Jo-Ellen Foti

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am dedicated to my work with adolescents, adults, & families. My gift is in seeing the big picture. Having obtained my Clinical License (LCSW) & now in private practice, I am accepting clients ages 12 and above. My experience has primarily focused on supporting those with a history of trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief.

I am passionate about helping individuals on journeys of self-discovery who seek a better quality of life. Working with couples and families is a strength of mine, as I support clients in uncovering their strengths to thrive within relationships. Family Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for people to share their stories and feel truly heard.

With 20+ years of experience in Social Work, including time in London, I bring a global view to my practice. A New Jersey native, I studied acting at NYU and later earned my Juris Doctor. Returning to my true passion, I completed my MSW at California State university at Long Beach, which was life-changing. My 19 years as a pediatric trauma social worker taught me the value of calm in crisis.

Hatsuko Otsuka

Hatsuko Otsuka

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Welcome, and 初めまして。 I offer telehealth therapy for residents of Hawaii and New York.

If you’re here, you’re probably hoping to feel better—fast. That’s human.

I was born in Japan, grew up in the U.S., and have lived in both Hawaii and New York. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both states, with a background in leading nationally recognized mental health programs and training over 200 therapists. I also bring a business perspective, which helps me focus on practical, real-world solutions.

From both professional and personal experience, I understand how even strong, capable people can feel overwhelmed when life throws a curveball.

Sometimes change takes time, but we can begin right away by making sense of what’s going on and finding realistic ways to move forward.

I take a practical, steady approach, backed by over 25 years of experience in mental health.
