Dr. Chu has trained in a variety of settings including a private practice, community mental health clinic, and a psychiatric hospital.

He has helped clients with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, grief/loss, trauma, relational conflict, and identity issues. Dr. Chu primarily approaches therapy through the lenses of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered Therapy. His approach to healing integrates genuineness, authenticity, openness, empathy, validation, and unconditional acceptance. He emphasizes a collaborative approach in therapy to help clients identify their own unique goals and values, personal strengths, and abilities to implement the change they want. Dr. Chu also works with clients to challenge counterproductive behavioral patterns, address negative thoughts, and foster acceptance of unavoidable life factors, all of which can contribute to feeling “stuck” and away from the present moment.
