Karisa Morikawa, LSWAIC - Yukkuri Wellness, PLLC
Hello! I’m Karisa, a therapist and somatically trained coach. Both my therapy and coaching practice supports people in healing, transforming, and aligning their lives with what matters most to them.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, culturally-responsive, and trauma informed. I hold both a personal and systemic lens, recognizing how individual experiences are shaped by larger social, cultural, and historical contexts. I work collaboratively to create a space that is responsive to your unique needs, identities and lived experiences. I integrate and offer different modalities including brainspotting, attachment theory, psychodynamic exploration, parts work, somatic processing, and a range of embodiment & mindfulness practices, and together we figure out what is most supportive for you. I specialize in:
-exploring identity
-embodiment
-metabolizing trauma including complex trauma (CPTSD)
-holding grief (personal and ancestral)
-moving through life transitions
-navigating relationships (including non-monogamy, relationship anarchy, polyamory, and other expansive frameworks)
As a somatic coach, I’ll invite you to explore not just what’s happening in your mind, but what your body knows. Together we’ll uncover your longings, desires, and values, which will shape your coaching goals and commitments. We will use embodiment practices, creative exploration, and reflective inquiry to reveal patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We’ll examine these patterns in the larger societal, historical, and generational context and acknowledge the role those survival strategies have played in maintaining your safety, dignity, and belonging. Slowly and therefore deeply we will work to transform these patterns, making space for new ways of being.
I am committed to showing up with full presence, curiosity, care, and deep respect for your story. My hope is to support you in honoring exactly where you are while making space for healing, connection, and living in deeper alignment with your values and goals. helping you reconnect with your own wisdom and move through the world with greater intention, alignment, and self-trust.
