Helping you find safety, connection, and healing
Individual & Couples Therapy and EMDR in New York
Shimi Shimabuku, LCSW (she/her)
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.
I believe all human beings have an innate capacity to heal from wounding of the past or present. Therapy can be a place that supports this reparative process, allowing for the renewal of hope and wholeness. Beginning this journey is a courageous step. My goal is to offer a helpful and active hand to you every step of the way.
My practice is rooted in trauma-informed, client-centered, and anti-oppressive philosophies. I prioritize creating a safe and affirming environment—one that values and elevates you and your lived experiences. By anchoring our work to the therapeutic space and relationship we build together, I hope to foster your personal growth, strengthen your connection to self and others, and restore your sense of worthiness and well-being.
“There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness.”
— Rumi
