Dr. Elise Yoshida

When life is stressful, it can be hard to imagine taking time out for yourself or trying to grow as a person. Knowing how difficult it can be to face anxiety, overwhelming thoughts, self-judgment, and procrastination, I'm ready to be your guide and walk with you as we face life's stressors together. I specialize in working with people who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, rumination, and burnout and who want to feel more control over their thoughts and emotions, improve their self-esteem, and work towards building a fulfilling life. My expertise is in applying evidence-based practices (CBT, DBT, ACT, CPT, and mindfulness) and customizing them to fit you and your needs. In our work together, you will have the opportunity to learn tools that actually work and are supported by research. I use a genuine, compassionate, and culturally responsive style to create an understanding, supportive atmosphere. As your psychologist, we will work as a team to reach your goals so that you feel empowered to tackle whatever comes your way. I’m passionate about sharing and disseminating evidence-based skills to everyone, including my clients, businesses, and fellow clinicians. In addition to individual therapy, I'm open to participating in workshops, speaking engagements, and professional consultations. If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request or call me to schedule a free 20 minute phone consultation. Please note: I'm currently licensed in California and Hawai'i, so I can only conduct psychotherapy with people who reside in the states of California or Hawai'i.
