Shimi Shimabuku

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Last Updated 30+ days ago

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in mental health, advocacy, and education. Through these experiences, and my own healing journey, I have come to understand the importance of safety, trust, and authenticity as a therapist. I prioritize creating a safe and affirming environment—one that values and elevates you and your lived experiences.

I work with individuals struggling to cope with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I have a particular expertise working with survivors of complex trauma, including interpersonal violence, sexual assault, and attachment wounding.
