Xiaohong Wu, LMHC, LPCC

Hello, I’m Xiaohong, a bilingual (English & Mandarin) licensed psychotherapist practicing across California, New York, and North Carolina. Holding over six years of clinical experience, a Level-3 Psychological Counselor qualification in China, and a commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmative care, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma (including childhood experiences), relationship dynamics, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Having personally navigated life across cultures, I bring both clinical expertise and a heartfelt understanding of what it means to bridge different worlds—helping you navigate family expectations, identity, and personal growth.

My Approach

I offer a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where all parts of you are welcome. My approach is integrative, compassionate, and trauma-informed—drawing primarily on Humanistic Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for deep emotional healing, Internal Family Systems (IFS) for inner parts work, and mindfulness.

Areas of Specialty

• Self-Concept & Growth: Self-criticism, low self-esteem, inner exploration, and personal growth

• Emotional Regulation: Anxiety, depression, trauma healing, and stress management

• Relationships & Boundaries: Social anxiety, intimate relationship dynamics, and setting personal boundaries

• Family of Origin & Childhood Trauma: Family dynamics, early trauma, shame, and feelings of helplessness

• Cultural Adjustment & Identity: Culture shock, lack of belonging, and navigating bicultural identity

• LGBTQ+ Support: Identity exploration, feelings of isolation or rejection, and fear of non-acceptance

Walking Alongside You

I view therapy as a partnership where I act as a gentle, steady guide while you remain the author of your story. Reaching out takes immense courage, especially if you have been carrying a heavy weight alone. You don't have to carry it by yourself anymore—I am here to walk alongside you toward healing, peace, and empowerment.

Together, we will:

• Honor the deep longings behind your emotions

• Tend to wounded or neglected parts of yourself with patience and care

• Clarify and protect your personal boundaries with gentleness and strength

• Reconnect with the innate wisdom, resilience, and love within you

If you feel called to begin this journey, I invite you to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
