Hello! My name is Dr. Cheri Wu, and I am board-certified in Adult Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. I have top-notch medical training, graduating from Stanford for Adult Psychiatry Residency and Child Psychiatry Fellowship. As a younger provider, I connect well with children, teens, and young adults and have the most up-to-date knowledge and understanding of the latest psychiatric treatments.
I have hands-on training and expertise working with children and teens dealing with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I can provide medication management as well as individual therapy, depending on your needs. With my private practice, I am able to spend time getting to know you better and guiding you on a path toward your treatment goals.
I am currently accepting new patients in California. I am able to provide you with high quality care from the comfort of your home via telehealth. I am also seeing patients in person on a case-by-base basis. Please note I am out-of-network with insurance carriers. Please see my website for more details including rates and how to book an intake.

I work with younger patients who may be struggling with depression or anxiety related to their relationships or family. During our intake, we will delve into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan to address them in a holistic fashion. Most of my patients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
