Medical doctors often comment that the majority of patients who come to see them are struggling with illnesses or diseases that are either directly caused by stress or greatly worsened by it. Dr. Tsukahara has devoted many years to teaching clients a variety of stress reduction techniques that enhance mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. She employs scientifically proven techniques such as Herbert Benson’s Relaxation Response in conjunction with the powerful tools of cognitive behavioral therapy.

These techniques have been demonstrated to be very effective in the treatment of such medical conditions as heart disease, high blood pressure, pain management, seizure disorders, insomnia, infertility, premenstrual syndrome, and menopausal symptoms. They are also highly effective in the treatment of psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.

Dr. Tsukahara has focused much of her clinical work on adapting stress reduction techniques to her clients with ADD.
