Teletherapy for Berkeley, CA

Sometimes in life, depression and anxiety can feel like they are limiting your options and moving you away from your values. This can create feelings of misdirection and occasional coping in ways that are temporarily helpful but ultimately hurtful. Or it can lead you to unhappy relationships. You may struggle to stop these patterns, even though you know these are not the directions you want your life to go. Maybe you are trying to figure out who you are, trying on different personas and hoping that one will feel right.

My work and life experiences have made me especially interested in the intersection between mental and physical health. I have extensive experience working with individuals coping with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, adjusting to major life changes such as a new medical diagnosis or growing family as well as bereavement and loss. I take a holistic approach to well being, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, breathing exercises and more. I value a collaborative approach and want to work with you to find the support and change you seek.

My work is informed by years of practice and research in evidence-based methods and interventions aimed at helping people change. I create strong collaborative relationships with a goal of helping to improve personal and interpersonal effectiveness, and to bringing about one's best, most authentic self.

Hello and welcome. My name is Dr. Fukiko Shibahara and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. I offer relational and compassionate attachment-based psychotherapy and insights for individuals of all ages both in person and online, including infants, children and families. Have you experienced trauma, difficult life events, loss, or conflicts and wanted to process them safely with someone professional?

Play therapy in combination with parent/family consultation can help children deal with transitions, losses, worries, trauma, behavioral issues and “big feelings”. With warmth, empathy and playfulness, I help children (and parents) make sense of their feelings and experiences, mobilize their strengths and supports, and adapt to tough situations. A licensed clinical social worker, I have worked with children and families, and trained therapists for more than 25 years in local agencies. I am very pleased to offer in-person therapy in Berkeley with a focus on children and families.

I am a family systems psychotherapist working with individuals and families confronting complex mental health, behavioral, substance abuse and relational challenges that often break families apart. I support individuals and families towards finding sustainable solutions that restore trust, connection and peace. My style is relational, warm and direct. Together we seek to uncover roots causes while I use a trauma and attachment informed lens to collaborate with you towards healing and resolution. My formal training and clinical experience lend well to both solution-focused work as well as depthful healing.

As a psychologist, I provide a bridge between traditional psychotherapy and alternative modalities, in a highly individualized approach.Hypnotherapy integrated with psychotherapy can effectively reduce stress and anxiety, while resolving issues of relationships, career, health, or self-development. Hypnosis is a natural way to empower you to "change your brain." Release negative beliefs, shift self-defeating habits to life enhancing ones, discover your "source self" and utilize creative inner resources that you may not even be aware you have.

Therapy is an opportunity for getting support when we recognize that the old ways of coping with challenging life situations are no longer working. You may feel that seeking professional help is the last resort. In fact, it is the most important step. In my practice, I provide a warm and collaborative environment to support clients in making positive changes to live healthier, happier, and more productive lives. I see adults, adolescents, and couples with a wide variety of issues and concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, sexual issues, anger management, and substance abuse.

Many of the clients I work with have either lost or struggled to develop a sense of control in their lives and relationships– having fallen into destructive patterns of substance abuse/addiction and impulsive and/or self-harming behaviors. Others may be struggling with an excess of self-imposed control– leading to a sense of isolation and fear of taking healthy risks. Some are confronting a major life-transition, loss of identity, divorce, death of a loved one or faced with a pervading sense of meaninglessness. All are, in one way or another, seeking to increase their sense of personal agency and effectiveness in daily life.

I see you as a unique individual from a systems perspective and want to understand the interrelatedness of your current relationships, social systems, belief systems, and family history in order to see how certain patterns have emerged in your life. I work with OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, transitional stages in life, racially mixed relationship issues, Asian American and BIPOC community, mixed-race, gender affirming, LGBTQIA+ community, neurodiverse community, parents, adolescents, and more.

I enjoy working with children and adults to help them find grounded ways of being with and moving through the struggles they face. I believe that strong relationships, with the self, the body, and with others, are central to a healthy lifestyle. Painful life experiences, transitions, trauma, anxiety, and depression are opportunities for growth, and helping people move through these challenges is incredibly rewarding. I love working with people of diverse sociocultural backgrounds and exploring how culture shapes experience. A deep understanding of development allows me to connect with people of all ages and help them move through difficult stages.
