Getting to know Yukako I Sortino

Hello, I'm Yukako (she/her/hers), a fierce mental health advocate for migrants, refugees, and immigrants regardless of your immigration status. I am a psychotherapist with a passion for creating safe mental and emotional space for all, including immigrants and refugees. As an immigrant myself, I understand the unique challenges you may face. I offer a safe space for you to share your story, and together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan to help you thrive and live your life with a sense of ownership and autonomy. I am Japanese and have spent more than half of my life in other regions of the world. I truly believe that healing can start where empathy meets human connection. We cannot change systems and policies quickly, but we can change ourselves. I want to help people take back ownership of life from the systems that failed us. We can be creative and reimagine communities where wellbeing?mental, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual?is centered. If we want to see and be the change, we have to be brave, imaginative, believe that we can, and take action in solidarity. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Chicago, which has deepened my commitment and skills in supporting diverse communities. You are not alone. You don't need to face your trauma or walk alone through a tunnel you might be stuck in. We can heal together.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
