Dr. Mabel Lo

I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in both Delaware and Iowa. I earned my doctorate (Psy.D., Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology) from the Fuller School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience working with diverse populations in the East Coast, the Midwest, and the Los Angeles area in a variety of settings, such as outpatient behavioral agencies, community mental health clinics, a psychiatric hospital focusing on chemical dependency, a university counseling center, and a school district. I also received a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Hong Kong.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with a wide variety of concerns. My clinical interests include anxiety and mood disorders, trauma recovery, grief and loss, family of origin issues, ADHD, relational distress, substance use disorders, eating concerns, perfectionism, cross-cultural adjustments, and spirituality. I was trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 2021 and my specialty area is to help individuals with complex childhood traumas and PTSD using attachment-informed EMDR interventions.

My clinical practice is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, as I believe in the inherent worth, capability, and resources of each person. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment for clients to increase their self-awareness, improve their connection to themselves and others, and pursue a holistic sense of well-being. I use and integrate clinical interventions from various therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Attachment, the Family Systems Approach, and Multicultural Counseling to best serve the unique needs of each client.

During the first session, I try to understand what brings a client to therapy and their struggles. I strive to create a safe and secure space for clients to share their concerns. Besides gathering information about a client's psychosocial history, I try to understand the client's goals for therapy and I explain what therapy will look like moving forward.
