Fonda Tokushige earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology with a minor in Asian American Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2009. She went on to earn a Master of Social Welfare from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2011. Following graduation, Fonda worked for various programs through the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. This time of service proved to be invaluable as she had the distinct privilege and opportunity to assist some of the most vulnerable people in our local communities. Her time with LA County led her to Kaiser Permanente where she worked as a Psychiatric Social Worker for six years before starting her private practice in 2018.

Delivering Comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy prudently requires practitioners to participate in weekly professional and confidential consultations. The primary purpose of this is to support therapists to maintain their adherence to DBT principles, skills, and techniques. As well, the consultation team serves as “therapy for the therapist,” providing guidance, support, and accountability to ensure effective treatment.
