Getting to know Tobi Nishikawa

I consider it an immense privilege to come alongside my clients to support them in achieving their self-determined goals. Specializing in trauma, I am a holistic practitioner who incorporates multi-faceted approaches in a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. I have extensive experience working with marginalized populations and, therefore, am able to consider the complexities of ethnicity, culture, societal systems, and identity in my therapeutic work. My approach I am an EMDR-Certified therapist who is also extensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I treat the whole person, mind-body, integrating mindful somatic approaches and strategies to manage and resolve symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and stress. I work collaboratively with each client to help them achieve their goals. My focus If you're feeling stuck in your past trauma, struggling with debilitating anxiety, or simply dissatisfied with life, I am here to help you not just survive but to thrive. My heart intention is to meet you where you are at and help you incorporate holistic practices at a pace that works for you. My communication style I strive to be a compassionate, curious, and active-listening practitioner who balances providing just the right amount of guidance in the form of psychoeducation, strategies, and skills for my clients. My journey to mental healthcare Being a strong empath and healer, I have always sought to understand people and partner with them on their path towards healing. When I began my journey as a practitioner, I really only knew therapy to be provided in the context of private practice. When I finally embarked into the working world after graduate school, I landed in the nonprofit world and remained there, even now as a volunteer, for over 20 years.
