Max Wu

I provide a collaborative therapy process for adults of diverse, intersecting identities and backgrounds, and he prioritizes working within clients’ frames of reference to reach their goals. In particular, I treat a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, academic and career challenges, adjustment challenges, dating and relationships, men’s concerns, Asian American mental health, and identity development. My therapeutic approach builds on clients’ existing strengths, explores current concerns while considering the impact of past experiences, and increases skills for self-awareness, coping, communication, and values-driven behavioral changes. I'm integrative, tailored to clients, and strengths-focused, drawing from relational, emotion-focused, CBT, and ACT, mindfulness and DBT skills. This process encourages holistic awareness and acceptance of the many aspects of ourselves, empowering individuals to better understand self and others, and to more confidently define next steps. I provide a supportive therapeutic space characterized by patience, compassion, flexibility, and curiosity that values authentic communication and continuous feedback.
