Suzie Shihshin Wu
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MSW
I am accepting new clients and am offering video/phone sessions for clients who are distancing or quarantined. Bilingual Mandarin/English.
Therapy is an opportunity. It is an invitation to start healing. We discover various aspects of ourselves, looking into issues from new perspectives, increase self-awareness, and the potential to promote a better quality of life. I am professional, respectful and warm to every person I treat. Together, we create treatment goals that settled in your needs and best result. Also, I am a bilingual therapist and have a decade of practice with Asian Americans especially Chinese immigrants. Whether you feel no belonging in opposing cultures, or how to raise second generation immigrant children, you can work through this journey with me.
I specialize in clinical presentations like depression, anxiety, family and relationships, parenting, and immigration. During my practice in NYC post 9/11, I gained clinical trainings in evidence-based practice with people suffering from trauma, grief/loss, and chronic illness. Currently, my practice is also integrated with mindfulness and self-compassion.
Do you feel life is almost falling apart? Do you want to improve your mood and relationship? Are school and career choices overwhelming? I can empathize and may provide help. I invite you to reach out and see if we can work collaboratively. Together, this can be the beginning of healing and rebuild, and soon, the possibility of change gradually arrives.
