Dr. Keiko Ito
Psychologist
Practical, collaborative therapy for understanding anxiety and building more flexible responses.
Dr. Keiko Ito works with adults whose lives have become narrowed by worry, panic, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, or persistent self-doubt. She offers a structured but humane space for understanding how anxiety operates and why familiar coping strategies can sometimes keep the cycle going.
Clients can expect clear explanations, shared goals, and a therapy process that connects insight with daily practice. Dr. Ito pays close attention to the demands of work, relationships, identity, and culture so that change feels relevant outside the therapy room.

Her Approach
Her cognitive behavioral approach helps clients notice the links among thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and actions. Together they test assumptions, practice tolerating uncertainty, and develop responses that support the life the client wants rather than the rules anxiety imposes.
The work is collaborative and transparent. Progress is reviewed openly, exercises are adapted rather than assigned mechanically, and clients have room to discuss what is useful, what feels difficult, and where the plan needs to change.
Areas of Focus
Anxiety
Support for chronic worry, physical tension, avoidance, and the pressure to stay in control.
