Hi, I'm Susan Shimokaji

,

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who currently works with and supports individuals and families who are impacted with autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, Tourette’s syndrome, intellectual differences and trauma. This neurodiverse population includes children, teens, adults, couples, families, and groups, that want to bring balance, connection, and growth into their relationships. My approach is based on an integration of attachment based and trauma focused treatments using Somatic, EMDR, Mindfulness, Solution Focused, CBT, DBT , emotionally focused, family systems, person-centered, Play Therapy, strength based and narrative methods.

My journey as a Japanese American woman has given me various perspectives into the world of autism, special needs, diverse learning styles, and ethnic challenges, which have connected me to various groups of people who see the world through different lenses than my own.

My goal each day is to touch a life with hope and help one see possibilities of healing, growth, and peace. I look forward to speaking with you through a phone call, on a video platform or in person soon.
