Yuko Hakamata, PhD

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with almost 20 years of clinical experience. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of mood and anxiety disorders (including panic, social anxiety, phobia, generalized worry, and obsessive thoughts/compulsive behaviors). I work with adolescents (ages 16+) and adults.

In a long life journey, we all go through hardships and may sometimes feel lonely or hopeless. Still, we can always find hope as spring will come around after a long and harsh winter. We work together to disentangle and overcome the complicated problems causing you distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you alleviate your distress by identifying and changing negative thoughts and behaviors that trap you into a vicious cycle.

My practice places great importance on providing psychotherapy tailored to each individual and is flexibly open to every evidence-based psychological approach.
