Jennifer Fukushima Psychotherapy

Appointments may be booked up to 18 hours in advance. If you wish to book with less than 18 hours notice, you will be asked to email me for confirmation and I will do my best to accommodate you.

Sliding Scale

It is my hope that by offering sliding scale sessions, I may be able to support those with limited financial means and those from groups impacted by systemic injustices. Funds from those who are able to pay full fee will allow me to offer more low cost session slots. Please inquire if you think you may be eligible.

Psychotherapy

I am trained in the psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy, which is a talk-based therapy. Through therapy, we will explore childhood and past experiences that have shaped your present day patterns, relationships and ability to show up in the world.

I am trained in the psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy, which is a talk-based therapy. Through therapy, we will explore childhood and past experiences that have shaped your present day patterns, relationships and ability to show up in the world. There may be thoughts, feelings and beliefs that are outside of your awareness impacting your day to day life which we may work to gently uncover. We will work to build trust together and may practice new ways of relating that you may use in your life. Some general goals of therapy are increased self-awareness and reduced suffering, but we will work together to formulate goals specific to you. I may also bring in light breathwork and somatic awareness exercises for a more holistic approach to support your wellness.


Astrological Psychotherapy

Astrology has the potential to deepen an individual’s sense of self and provide a broader spectrum for self-expression. By viewing oneself as part of a larger whole, it is possible to achieve an increased sense of meaning and purpose. I take a spiritually integrated approach to astrological psychotherapy.

Astrology has the potential to deepen an individual’s sense of self and provide a broader spectrum for self-expression. By viewing oneself as part of a larger whole, it is possible to achieve an increased sense of meaning and purpose.

I take a spiritually integrated approach to astrological psychotherapy. In these sessions, we can bring in astrological language and symbolism alongside other established modalities and evidence-based interventions. I will always work with your level of understanding of astrology and the ways in which it is relevant to your life.

For clients who are not astro-literate, I can use the chart to inform the way I work with you, but may not bring the language directly into our sessions.

I do not offer predictive work or give “readings” in psychotherapy sessions but can assist you in processing what you are going through from an astrological lens.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale client slots, with the goal of providing support those with limited financial means. Income from those who are able to pay full fee will allow me to offer more lower cost session slots.

I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which is a traditional talk-based therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness exercises and DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy) for a more holistic approach to support your wellness.

I specialize in working with those who are struggling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety and people pleasing. Let me support you in working toward new found self-confidence, improved boundary setting and increased efficacy around conflict resolution.

DBT is an evidence based treatment for borderline personality disorder which is another focus of my practice. If you experience frequent emotional dysregulation, impulsive spending, substance use, sexual activity or self-harm, this might be an effective treatment options for you.

As a former designer and small business owner, I also support those who are struggling with issues around creativity, workaholism and work-related stress.

As a practitioner and follower of alternative spirituality, I can also offer support for those struggling with spiritual concerns and transpersonal experiences through use of symbolism, synchronicity and archetypal inquiry.

I operate from a harm reduction stance. My sessions are informed by your unique position within time, culture and the fabric of our society. I am 2SLGBTQ+ aligned, culturally sensitive and operate from a feminist lens.

I embrace that the symptoms you are experiencing are part of a larger whole. Together, we can put this into context, to create meaning and clarity for you, within your mind, body and soul, within your personal history and within the world at large. Through therapy, we will explore how childhood and past experiences have shaped your present day patterns and relationships. There may be thoughts, feelings and beliefs that are outside of your awareness impacting your day to day life which we may work to gently uncover. We will work to build trust together and may practice new ways of relating that you can use in your life.
