After making little progress with previous therapists I can honestly say I owe Yuki my life. I've worked with her for over 2 years and the level of care and compassion she demonstrates cannot be put into words. She cares so much about her clients and goes above and beyond her role as a therapist, always making her self available and being a true cheerleader throughout some very dark times. I adore her and would recommend her to anyone.

Yuki completely change my mindset on therapy, for the better. I love the way she helps me view situations in different perspectives which eases my anxiety. I never thought I needed a “relationship” therapist, but her expertise in such really applies to all connections people have in life, whether it’s platonic, romantic, or family connections. I’m really grateful to have Yuki’s guidance!

More about Yuki

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I am a License Marriage and Family Therapist since 2012. I am also certified drug counselor since 2005. I have working with individuals and their families who struggle with addiction, severe mental health, and co-occurring disorder. My reward to be therapist is to be a witness of people's turn around. If you are struggling with your addiction and feeling to walk in dark, I would like to be your candle to lighten your pass for recovery. If you are struggling with your loved one's addiction, let's talk and figure out how we can help your loved one. It is also painful for you to see your loved one is struggling. Along with my extended experiences with addiction counseling, I have helping people with depression, anxiety, severe mental health, co-dependency and family conflict. If you are feeling to be stuck with your life and need someone to talk to you, I am here to support you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
