Meet Suzie Wu, LCSW 吳式珣心理治療師
​
I am a licensed LCSW psychotherapist working with individuals, couples & families with two decades of clinical experiences. I am flutently in Mandarin Chinese/English & provide culturally competent psychotherapy.  My practice located in Berkeley in San Francisco Bay Area while I also provide virtual therapy in California & New York two states since 2004.

Identified as an Asian American and raising an immigrant family myself, I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, parenting, life transitions, relationship issues, self esteem and immigration/identity.  I am trained and practice in Attachment Focused-EMDR, psychodynamic psychotherapy, emotional focus couple & family therapy (EFCT; EFFT), attachment-based therapy, Internal Family System (IFS), mindfulness, and acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT). 

Through my devotion in making a change of people' life, I have helped clients including different generation of Asian Americans, immigrant and parents raising children with acculturation challenges, and caretaking burden as a sandwich generation. We work on developmental injury to complex trauma, grief and lost in various life stages, and struggles in different type of relationships which we ultimately are longing for a safe attachment with our partner, parents, children, and our inner self. 

Therapeutic relationship is a key to set for the success of treatment. It is a collaborated work with trust and sense of safety. We discover various aspects of your parts, discover relationship and behavior patterns, look into issues from new perspectives to promote a better quality of life. I am respectful to everyone I treat and can easily connect with you. Together, we create treatment goals that settled in your needs and best results.

Are you feeling not being seen or heard? Are you encounter challenges as immigrant parents or adult children with aging parents? Do you want to improve mood and relationship? Could you reduce the burden from traumas and recover from an attachment injury from the past? Simply give me a call for free consultation today and start the change.
