Helping you find safety, connection, and healing
Individual, Couples, and EMDR Therapy in New York
Shimi Shimabuku, LCSW (she/her)
Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
I believe people have a remarkable capacity for healing, especially when they have the safety, support, and space to process what they've experienced. Whether you're navigating the effects of trauma, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling in your relationships, therapy can offer a place to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and create lasting change.
My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and anti-oppressive. I draw from evidence-based practices while honoring the unique experiences, identities, strengths, and wisdom that you bring. I strive to create a collaborative, affirming environment where every part of you is welcome and where healing can unfold at a pace that feels both challenging and sustainable. My hope is that therapy with me becomes a place where you feel deeply seen, supported in your growth, and empowered to cultivate more fulfilling connections—with yourself and with others.
“There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness.”
— Rumi
