joy and laughter.

If this resonates with you, I invite you to schedule a free consultation to determine if we're the perfect team to embark on this transformative journey together.
