Getting to know Tami Yamashita-Emhof

Hi there, I'm Tami M A! My name is Tami Yamashita, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Hawaii. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Hawaii. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions. My mindfulness-based approach encourages clients to develop greater self-awareness and presence, which is essential in breaking unhelpful patterns and building healthier coping strategies. My approach As a licensed social worker with a focus on holistic mental health, I specialize in integrating Mindfulness Practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support individuals in navigating life's challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to each client's unique needs, fostering resilience, emotional balance, and personal growth. My focus I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental health, offering specialized care for a wide range of disorders, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, disordered eating, substance abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and trauma. My communication style I specialize in providing compassionate care for individuals dealing with the complexities of mental health, with a strong focus on transforming dysfunctional thought patterns and managing the stressors of daily life. I am committed to guiding my clients toward healing, resilience, and a more balanced life in a safe, non-judgmental space where they can explore their emotions and experiences. My journey to mental healthcare I have wanted to become a therapist since I was 19 years old. I struggled with an eating disorder for most of my young adult life. Since recovering from my own mental health challenges, I have always wanted to help others with their disordered eating and destructive thought patterns.
