Getting to know Deborah Fujimoto
My name is Deborah Fujimoto. For the past 15 years, I have approached each client as a unique individual. No one person behaves, thinks, or reacts the same.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, which has equipped me with the skills to support clients effectively.
My approach
I establish a client relationship where the client feels free and safe to talk about their present circumstances. After a couple of sessions or more, I determine the best therapeutic approach. My top modalities include CBT, solution-focused, person-centered, grief work, and trauma-focused therapy.
My focus
I allow clients to vent what they need to in the first session. I do not follow a strict timetable but rather the client's readiness to discuss their situation.
My communication style
I communicate with empathy and a soft tone of voice that allows clients to feel comfortable and safe. Clients need to feel heard and validated without judgment.
My journey to therapy
I have personal experience with therapy, which made a huge impact on how I now live my life. Therapy helped me see what I could not see in myself at the time. It changed how I viewed myself and others. My approach is to pay close attention to words, body language, and facial expressions-to show sensitivity, empathy, and always hope that a person can move forward.
My goals for you
When I see a therapeutic relationship develop, it means a client is comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions. Progress toward the next step follows this established relationship. The more progress made, the more a client shares and becomes open to growth.
My first session with you
Clients can expect an empathetic, non-judgmental therapist who is ready to work with patience and understanding.
