Feel Lighter
Somatic & Integrative Psychotherapy
Yoko Hisano, MA, MSW, LICSW
I’m grateful you’ve landed here
I help women of color, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and high-achieving adults release trauma, anxiety, and perfectionism, and feel more present, grounded, and at ease in their bodies.
Using Brainspotting, a gentle, body-based therapy, we access what your nervous system has been holding and allow insight, release, and lasting change to emerge. I also integrate parts-work, mindfulness, and relational attunement to support your healing in a holistic, psycho-spiritual way.
You don’t have to carry this on your own
When you’re ready, we can take the next step together
Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Yoko
You’re invited to arrive just as you are.
I offer trauma-informed, somatic therapy grounded in Brainspotting, and supported by parts-work, mindfulness, and relational care—attending to both your inner experience and your nervous system.
Stress and trauma often live in the body before they find words. In our work together, we slow the pace, listen beneath the surface, and gently release what’s been held—creating space for steadiness, presence, and inner clarity to return.
My practice centers women of color and people with cross-cultural identities, and I welcome anyone who has felt unseen, overwhelmed, disconnected, or shaped by marginalization. There’s no need to perform or have it all figured out here. You’re invited to arrive as you are, and we move at the pace your system is ready for.
My intention is to offer a grounded, trauma-informed space where the body is honored as a source of wisdom—supporting nervous system regulation and integration, and allowing change to unfold in service of clarity, ease, and liberation.
As Linda Thai reminds us,
“Your body is the keeper of your lived experience — and also the doorway to your liberation”
