Helping you find safety, connection, and healing
Individual, Couples, and EMDR Therapy in New York
Shimi Shimabuku, LCSW (she/her)
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.
I believe all humans have an innate capacity to heal the wounds of trauma. 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 approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and anti-oppressive. I prioritize creating a safe and affirming environment—one that values and elevates you and your lived experience. By anchoring our work to the therapeutic space and relationship we build together, we’ll 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
