Yuka Takeuchi, LCSW
About me
I am licensed in Southern California with 24 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress (work and personal), anxiety, depression, grief, life transition, motivation, self esteem, & interpersonal communication issues. Have you ever felt that your negative self-talk prevented you from achieving your goals or it's hard for you to say no to people's request, but later, you regret it or become stressed out? You are not alone! I have some tools to assist you. Thoughts (self-talk), emotions, and behaviors are intertwined, thus, by changing the way you think, you can change the way you feel. If you are ready to discover this trick and change your thoughts, I'm your coach! It takes courage to seek help and take the first steps towards a change, but change is possible. I am here to support & empower you in this amazing journey!
