    Churan Wu Psychotherapist

    If you find yourself pondering questions like “Why am I having those thoughts, feelings, or urges?” or “what do I truly want for my life?”, you’re not alone. In our ever-changing world, our perceptions and experiences constantly evolve, and understanding them can be both challenging and enlightening. As your therapist, I aim to be another pair of eyes, offering new perspectives on the issues you face and supporting your growth in a culturally sensitive, nonjudgemental, authentic, and encouraging environment.

    As an Asian therapist, I am deeply committed to supporting marginalized individuals and couples who are navigating a variety of challenges, such as stress management, self-esteem issues, interpersonal problems, gaining subjectivity, and overcoming trauma. I have extensive experience working with ethnic minorities and international students to address issues of cultural adaptations, self-esteem issues, identity exploration, and life transitions. I am bilingual and provide counseling in both Mandarin (Chinese) and English.

    I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a minor in Education and Educational Services. I am currently a second-year master’s student at Northwestern University. My approach incorporates mindfulness practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), humanistic principles, multicultural lens, Narrative Therapy, solution-focused approach, and psychodynamic theories. These methods can help you unravel your story, understand your deeper feelings, and build a more authentic and satisfying life. You are enough by just showing up, and I will meet you where you are.

    I have immediate availability for Telehealth  and In-Person appointments.

    你是否正在被自己的某些情绪、想法所困扰呢?你是否想要探索自己生命的意义,却不知道如何开始?如果你正在经历这些问题,我想告诉你,你并不孤单。在这个瞬息万变的世界里,我们身边的人、亲历的事和听说的故事,都会与核心自我发生碰撞,让我们产生各种各样的情绪、想法和观念。理解它们的过程,也是认知自我的过程。

    我本科毕业于 UW-Madison 心理学专业,辅修教育与教育服务。我目前就读于 Northwestern University 临床心理咨询硕士项目。我是一位整合型流派咨询师,我的治疗方法融合了正念实践、接受与承诺疗法(ACT)、人本主义原则、多元文化视角、叙事疗法、焦点解决方法和心理动力学理论。

    我希望为你提供一个被接纳、被看见、被理解的安全空间,让你在这样的空间中自我探索,陪伴你成长为更幸福自洽的人。期待在咨询室中与你见面。
