Lulu Gao, CIT, is dedicated to creating a gentle, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to slow down, breathe, and begin exploring their inner world. Lulu approaches therapy from a holistic and strengths-based perspective, believing that every individual carries the capacity for healing and growth within themselves. Lulu understands how vulnerable it can be to reach out for support, and she treats each therapeutic relationship with deep respect, warmth, and care. Her goal is to offer a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, accepted, and empowered to choose the path they want for their lives.
Lulu works collaboratively with clients to explore their ideal life and to set meaningful goals that align with their values. Her approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Adlerian principles, while also drawing on creative and experiential methods, such as art, journaling to make the therapy more engaging.

I work with clients who may be struggling with various mental health or life and relationship issues. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
