Jill Furumoto

My communication style

My communication involves active listening, reflection, open inquiry, and the Socratic method. I create a safe space for you to share thoughts and feelings and deepen self-awareness through insight and reflection. I establish trust by respecting your process and demonstrating a willingness to engage collaboratively.

My journey to mental healthcare

My desire to be a therapist is connected to my empathic nature, curiosity, and calling to help and understand people. I have always been driven to understand the human condition and alleviate suffering. I am a lifelong learner, and my ongoing training inspires me to keep up with research.

My goals for you

If you wish to set goals, I support you in identifying what you want to achieve, what it would look like, and how you'll know if you've achieved it. Once you've committed to a goal, I help you set up specific objectives and action steps. If you have difficulty meeting a goal, I help you understand barriers.

Our first session

The first session is a welcome and introduction. It's an opportunity for you to share why you're coming to therapy and what you hope to work on. You can share history and information you feel comfortable with. It's also a chance for you to ask me questions about my therapeutic approach.

• Female
