Xiaohong Wu

Hello, I'm Xiaohong. I believe in the healing power of companionship, and as a licensed mental health counselor, I am dedicated to walking alongside you through emotional pain and life's difficult chapters. I hold professional licenses in New York, California, and North Carolina and bring six years of experience specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma recovery (including childhood trauma), relationship challenges, self-esteem, and cross-cultural adjustment & identity. As a bilingual therapist (English & Mandarin) who has personally navigated life between cultures, I offer not only clinical expertise but also a heartfelt understanding of what it means to navigate two worlds.

I know reaching out takes courage. If you're here, you've likely been carrying this weight on your own for long enough. Please know that you are no longer alone. I am here to walk with you, supporting your courageous steps toward healing as you grow into a more whole, empowered, and peaceful version of yourself.

I create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where all parts of you are welcome. My approach is integrative and compassionate, primarily drawing on Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for healing attachment wounds, Internal Family Systems (IFS) for understanding your inner world with compassion, and mindfulness for grounding and awareness.

Our work will focus on helping you understand the messages behind your emotions, tending to the younger parts of you that may hold pain, and building a compassionate relationship with yourself so you can face life’s challenges from a place of strength, not survival.

You can expect a trusted, side-by-side partnership. I will be your gentle and steady guide, while you remain the author of your own life story. Together, we will:

• Listen closely and understand the true messages and yearnings behind your emotions.
• Heal neglected or wounded parts of yourself with patience and compassionate care.
• Nurture your inner strength and clarify your personal boundaries, so you can walk your path with greater steadiness and assurance.
• Practice kindness and trust toward yourself in daily life, allowing resilience to grow naturally.

I provide online therapy to residents of New York and North Carolina in both English and Mandarin. When you feel ready to write the next chapter of your story with a supportive companion who understands, a space is held here for you. I look forward to hearing from you and beginning our journey together toward a more whole and empowered you.
