Fumiyo Nishimoto MSW, LCSW

PRACTICE OWNER & PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Fumiyo is currently NOT accepting new clients.


Thank you for considering me as your therapist. It can be challenging for many of us to reach out and seek counseling; it is usually a difficult choice undertaken at a difficult time of life. It can take courage and strength to reach out for help, and I am here for you when you do. I have the professional skills and experience to complement your own knowledge and experience, and together we will make a difference.

My practice foundations are in narrative therapy, culturally affirming and GSD (Gender and Sexual Diversity) affirming treatment, trauma-informed treatment and the minority stress model. Therapy is consciously and deliberately writing your own story as we embrace the concept of the “self as inherently fluid” and of all individuals as being capable of crafting new and empowering stories that include a new sense of self. This process is a healing journey, and I'm here to connect with you and to explore together about trauma, grief, and other challenging life experiences that prevent you from healing, growing and living the fulfilling life you are seeking.


I wrote my own healing story with support from a narrative therapist and it was an empowering and liberating experience. I have the professional skills and experience to complement your own knowledge and experience, and I look forward to working with you as a co-author of your story.

Kannon Elizabeth MSW, LCSW, LICSW

PSYCHOTHERAPIST & SOCIAL WORKER

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT CAN BE SO INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT. WE ALL EXPERIENCE TRAUMA, AND OUR INDIVIDUALISTIC SOCIETY OFTEN TELLS US THAT WE HAVE TO GO IT ALONE.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. WE ARE ALL HUMANS AND WE ALL NEED SUPPORT, CONNECTION, AND TO BE SEEN.

I believe that therapy is a great opportunity to heal and create better versions of ourselves.

My approach is person centered: You are the expert in your own life and I am here to help and support with your journey whatever that looks like. I use a variety of techniques that are both collaborative and strengths-based and draw from social justice and equity work. I don’t just look at you as the individual but also how your surrounding environment impacts you.

My counseling style is warm and compassionate. I want to offer you a safe space to heal and grow. It would be an honor to work with you on your life journey. You are the expert and I am here to support you on that journey. I have over 17 years of experience working in Mental Health. I use they/them pronouns and love being a part of the Queer and Trans Community.
