Dana Jill Oshiro

Dana Jill Oshiro, LICSW, is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and therapist who is passionate about guiding individuals toward their best, most productive, and loving selves. With over 25 years of experience, her expertise encompasses reducing stress and anxiety, discovering meaning and purpose in life, and supporting Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Dana employs a range of body-centered techniques, including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and self-compassion. She works with clients who are ready to undergo personal transformations rather than attempting to change others, aiming to foster a sense of balance, wholeness, and purpose in their lives. By teaching techniques to calm the body, Dana enhances her clients' ability to access their clear, confident, and creative selves. Common issues addressed in her practice include the tendency to prioritize others at the expense of self, feelings of overwhelming responsibility, and a lack of appreciation for one’s efforts. Known for her warm, genuine, and empathic approach, Dana also brings an irreverent sense of humor to therapy. Her journey as a mother of two young adults and her more than 30 years of marriage provide her with deep compassion for the challenges individuals face and the courage they exhibit in overcoming them.
