Getting to know Wendy Yoshioka
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Hawaii with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Hawaii and 8 years of professional experience. I have helped clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, motivation, self-worth, and trauma. I believe you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths to help you overcome challenges. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you on that journey. This provider resides in Hawaii.
My approach
My approach to therapy begins with listening. I want to understand what you are experiencing and where you would like to see improvements in different areas of your life—personal, professional, spiritual, and relational. The primary theoretical approaches I use include cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and inner healing work. I also enjoy working with strengths-based and solution-focused approaches. This process may involve exploring childhood experiences, trauma, and strongholds. I would be honored to work with you in these areas.
My focus
I typically work with adults of all ages and children experiencing trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, depression, compassion fatigue, attachment issues, commitment and control issues, emptiness, family of origin concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, mood disorders, multicultural concerns, and women’s issues.
My communication style
Working with me is a collaborative team effort that encourages open and honest dialogue to identify root issues, make lasting change, and move toward your goals. I strive to create a nurturing environment where clients feel truly seen and heard.
