Kimberly Chu has worked with adults, children and adolescents in individual, couples, family, and group therapies for over twenty years. She works both intensively (multiple sessions per week) and in weekly sessions. The issues bringing a person or family to treatment are never easy, nor simple.

Kimberly's approach to therapy is focused on respect for the individual and the difficulties that lead a person to seek help.
