Jill Ogata
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I know it's not easy and it's a big step to get yourself into therapy, so I sincerely welcome you. My name is Jill, and I am a Licensed Behavioral Health Therapist practicing in the state of California. I specialize in trauma-related disorders, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, developmental trauma, and complex trauma. I have a background in working with victims of narcissistic abuse, difficulties with co-parenting, and toxic personalities in general. I utilize several treatment modalities including EMDR, Part's work, and Somatic interventions to help soothe the self and become un-stuck.

Whether you are having difficulties in your relationships, or career, or generally feeling overwhelmed and helpless, I'm here for you! Let's book an appointment together to get you feeling more like yourself.
First session
Our first session will be a "get-to-know-you" session so that we can align our goals for the duration of treatment. Sessions thereafter, you can expect that we will dive head first into problems and stressors that are causing disturbances in your everyday life. I do believe that our upbringing plays a significant impact on our daily functioning, so with patience and compassion, we will take a look at those different patterns.
Strengths
I specialize in trauma and developmental trauma. Most of my clients have seen multiple therapists before coming to see me. I have significant experience with victims of abuse whether it be emotional or physical, toxic co-parenting, and parental alienation.
Ideal clients
Adults whom are willing to take the deep dive into their emotions and behaviors. I work best with those whom are interested in questioning themselves and want to investigate how their own defenses were formed and what we can do to change them. I work best with those whom are sick and tired of being sick and tired, whom are open-minded and willing to look at things from a different angle.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I have been trained and certified with the EMDR Institute, created and founded by psychologist Francine Shapiro. I've had the pleasure of seeing remarkable and significant change within my clients who have been suffering for many years.
Trauma Informed Care
I have been trained in Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (Part's Work), created and founded by Dr. Janina Fisher. This is the primary model in which I utilize in my practice because I have seen that it is the most effective for those suffering from their emotions and behaviors.
Somatic
I have also been trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute. Although I utilize this treatment modality less frequently, I utilize it in conjunction with EMDR, and have found it significantly helpful with reprocessing childhood trauma.
